Paint your 2023 destination wedding Viva Magenta with Pantone
2023 is the year of living la Viva Magenta! Pantone’s Colour of the Year is back and this year’s top shade, Viva Magenta, is full of vigour! This stunning colour rooted in the red family is brave and fearless, powerful and empowering, and promotes a joyous, optimistic celebration – just like a destination wedding! Bold enough to stand on its own and subtle enough to be complementary, check out how you can add the colour of the year to the most important day of your life in paradise!
Get in formation!
A classic way couples can incorporate Viva Magenta into their wedding day scheme is with a monochromatic colour palette. By pairing Viva Magenta’s rich and deep red hue with other pinks and reds, they can create a colourful and, might we suggest, romantic arrangement that is effortless. For instance, Viva Magenta works great with Pantone’s Pale Dogwood and similar tones. Speaking of arrangement, why not use this palette in your florals? Whether it’s in your centrepieces, wedding walk confetti or bridal bouquet, nothing quite says love like red and pink flowers on your wedding day.
Make it POP
Viva Magenta is bold, bright and beautiful – just like you and your tropical destination! Lean into the brilliance and create a striking palette by combining it with neon colours. Why be subtle when you can be vivacious? Pair Viva Magenta with a bright neon yellow to create a standout combination that is powerful without being overwhelming. Worried it’ll be more ‘shock’ than ‘awww’? Add a warm beige tone like Pantone’s Gray Sand to the mix to keep the combo grounded and not have you competing for your guests’ attention. Use this in your invitations, wedding day program or cocktail menu to really get your friends and family in the spirit – no pun intended.
Stay down to earth
If you want to add a dash of flash without having Viva Magenta steal the show, soften it with earthy hues like Pantone’s Pale Khaki or Fields of Rye. This colour combo is warm and fuzzy, just like the love you share with your partner and is perfectly in sync with a destination wedding. We think this pairing works best for bridesmaid dresses and groomsmen attire, creating a refined yet romantic, powerful but soft look that will stand out against the natural beauty of your chosen destination – without throwing any shade onto the betrothed couple!
Accents are totally hot
And we’re not just talking about the suave voices of Antonio Banderas or Ana De Armas! Viva Magenta is just as well-suited to co-star in your wedding colour scheme along soft hues like Pantone’s Gray Lilac or Plein Air instead of taking centre stage. There are countless opportunities for adding a splash of colour to your wedding day with Viva Magenta, like as a vibrant table runner for the head table or weaved into the pattern of your guests’ table linens. Another easy way to subtly incorporate Viva Magenta into your wedding day is with your cake as decoration, bright piping – you name it!
