Pantone’s, color of the year “Viva Magenta”, is a must have for the 2023 wedding season.

It works well with subtle shades such as blush pink and gray lilac but looks super crisp worn with white and ivory.

This brave and fearless hue will breathe new life into your destination wedding’s color palette and we have some ideas on how you can incorporate it.

Flowers

This bright shade will look good in any bridal bouquet, regardless of the season. Weddings in Greece and bright colors always go together! Mix varying shades of magenta together or team with green foliage and neutral flowers for a more subtle look.

If you’re feeling bold and you want to make Viva Magenta the focal point of your reception, a lush runner or an extravagant arch are guaranteed to make a statement.

Bridesmaids Dresses

While more subtle shades of olive and rust have been popular for bridesmaids in recent years, magenta will definitely be making a comeback. A shade that looks particularly lovely for summer weddings, this will be the dress everyone will want to wear. To have the most impact, ensure the dresses are simple in design and let the Pantone Colour of the Year do all the talking.

Table Decorations

Candles, napkins, place mats or name tags will all add a touch of this vivid color into your reception.

Pairing magenta linens with more neutral accents, like a rattan charger, can help create balance. For an extra pop of color, you can further bring Viva Magenta into your tablescapes with magenta-toned menu cards or customized wedding favors.

If you’re into a more fun and unique combination, you can go for patterned linens or napkins.

Stationary

Splashes of magenta on your wedding day stationary will definitely make it memorable.Viva Magenta plays surprisingly well with a variety of other colors. including blue. Work it into your wedding invitations in the form of illustrations, envelope liners, and other fun flourishes.

Deserts & Cake

Step away from the pale pink and go bright with a Viva Magenta wedding cake. Either choose one that’s covered in bright pink icing or accessorize a simple white cake with magenta flowers. We love this modern take on the theme, proving that magenta can look powerful as well as feminine.

However, bear in mind that you don’t have to commit to Viva Magenta at every part of the celebration. A fun linen on your dessert table is a great way to draw attention to your wedding cake. This bright pink option can make the otherwise simple white cakes pop.

Let’s get colorful, let’s get Viva Magenta!
