Vibrant Jewel Tones

A big trend in colors this year are the vibrant jewel tones such as teal, amethyst, fuchsia, and apple green. It's a trend I'm thrilled about, these shades are some of my very favorites and I love to see all the different ways they are being used.

Purples are great, in most any shade and they also flatter just about any skin tone. Deep purple, especially amethyst, pairs well with other bold colors like fuchsia and yellow. Here is a post from Tami off of the September's Bride blog describing different ways to incorporate and coordinate using purple.

Teal is at the top of my list this year. It looks amazing with any basic such as black, brown, gray or charcoal. It makes a beautiful statement for any type of event, from classy to casual.

Pinks never go out of style and with there being so many shades you can use multiple together or pick your favorite and accent it with other colors. Fuchsia is the bold color of choice for many this season, it can be combined with lighter pinks or even other bolds like green apple, orange or amethyst.

My biggest piece of advice when choosing your wedding color palette...don't be afraid of going BOLD!
