Well, do you love it?
I do. I LOVE Pantone’s Colour of the Year for 2017. Greenery is bright, fresh, and full of energy and promise. It’s the colour of spring, rebirth and hope. Every new year should wear this colour.
You’ve got to hand it to those clever folks at Pantone. What started as a marketing initiative in 1999 is now a highly anticipated annual event. Every December eager colour enthusiasts from all walks of life, from around the globe, wait breathlessly for Pantone to announce which hue will be crowned The Colour of the Year.
Being named Colour of the Year is all well and good, but let’s get practical. Will we see Greenery influencing wedding florals in 2017?
Yes we will. In fact, I think it’s safe to say that greenery in all its forms has been a big trend in wedding florals for a couple of years now. Here’s a detail shot from a rustic wedding I did in September. This lush runner was created by Leuk in Collingwood.
And the bride’s beautiful bouquet, also created by Leuk, emphasized greens over flowers.

Love this Christine. All the eco-couples will love tying this into their weddings.
Keep the green going and instead of giving away favours, consider a donation to an eco-based organization!
I agree. The eco-conscious couples will love this, but I think it’s appeal is universal. It’s just such a happy colour!
