For more than 50 years, the Pantone Color Institute has been studying trends in all industries where colors have any meaning - from fashion to furniture design. Since 2000, they have annually chosen a certain color as the main shade of the year, and since then we regularly see it in store windows, in design, advertising and even event decoration.
In 2022, the main colors are the uncompromising gray Ultimate Gray and bright yellow, positive Illuminating . Gray represents reliability and resilience, while yellow represents hope and energy. In addition, Pantone experts regularly determine the key colors of each season, and the spring-summer 2022 palette contains many bright, memorable shades. We show you how to organically use all the main colors of the year in your wedding design.

Warm yellow
The bright and sunny shade of Illuminating is easiest to incorporate into a wedding aesthetic if you opt for Italian motifs in the decor. Juicy lemons combined with rich greenery immediately come to mind - this is the style that the Atelier dei Fiori decorating team recently decorated for one of the weddings at the Seneshal Hotel, boldly using fresh citruses and yellow flowers of all shades.
Stylish wedding bags
Everything in a bride's look should be perfect, including accessories. A wedding handbag should fit harmoniously into the created image and at the same time not cause any discomfort to its owner. That is why you need to decide in advance whether it will be convenient for you to carry a clutch or whether it is better to choose a compact bag with a strap.
Chic handmade handbags, covered with original patterns and decorated with pearls are the main trend in wedding fashion for 2021.
Stylists recommend taking a closer look at the following styles of handbags:
- clutch;
- Pompadour style bag;
- frame bag of unusual shape;
- compact handbag-wallet.
A wedding bag can be simple or decorated with additional elements, the most important thing is that it fits harmoniously into the final image of the bride.
Calm gray
Despite the fact that this color seems to “haunt” us for six months, when the sky is gray overhead and nature loses its colors, it can cause not only unpleasant associations. It is also the shade of sun-warmed beach rocks and majestic cliffs. Gray is associated with calm, serenity and the silent beauty of Scandinavian nature. Ultimate Gray is ideal for those who dream of a minimalist wedding with simple and understated decor.

Rich blue
Royal blue has been announced as the color of 2022 and has been featured periodically in wedding decorations. The upcoming spring-summer 2021 season features an almost identical shade, French Blue . Blue is often found in wedding decorations along with white or gray, however, to come up with a more unusual color combination, the decorator needs courage and taste. The professionals from the Floral style studio have them: take a look at their recent project with complex color contrasts, where the rich blue color of the installation and candles is adjacent to various shades of terracotta and crimson in the floristry.
Stylish wedding bouquets
Next year, famous florists from all over the world offer brides to complement their look with a classic wedding bouquet of white and pink roses, which are decorated with satin ribbons in blue, light blue and violet.
The florists did not sit idle and came up with very original options for bouquets that would suit the wedding dress and emphasize the natural beauty of the bride.
A voluminous bouquet of small field daisies will look very original and unforgettable, which will definitely decorate the image of a young girl. Another timeless classic is pink peonies, which with their amazing aroma and versatility will attract the admiring glances of others. In spring you can choose romantic tulips. Florists recommend not diluting tulips with other flowers. Thanks to this, the image will look complete and feminine.
Pink, lilac and shades of beige
These colors are considered classic in wedding decorations and are often used independently as the main tone of the celebration. They are also found in the palette of fashionable colors for the spring-summer 2022 season - cool Amethyst Orchid and rich berry Raspberry Sorbet .
But it is not at all necessary to use them as a dominant. If you are closer to natural, calm shades, pay attention to how these bright colors are organically combined with beige and white in the decor from Lid's Eventhouse. By the way, calm and basic shades from the Pantone palette are also present there - this is the sandy Desert Mist and the greenish Willow . Ears of corn and dried flowers create the effect of a real field right in the banquet hall.

Color of the year
It has long been a tradition that a wedding is decorated in a certain color scheme and, of course, it is important for future newlyweds to choose a fashionable one. Therefore, if you want to follow international standards, then in 2021 it is important to use two tones at once:
- sunny yellow called “Illuminating”;
- and neutral gray – “Ultimate Grey”.
This is interesting! By the way, for the second time in the entire history of the Institute, Panton chooses two colors as the main ones. For the first time in 2016, when they were named: “Rose Quartz” and “Serenity”.
This season, this decision was made in support of the concept of “Gender Fluidity” and social progress in general. In 2021, “Yellow” and “Grey” act as colors that complement and support each other, so combining them will be mega-relevant.
“Illuminating” conveys optimism, joy and cheerfulness, while “Ultimate Gray” conveys composure, resilience and stability. The Panton Institute notes that it considers them together as one whole.
By the way, “Grey” was chosen for the first time as the main color scheme of the year.
Buffet
Beautiful dishes and food are trending today. At a wedding, the emphasis should be on quality, not quantity, of food. The menu should be fashionable, thoughtful and elegant.
A buffet wedding is a chic option for young couples who do not want to spend the evening just at the table. Why not have a wedding in a light, relaxed format?

Chocolate palette
The easiest way to get a noble brown color is to mix the cream with regular coffee, cocoa powder or melted chocolate. However, you can resort to a more sophisticated method - using burnt sugar. To do this, granulated sugar is diluted in water in a ratio of 5: 1, the mixture is poured into a frying pan and placed on low heat. Keep the mixture on the stove until it acquires a rich brown color. Then remove it from the heat and pour in a little more water in a thin stream. Then carefully filter the resulting dye. The main thing is not to overexpose the sugar, otherwise hard lumps will form in it.
As you can see, making cream without dye for a cake is quite simple. And most importantly, you can do without harmful artificial additives. This decoration will definitely appeal to all your household members, especially little ones with a sweet tooth.
Mocha (cappuccino)
A bohemian mocha dress is sophistication, sensuality and a symbol of dreams come true. It is more suitable for older brides - elegant, intelligent ladies. The mocha color should also be present in the groom's outfit: shirt, tie, trousers or jacket. This shade beautifully sets off tanned skin; powder, ivory, milky, light pink decor looks expensive on such a dress.
Dusty Rose
This variation on the theme of pink, with a bias towards more gray, looks great on fair-skinned blondes . To make a dusty rose wedding dress look great, you should set it off with lighter accents, such as white lace. Harmonious models - mermaid, A-line, long, multi-tiered and with a train. Most suitable for outdoor summer weddings.
Snow-white
Aristocratic white color has been and remains classic, beautiful and the most popular. It is associated with purity and virginity - it is the color of perfection. Snow-white is a traditional bride's choice, which looks especially beautiful on girls with warm skin tones .
Arches
They are still popular at weddings. However, in the 2021 season it is worth abandoning the arch in the usual format. Today, hanging structures, arches in the form of a circle and geometric shapes, fabrics, floral compositions are relevant...
Stylish wedding veil
A veil with a train is an ideal option for real queens. With this element of your image, you are guaranteed the admiring glances of others. The length of such a product can reach five meters, but most designers do not exceed two meters.
In most cases, a veil with a train is distinguished by its versatility; it is embroidered along the contour with a fascinating floral pattern and decorated with rhinestones.
The Spanish veil is an ideal solution for those who follow all fashion rules and want to create a gentle, calm wedding look.
As for the short version of the veil, it looks best with short haircuts or tied up hair. But the classic multi-layered elbow-length veil goes well with any style of dress. This option will give the bride’s image airiness and lightness.
In conclusion, we can summarize that wedding fashion for the upcoming 2021-2022 year will delight all fashionistas with its variety and chic. The most important thing is to correctly combine all the details of the image. In this case, a good mood and unforgettable sensations of such a solemn holiday are guaranteed to you.
