One of the most popular questions in the wedding world when planning a wedding, is “What are the most popular colors for the year I am getting married in?” After all, this will be the base for a lot of your design decisions. Flowers, bridesmaid dresses, linens, lighting, paper products and so much more!  As a design firm we always strive stay up on the latest trends and one of the most sure fire ways to predict the upcoming year’s colors are to watch the runway shows.

Quite simply put, bright and bold colors are back. I think we are paying homage to the 1970’s and 1960’s and if i stop to think, I remember seeing a number of these little ditties in some form and fashion in my mom’s closet growing up-I wish she would have kept them now! Next year you will see lots of yellows, purples, reds, oranges and some fabulous blues. These colors can be combined in almost any fashion and will rock no matter which combo you pick. AND…another color that seems to creep back in every few years is black. This year both black and gray are hot hot hot! They can act as another predominate color or just a small accent color. Now that is not to say that whites and neutrals are out…they aren't. A lot of designers are  introducing a lot of those colors in their lines again this year. So adding a tan, ivory, white, or grays are A-OK..they just aren't going to be the main focus as they are this year. 

With that said we have some predictions for you based on the most fashionable and trendsetting designers:
