Spring 2010 Color Trends

I conferred with Trend Consultant, Tracey Mammolito (she also happens to be one of my besties – how lucky am I?) on what the color trends will be for next year, specifically Spring 2010.

Following is what we agreed will be Hot! Hot! Hot!

YELLOW
Beginning in Spring 2008, yellow was all over the runways but Tracey believes this trend coincides with the Presidential election and Obama’s campaign message of “HOPE”. I couldn’t agree more, what other color screams optimism than yellow?





GREEN
A reoccurring trend since 2007 has been the “green wedding”. Also related to the political climate (no pun intended) a continued focus of eco-conscious events.

With any event, there are numerous opportunities to make ethical and informed decisions. Consider using organic flowers for centerpieces, recycled paper for invitations, and local/organic foods on the menu. Each decision will make a difference!

If you are a couple concerned about the carbon footprint for your wedding, I encourage you to read
Emily Anderson’s Eco-Chic Weddings and/or visit her blog for great ideas to keep your wedding “green” http://www.ecochicweddings.typepad.com/

BLUE
Mammolito says 2010 is more about a lighter, more delicate shade of blue. Tones which emit a sense of calm and serenity.
Martha Stewart Weddings just had an AMAZING layout of sea-glass inspired palettes…















PURPLE
Mammolito says "Purple" is an it color for 2010. I say purple, eggplant, plum, and shades of lavender are going to be all over the place. Perfectly paired with silver, cranberry, green or even navy. You cannot go wrong.
