An Essex Wedding - Mar/Apr 2019 (Issue 85)

6 Coral relief E very year I sit impatiently waiting for the announcement of Pantone’s Colour of the Year to drop into my inbox. It always gives me an insight into what’s going to be big in the world of weddings for the next 12 months in terms of décor, stationery, flowers and dresses – the list goes on. And boy did 2019’s hue live up to expectations – welcome to the year of Living Coral! I can’t express my excitement for this versatile hue to be leading the colour palettes of up-and-coming nuptials and couldn’t resist bringing together a selection of products to help you plan your on-trend colour scheme.
