Trend Alert! Hot colors for 2010...

Having trouble picking out your color scheme for your wedding? Before you make important wedding decisions on items like a cake, bridesmaid dresses, invitations, flowers and decor, it's important to pick out the colors you'll want to incorporate. We have what's hot for 2010 and beyond. Popular colors choices for 2010 are yellow, blue, red, purple and green.

Yellow seems to always make it to the top of whats hot almost every year. With so many hues, yellow color combinations are endless. My personal favorite colors to pair with yellow are white, blue, or green. Citrus theme and picnic theme weddings have rebounded in popularity and are no longer just for casual affairs as well.

Blue comes in an amazing array of shades and hues that are great for all seasons. Brighter shades of blue are great for spring and summer weddings, while darker shades of blue are beautiful for fall and winter affairs. Hydrangeas, Tulips, Poppies, Veronica, Sweet Peas, and delphiniums are beautiful choices for bouquets and centerpieces. Popular hues that brides are choosing in 2010 are tiffany blue, teal, navy, and cobalt.

Red has always been a popular choice for Winter weddings but is now finding it's way into the Summer season. Red can be an amazing Summer choice when paired with aqua blue. Because the colors are both rich tones you'll want to use a lot of white to tone down the combination.

Purple can be used year round and is a very versatile color. There are an amazing array of purple flower options that range from dahlias, hydrangeas, freesia, roses, and orchids to name a few. It is a beautiful color that is well complimented by shades of pink, white, and green.

Green is no longer just an accent color to be used as a floral filler. Hydrangeas, cymbidium orchids, and spider chrysanthemums are all beautiful flowers that can take center stage in a wedding centerpiece. Limes, green apples, and hedge apples can be used as accents in decor and are equally as great to incorporate in escort tables.

The above colors are great in their own but the color combinations are unlimited. New Fusion Events has two weddings in the next year in which the couples have chosen to incorporate purple and green into their wedding day. I put together a basic collaboration of pictures for one of the brides and have included the inspiration board below. We are all too excited to be working with these great couples with their amazing color schemes!

Summer Wedding

Today I'm highlighting some pictures from a wedding we planned and coordinated this past August at Willow Harbor Vineyards in Michigan. It was a Jewish-Christian wedding that was held on a Sunday afternoon at the vineyard. The wedding ceremony held very traditional colors of black and white and the reception was bold and bright with hot pink and orange colors abound. Some of our favorite pictures of the event are below.

Custom escort cards were crafted out of handmade pinwheels for the reception.

The cake was made by Rascia's Creative Cakes to match the brides reception colors of hot pink and orange with a splash of green.

Flip flops were offered to guests to make sure the guests could be comfortable while dancing.

The white tent and linens were a great foundation for the great bold colors of orange and pink.

A candy buffet offered guests a variety of sweet options all while staying within the color theme of pink and orange with hints of lime green.

The black and white theme of the ceremony was carried over to the bouquets. The bride and grooms mothers had Tussie Mussies instead of corsages or bouquets.

The handmade program fans were created by New Fusion Events to keep guests cool during the ceremony and to explain the Jewish customs that were part of the ceremony.

The ceremony service was held under a stone italian gazebo that was adorned with swags of hydrangeas and roses with crystal accents.

The ceremony was held in front of a pond next to the vineyard at Willow Harbor in Three Oaks, MI. The aisle was lined with white rose petals and shepherds hooks held arrangements of white hydrangea and accented with black and white ribbons.
