Pretty in Veri Peri: Pantone Colour of The Year 2022 Wedding Inspiration
For the first time ever, a new colour was made for Pantone's 'Colour of the Year 2022'! Naming the colour 'Very Peri', Pantone feels it is the perfect representation of our world’s current climate.
I felt super inspired by the meaning behind Very Peri - and what could be more inspirational than creating a wedding that is not only visually stunning but also reflects the spirit and joy of you as a couple?
Let’s face it- times have been hard. But like Pantone, we’re ready to look toward brighter days; and nothing signifies hope for the future more than a wedding!
The meaning behind Very Peri isn't the only beautiful thing about the colour- just look how gorgeous it is! The color is not quite periwinkle and not quite lavender, but rather a magical mix of the two. With its tones of both blue and red, it is a great colour for any season of the year. Very Peri is perfect to bring into weddings as either a main colour or even an accent.
Keep reading to see some great examples of how to use this shade on your wedding day; from florals to cake design to décor, Very Peri is the shade you've been dreaming of for 2022!
Bridesmaids and Groomsmen Looks
Look how chic the different tones and textures of these Paper Crown dresses play with the florals and vineyard. What a beautiful colour to accent any sunny wedding!
And for the groomsmen, try using Very Peri's tone in the suiting or in the florals! The lighter tone pulls more grey, looking sophisticated and chic next to whites and ivories!
Florals
Using different tones of Very Peri within your floral arrangements can make a stunning look for your wedding day. There are a variety of flowers that exude this gentle yet powerful color. Hydrangeas and lilacs both come in this beautiful shade. Use them in your bouquet alongside white roses or rich greenery.
This couple used Very Peri coloured blooms to create an ethereal and fairy like theme for their wedding. Pieces like ceremony décor and huge wild bouquets tied with ribbons, pictured above, were the perfect places to feature the joyous colour.
Veils & Capes
Lily Waronker chose to wear this beautifully Very Peri-toned lace veil on her wedding day to Jonny Gordon in Los Angeles. Her scalloped Very Peri coloured veil alongside her dark, aubergine calla lily bouquet just oozes "Prince" vibes! See more jaw-dropping, disco-packed photos of her look here.
If you're loving the look of a cape, this one-of-a-kind cape from Haizea Couture on Etsy is perfect! The shape of the cowl back of the veil would complement the backs of our dresses wonderfully. And to change the look throughout your wedding day, wear the cape as detachable to add a completely different, Very Peri vibe! If you love it, you better buy it quick! And if you miss it, check out her other wedding capes and accessories on her Etsy page!
Stationery
This whimsical use of Very Peri in wedding stationery, Margo and Bees perfectly captures the essence of the colour- sharing joy and love for the perfect invitation by post.
Or, use the Very Peri colour as an accent against the beautiful metallic gold cardstock, wax seal, and metallic lettering. I am infatuated with the addition of the lavender pressed to the invitation with wax.
Shoes
Do you wish your "something blue" was more of a Very Peri colour? (I don't blame you, I cannot get enough of the colour!) If you are as obsessed with Very Peri as I am, look no further than these Gisella pumps by Badgley Mischka. Adorned with delicate feathers, these heels are some of the most gorgeous I've ever seen, and what better occasion than your wedding to wear them?
Styling
Bring the Very Peri joy to your table with these embroidered linen napkins! What an elegant way to tie in the colour without being too overly done. Pair with gold accents for the perfect table colour scheme!
I am loving the accent of Very Peri found in the pillows, florals, and ribbons of this wedding table! The gold and sequinned details found throughout are perfectly placed as well.
Desserts
These delicious elderflower and lilac popsicles are super easy to make and will serve as a great treat for your guests on a sunny spring or summer day! Just gently press the lilac into popsicle moulds, then filling with the elderflower concentrate and water mixture. You can also use other edible flowers like violets and roses, and champagne is always a possibility if elderflower isn't for you!
Obsessed with these macarons by i sugar coat it, these lavender rose french macarons are the perfect pop of colour to bring to your wedding. Even if you're not a skilled baker yourself, you definitely must use these as inspo and take them to someone who can!
And you can't have a wedding inspo blog without including a cake! I am in love with this one by Juniper Cakery. the different sized and coloured pearls really add a super unique, modern look and feel. The Very Peri-toned pearls are the perfect pop to adorn this wedding cake!
So- are you as mesmerized by Very Peri as I am? I would love to hear how you'd incorporate this colour into your special day! Stationery, flowers, or tableware? The options are endless! See you Saturday!!
