Every year, guardians of all things colour, Pantone, declare a particular colour their "Pantone Colour of the Year", a hue that fashion, interior, beauty and product designers - and even wedding industry professionals! - use to help guide their design decisions. This year, Pantone has announced Very Peri as the Colour of the Year 2022. This new shade of periwinkle-meets-violet is a result of almost a year’s worth of research and trend forecasting from the Pantone Colour Institute, which begins looking at colour trends in the late Spring. Luckily for us, this hue, which has notes of blue with violet-red undertones, has been a popular choice at weddings for quite some time. From floral arrangements and cake, to stationery and bridesmaids dresses, there's no end to the potential Very Peri inclusions for 2022 and 2023 weddings. So, if you’re still trying to pick your wedding colours, read on to see if this purple-blue hue is the one for you!
