If you want to spice up your wedding decor, it’s easy when you use a trendy color in your wedding color scheme.  Want to know what’s hot? Read on.

Hot Magenta – This snazzy pink color looks great on wedding flowers, favors and bridal accessories.  For the best look, pair magenta with lime green or crisp white.  For flowers in this shade, try anemones, roses and gerbera daisies.

Deep Chocolate – This trend from last year is still going strong. This season, brown becomes updated with fresh color pairings. To get the hottest look, pair chocolate brown with punchy colors like orange and magenta. Chocolate gives a very rich look to anything it touches, so use it to give extra elegance to handmade items like wedding favors.

Lime Green – On the cooler end of the spectrum, lime green brings in garden inspired color with a twist. Lime can be paired with white for a crisp classic look, or you can mix it up by adding lime to a citrus inspired palette.  You can also liven up a pastel palette with a touch of lime.  An easy way to incorporate this color is in your floral arrangements.  Many flowers come in green or have lime-colored foliage.  Hydrangeas, spider mums, and are all good choices.

Red Orange – Like chocolate brown, orange is making a comeback this year.  But unlike last year’s citrus hues, this season’s oranges come with some kick.  Red-toned oranges like tangerine look the freshest.  Orange can be incorporated by using roses, ranunculus, dahlias or even fresh citrus in your floral arrangements.
