Wedding colors 2017 - Cosmic color palette.


This is the year of aurora borealis - cosmic color palette. According to Eclectic trends - 
http://www.eclectictrends.com/my-lifestyle-trends-aw-201617-for-global-color-research-cosmic-part-iv-2/ this color palette will be visible in clothing, home decor and wedding decor. 







Eclectic trends says: "It’s a  very unusual colour palette for my blog, and even feels a bit odd to be honest, but when you talk trends, you can not just go for those you particularly like but have to have a brider vision. And it was the missing piece of the series, so here it goes:


COSMIC is pretty self-explanatory through the imagery here. Humankind has made it possible to reach the space with suborbital flights. Virgin Galactic will be the first commercial company to offer  spaceflights. Founder Sir R. Branson flew first in 2009, he has been testing and improving ever since and the first commercial flight will be scheduled in a near future. Dreaming of the wide universe and reaching it has become a bit closer.




COSMIC plays with the dark, the unknown, mystery and interacts at the same time with very shiny and bright colors. Iridescence and glitter effects are key here.



Exploding stars and Aurora Boreales give the inspiration for a new visual language with a wide color palette.

The color palette is bright, vivid and acid with pink an purple, greens and turquoise. Black and a really dark blue are the perfect backdrop for dramatic contrasts."



Please just remember that a color palette is only there to give you a guide line on the decor for your wedding. Don't try and bring in all the colors of a colour palette. If you are not very cautious it can look like a circus. Normally you will need to choose 3 to 5 colors of the color palette and work within those colors for your wedding.

With this color palette it is also very important to remember that you don't have to use the shiny materials that they suggest. Specially if you are not a bling kind of person. I always suggest to use the color palette only for guidance in color.

Lastly - if you google "cosmic color palette" you will get a lot of other color palettes as well. As an example:





The color palette that Pantone indicated for the year of 2017 consist of specific green, pinks, blues etc. Make sure you work in the correct colors.

Please follow our blog for a weekly moodboard and explanation of the 2017 color palette's use in wedding decor.

Happy eventing
