The Pantone Color of the Year dropped last week and we want to talk about it! Last Wednesday we waited with bated breath on Pantone's Instagram post announcing 2020s Color of the Year. They teased a few snaps of a gorgeous sunset and we were convinced that the COTY might be an Orange Blossom, a Ruby Red, or Bold Fuchsia so when Classic Blue was announced we were a little… underwhelmed. Blue is a beautiful color both in and outside of wedding design, but being lovers or all things extra we expected something a little more dynamic. I headed over the Pantone's blog for more insight on the choice. They described Classic Blue as:

Instilling calm, confidence, and connection, this enduring blue hue highlights our desire for a dependable and stable foundation on which to build as we cross the threshold into a new era.
- Pantone

And that's when we got it; calm, confident, and dependable though not always top of mind when dreaming up wedding color palettes, are some of the most important components to planning a wedding and a life with your boo. While going through our gorgeous wedding archives, we found so many past weddings that'd used blue to compliment their wedding style. Each exuded elegance, style, and understated beauty. Classic Blue, it took us a second, but we're into you.

If you’re into Classic Blue too, we’ve put together a few complementary color palettes plus inspiration from some of our own wedding’s Classic Blue moments. Enjoy!
