turquoise:
the colour of 2010

When it comes to colour, there is no question who is the know-it-all. And Pantone has announced not only all the colours that will be fashionable for Spring 2010 but have also declared that Turquoise is the colour of the year! Fabulous news for brides as this colour has so many options. For it can look romantic and dreamy with white if done in textures and layers but then equally modern and sophisticated if sharp, clean lines are used.

Our GOOD TIP for the day, when selecting a specific colour like turquoise it is sometimes very hard to find everything in the exact blue. So first things first make sure you have a Pantone Swatch of your colour on you at all times, that way you won’t be coming home with aqua ribbon instead of turquoise. Secondly, don’t try and have evrything matchy match, rather have accents of blue. For example look how fabulous this Style Me Pretty Inspiration to Reality photoshoot looks just with the blue chairs!



Or maybe consider just the jewellery of you and your bridesmaids being the selected shade rather than their entire outfits.



Furthermore, turquoise has the versatility to be paired beautifully with just about any colour in the spectrum. For a tropical destination wedding think fuchsia pink or lime green and for a classic traditional wedding: soft pinks. But I think my new favourite combo would be with tangerine or tomato puree. Check out all the hot colours for 2010 approved by Pantone.
