Viva Magenta: Adding a Pop of Color to Your Wedding Decor
/Pantone, the global authority on color, has declared Viva Magenta as the color of the year for 2023. This vibrant and bold hue is sure to make a statement at any wedding. Whether you're looking to incorporate it as an accent color or make it the main focus of your big day, Viva Magenta is a versatile shade that can create a truly romantic atmosphere
Here are a few ways we love seeing this color featured.
Invitations
The wedding invitation is often the first thing your guests will see, setting the tone for your big day. Consider incorporating Viva Magenta into your invitation design by using it as a background color, adding it as a border or using it as an accent color for text and graphics. If you're going for a minimalist look, try using a simple black font with a traditional white paper, but add a pop of Viva Magenta by using the color for a bow or your wax seal on the envelope. For a more elaborate design, mix Viva Magenta with other complementary colors such as blush, lavender or navy blue to create a stunning, eye-catching invitation.
Bridal Party Attire
Viva Magenta is a bold color that can make a statement in bridal party attire. Bridesmaids can wear Viva Magenta dresses, while groomsmen can wear ties or pocket squares in the same hue. The color can also be used for flower girl dresses, boutonnieres and even the bride's shoes. It might even be fun to give all of the groomsmen matching magenta socks. For a more understated look, consider having the bridesmaids wear a more muted tone, like champagne or blush pink, and carry bouquets in Viva Magenta or adding Viva Magenta accents to their hairstyles.
Floral Arrangements
Flowers play a big role in any wedding, and Viva Magenta can be used to add a pop of color to your floral arrangements. Consider incorporating Viva Magenta flowers such as hydrangea, tulips, peonies or roses into your bouquet and centerpieces. If you want to create a more understated look, mix Viva Magenta with other soft pastel colors such as blush pink or lilac. For a bolder look, mix Viva Magenta with other bright colors such as yellow or coral.
Table Settings
Table settings are a great way to incorporate Viva Magenta into your wedding decor. Consider using Viva Magenta napkins, tablecloths or table runners to add a pop of color to your reception. If you want to create a more understated look, mix Viva Magenta with neutral colors such as white or ivory or incorporate a floral accent in the china settings. Layering plays a big role here so you can create depth by using the color in multiple ways on the tablescape. For a bolder look, mix Viva Magenta with other bright colors such as yellow or green.
Lighting
Lighting can be used to enhance the Viva Magenta theme of your wedding. Consider using Viva Magenta uplighting or gobos to add a pop of color to your reception. If you want to create a more understated look, use Viva Magenta as an accent color for your lighting design. For a bolder look, make Viva Magenta the main color for your lighting design.
Desserts
Incorporating Viva Magenta into your dessert table can be a fun and creative way to add a pop of color to your wedding reception. You could add flowers as decoration on your wedding cake, such as fresh pink peonies or tulips. Or use Viva Magenta-colored containers for smaller desserts, such as cupcake containers, candy bowls or plates. You could also feature desserts that naturally incorporate the color, such as raspberry tarts or macarons, or have pink frosted cupcakes or cookies. The possibilities are endless! Adding Viva Magenta to your dessert table makes a beautiful statement and creates a cohesive look for your wedding decor.
