When Pantone announces the color of the year, we always get excited to see how the “it” color will influence brides and wedding planners. No offense to Pantone, but the past couple of years haven’t left us feeling too inspired – was ultra violet anyone else’s least favorite choice? But this year, we immediately thought of all the ways we have seen, and hope to see more of, living coral implemented at weddings. This vibrant hue can be used boldly all-over, or as the perfect pretty pop of color. We have seen living coral wedding ideas in coastal celebrations, modern Mexicana themed receptions, and intimate backyard ceremonies. If you don’t believe this shade is as versatile as we say it is, just scroll all the stunning inspiration we’ve gathered below. These are a few of our favorite living coral wedding ideas…
