{Wedding Tips} Honeysuckle for Spring & Summer

{Written by Cortney Stanchfield; Inspiration Board Credit: Cortney, A Day To Remember}

Hello, it's me Cortney again and I am back and excited to talk a little more about wedding trend colors. In my initial post, we introduced Pantone's Honeysuckle and its versatility with navy blue and grey for the Fall and Winter seasons. Well, even though Fall and Winter are my favorite seasons, it is time to move onto Spring and Summer.

I am sure that you newly engaged couples out there are anxiously awaiting to use this color for your 2012 wedding, so let's get started! The good thing is that Honeysuckle is such a versatile color and can be used for all seasons. Playing with colors, two accent colors that would play nicely are ivory and yellow! Imagine Honeysuckle with ivory for a romantic spring affair or pair it with a bright yellow for a flirty summer occasion!



Personally, Honeysuckle is more eye catching if you use it sparingly. Honeysuckle is a warm hue that will be sure to compliment any color you choose to pair it with; therefore, don't be scared to experiment with it and place it with a color that fits your personal style.

Forecasted for 2012: romantic wedding bouquets, so, use ivory flowers such as peonies and pair them with a light shade of Honeysuckle such as a deep pink Oriental Lily or a hot pink French Tulip. Add in small details such as pearls, creating the perfect ultra romantic bouquet. Want to go with a fun and flirty bouquet? Pair some fun yellow Billy Balls with varying pink shades of Gerbera Daisies and you will have yourself the perfect summer bouquet.



If you choose to have Honeysuckle as a major player of your color palette, then think about incorporating it into your stationery. This will be the perfect way to introduce your brave color for your wedding!

Since Honeysuckle is a really girly color, let your man have his fun with the Groom's cake, which is always the Southern tradition! This cake is all about his interests, so let him have fun with it and go crazy!

Well again it has been a pleasure, thank you again for taking the time to read my blog entry. I am super excited to start on my next blog post, so again, stayed tuned. I will be back! :)
