2011 Color of the Year - Honeysuckle!

When Pantone speaks, my little ears perk up! I couldn't wait to hear about the 2011 color of the year, and now that I've had a few days to think about it, I think I'm in love. Honeysuckle is such a sweet color, without being saccharin or childlike. I can see it easily as a wedding color combined with metallic gold or silver or as inspiration for a birthday party with tons of pep and vigor.

Below is the first invitation I have designed using this new color.  It's featured on one of my new die cut invitations. 

Inspired by Pantone.com’s 2011 Spring Fashion color report,  I have put together hues that will be hot this spring. A soft hint of pink and pretty lavender will create an elegant look, while vibrant papaya orange and berry pink make a bold contemporary statement. Tiffany blue is still going strong, as well as Chocolate brown for the upcoming season. What will be the main color for your spring or summer wedding? Please leave us a comment with your thoughts…
