Every year, the colour experts Pantone release their Colour of the Year, taking inspiration from the trends and fashion of the past 12 months. Pantone’s Colour of the Year for 2019, Living Coral, couldn’t be more perfect for destination weddings. This vibrant hue pairs beautifully with a backdrop of lush green palms and the turquoise blue sea. To celebrate this year’s colour, we compiled all the different ways that you can incorporate this tropical shade into your big day in destination.

Wedding day florals

One of the easiest ways to add a splash of Living Coral in your destination wedding is with your florals, from the bouquet/boutonniere to the ceremony arch and the reception centrepieces. Choose to have all your florals in this tropical coral colour or complement the vibrant hue with blush pinks, creamy whites and lush greenery.

Bride and groom accessories

Add a pop of colour to your wedding day look by incorporating Living Coral into your day-of accessories! Brides can paint their nails Living Coral – a flattering hue on all skin tones – or accessorize with vibrantly colourful pair of shoes or a clutch. Grooms can accessorize with Living Coral by wearing a shirt, tie or pocket square in the bright shade.

Signature drinks

Looking for a unique way to feature Living Coral in your wedding day? Have the resort bartenders make signature cocktails for your big day using Pantone’s Color of the Year. Drinks can easily be made in Living Coral hues using different fruit juices like grapefruit, watermelon and blood orange; plus, Campari liquor in a red colour and grenadine syrup.
