Pantone Color of the Year: Radiant Orchid

Now that the holidays are officially over, it's time to set our sights for 2014.  For those that just got engaged during the holidays...congrats! Come join the planning frenzy! Pantone has named their color for 2014: Radiant Orchid. This warm purple has been popping up anywhere you can find inspiration for any design challenge...especially for weddings. This great color can be used in a monochromatic palette or with accenting colors. 

One of the challenges for some couples is choosing the right color palette for their wedding. It can be a difficult bridge to cross, because it is a design element that will be displayed consistently throughout your day...even before via invitations and possibly your save-the-dates. It is a foundational element that holds your theme together. So where do you go to find color palette inspiration? Enter Design Seeds ... this site is great for getting the color creative juices flowing. You can search a dominate color or by theme.  Here I pulled some Radiant Orchid inspired palettes by season. Remember inspiration can literally be found anywhere...on your walk to work, driving down the road, what you are drinking or eating, etc. Be inspired and ...
