Living Coral – Pantone Color of year 2019

The color experts have spoken and it’s going to be all about Coral for 2019!  For the past two decades the Pantone color of the year selection influences the design industry and that includes flowers.  They base their selection on thorough analysis of current world wide trends in the fields of art, travel, film and fashion.  Could this signal a move from the soft blush tones that we have seen over the past five or so wedding seasons to a more vibrant hue? Maybe.  I do have a soft spot in my heart for a beautiful blush wedding as that was my color theme for my own wedding.  But maybe 2019 will be the year of “mellow vibrancy” as Pantone describes the color Living Coral.  In these trying times we could all use a little warm comfort and what better way to convey this then through flowers?  Flower options in coral are endless and oh so beautiful.   Pairing a focal coral flower amongst blush tones in a bouquet is stunning and just makes me happy.  I can’t wait to see how many brides want to bring a little warmth and happiness into their weddings this season!
