Colors - What's Hot for 2010

I spent some time today online looking up color trends for weddings this year and it is amazing what I found. There doesn't seem to be a really popular color for the year, rather, brides are choosing bold, bright, fun colors and mixing it up this year.

I found one really interesting part of market research that talks about blues being big this year: Wedding Color Trends 2010 Report
"This report provides a look at color themes, color tones, color shade with tones, and color parings demand for 2010 to be married couples." Very formal, exact research, I had no idea this type of information existed!

Wedding Style says that purple is really big this year, as well as a bold blue, ruby, coral, and light grey.

After looking at a ton of sites (okay, really more like 10) I decided I liked what The Knot had to say and the way they presented it the best. They show bold, bright, primary colors and also have great color combo ideas: Blue and Yellow, Black and White, and Pink and Yellow. Check out their slide show at the link above, it's beautiful.

After looking at all the color ideas for the upcoming wedding season, bridesmaid jewelry is on my mind and I have a couple of new ideas for bridesmaid gifts. Keeping it affordable is always a top concern so I have been exploring simple, elegant, fun and bold pieces. Check the store for new listings this week!
