Some brides have known all their lives what they want their wedding to look like, from the dress to the decorations. Others need a little inspiration. Or perhaps the color scheme you chose when you were five needs a little updating to bring it into 2017. If that’s the case, we can help.

Every year since 2000, Pantone reveals their spring color report and Color of the Year during New York Fashion Week. They choose a color that reflects the current cultural climate, and the big reveal is eagerly awaited each year by fashionistas and designers. It has historically shifted all facets of design towards the chosen color of the year, so if you want your wedding to be on trend and on point, there’s no better way than to choose a color scheme based on Pantone’s recent report.

Greenery, the 2017 Pantone Color of the Year, is a lush, refreshing yellow-green hue that reflects new beginnings, making it absolutely perfect for a wedding theme. While you’ll still need to make a decision on the dress, choosing your decor is a breeze with our list of 17 flowers and plants that match our five favorite Pantone colors for 2017. Take a look at these wedding flower ideas below!
