The fashion cycle is bringing trends from the past and this vintage retro colour reborns in the 21^st century. This colour also evokes the corals, shelter of the sea life in need to be preserved.

The colour of the year will influence various industries, and the wedding industry will be no exception. The energy and familiarity of this colour can be combined with others and create an ideal color line for the ceremony you want.

How to use the living coral in your wedding?

Colour trends are not always easy to match with others. Remember the colour of the year 2018: the ultraviolet, a provocative and challenging colour, which originated decorations of supreme elegance. (see photos bellow)

Although there is a trend of the year, the remaining colours of the palette are not left behind. Depending on the styling you have chosen for your wedding, we can suggest using the living, warmth, softness and versatility of the 2019 living coral as the highlight colour, or just using small notes of this color on the décor or other details.

It can work very well when combined with

• turquoise,
• olive green,
• brown
• and also with the color of 2018, ultra violet,
• or the color of 2017, greenery.

Combines very well with wood, wicker and ceramics. But avoid mixing everything, ie keep it in the dark colors, or in the lightest or in pastel tones.

Use natural notes on floral decorations, be exquisite on stationary or dresses.

Let yourself be inspired by the joy of living coral and be even happier!
