Have a Very Peri Wedding
The year of the Pantone Very Peri wedding is here! Each year, color experts at the Pantone Color Institute™ select a much-awaited Color of the Year. Through trend analysis and consideration of the cultural zeitgeist, these trend forecasters study fashion, film, travel, new technologies, home design, socio-economic conditions, and more to coin a color to set the pace of the next year’s visuals.
For 2022, Pantone’s team named Very Peri (PANTONE 17-3938) as the Color of the Year. The color is a periwinkle-meets-deep lavender tone, evoking feelings of calmness and a carefree confidence. After what 2020 and 2021 put the world through, it only makes sense that 2022 gets bestowed such a hopeful hue.
In Pantone’s own words, “[…] Very Peri helps us to embrace this altered landscape of possibilities, opening us up to a new vision as we rewrite our lives. Rekindling gratitude for some of the qualities that blue represents complemented by a new perspective that resonates today, PANTONE 17-3938 Very Peri places the future ahead in a new light.”
What better way to celebrate your nuptials than with a color that celebrates such new beginnings! Here are some inspirations on how to create a Pantone Very Peri wedding.
