Prepare to get creative because our Pantone Wedding Design Colour Challenge is back!
We all love a good styling and design challenge so this month we’re bringing back our most popular competition ever.
As many of you know, Autumn is the time we focus on looking to the year ahead, compiling all the need-to-know wedding trend predictions for next year.
So if you love wedding design, working with colour, AND you’d love the chance to be featured in our 2022 International Wedding Trend Report then you need to enter this competition!
What is the Pantone Wedding Design Colour Challenge?
As you know the wedding industry is heavily invested in trends. From the bridal fashion runways in New York to the most covetable wedding tablescapes created by the top wedding planners and stylists.
And colour trends are a HUGE part of it. A wedding palette plays a big role in setting the look and feel of a wedding.
This is why we’re always so excited to see the top colour trends for the coming year as predicted by the colour authority Pantone and explore how these might be translated in a wedding design.
And next season’s colours are a stunning selection of rich and vibrant brights, soft ice cream pastels and a focus on a variety of blue shades. Plus that warm Mocha is lush!
How does the Challenge Work?
Your challenge is to design a wedding inspiration moodboard inspired by one of the 2022 trending colours.
All you have to do is:
