This year’s Pantone Color of the Year is Vivid Magenta and we are living for it!  The best part is this color is so fun to use in all your different pre-wedding and wedding festivities!  Below we have all the tips and trends you need to know on this bright and bold color.

Pre-Wedding Uses

We didn’t want to just give you wedding day uses for this color considering planning events start way before the big day! For your engagements party, engagement photo session, and beyond you can easily add this color as a small detail or a big focal point.  

Engagement Party Décor 

Engagement parties are great because they give you a small taste of how a pop of color may carry over to your big day, but with way less pressure.  Try incorporating the magenta color to your décor like in a fun balloon wall, floral focal point, or with your party signage.  We particularly love the idea of a personalized ice cream cart like this couple did!

Invitations to the Big Day!

Invitations are not just simple pieces of paper, they are a real chance to show off your wedding day vibe and creativity. Use the pop of pink in the font color, as the bold envelope your guests open, or as a smaller detail in the stamp or wax melt.

4 Vivid Magenta Color Schemes to Swoon Over

Stuck on what colors to pair with Vivid Magenta to create the wedding day of your dreams?  Well, we compiled a few dreamy color stories for you to get inspired by.

Berry Special 

The combination of light pink, magenta, and rich greens makes this color scheme pop in subtle and delicious way.  This fun wedding design in Palm Springs shows that magenta is a fun way to create a tropical art-deco style that is both flashy and refined.

Cool Blue 

Blue and pink have been a classic wedding-day color combination for a long time now, and we see no reason for that to stop! We love how exciting these colors can be when paired with the boldness of magenta and the dreaminess of cobalt – turning a classic color scheme on its head.

Eclectic Fun

If you want to stand out, then this totally non-average color design is for you! It is not a secret that we are totally obsessed with Julia and Jackson’s DTLA eclectic dream wedding (you can see this wedding in our 2023 Stylist Magazine). Giant balloons, sunset-inspired signage, and a fringe-tastic jacket makes this wedding on the top of our OBSESSED list.

Sangria + Slate

Now, this color palette is for the romantics.  Sultry magenta and sleek greys create this dreamy color design.  We love how this wedding color scheme is perfect for a wedding at an estate or high-opulence venue.
