Pantone has announced its color of the year for 2013 and I couldn’t be more thrilled that it is emerald! Emerald is a lively and lush color most often associated with the gem of the same name. Since antiquity this luxurious and sophisticated color has represented wealth, prosperity, and energy. These are all reasons why Pantone’s color of the year makes such a perfect wedding palette! I’ve put together five brand new inspiration boards for you to celebrate this gorgeous color – enjoy!
Winter Emerald
Garden Emerald
Tropical Emerald
Antique Gold & Emerald
Vintage Emerald
So which of these Pantone Color of the Year looks is your favorite? If you haven’t quite gotten enough emerald wedding inspiration here’s one more post from a while back:
