The Pantone color of year took many by surprise, but you might just be shocked at how lovely it is when incorporated into your floral design…
| I remember where I was when I got the news about the new Pantone of the Year color, Very Peri… I disgustingly looked down at my phone and was mortified by the bight blueish-purple color that looked more like it belonged to a Veggie Tales character than on a beautifully produced wedding tablescape. |
But… as the news began to settle, I began looking for Very Peri in the wild. And honestly, I didn’t hate what I was seeing. At that time, I was at Walt Disney World celebrating the 50th Anniversary Celebration. As it would be Disney decided on an “ear-idesent” color palette for the celebration. And, can you believe it, there is our very own Very Peri hanging out ALL over that color palette. I was shocked…
Seeing Very Peri in the wild helped me to think outside the box in terms of this vibrant color. Slowly, I began to see some ways to incorporate touches of it in your color palette and florals. Here are a few of my favorite examples…
- In a monocromatic design
- As a large-scale statement piece
- Accenting other pastel colors
- Bringing warmth through a taper candle
- Mixed and matched in a cool color palette
- A fun, bright surprise in an arrangement
And, if I’m being extra honest with you my friend, I even spy some Very Peri in some of my past work (and have plans to incorporate it in 2022!) Check out some photos from a recent editorial shoot featuring the Pantone Color of the Year…
Well… I digress. I don’t hate Very Peri after all! I think when used properly, this slightly wild color can be used even in a very elevated look! What do you think of it? Love it? Hate it? Want to see more of it? I’d love to know, so drop me a comment below!
