The colors for this spring are lovely. The eight colors are: fuchsia red, salmon rose, palace blue, lucite green, super lemon, dark citron, lavender, vibrant green, slate gray, and rose dust.
Lovely! And for you fall brides out there, the colors for this fall are: American beauty, purple heart, honey yellow, iron, burnt sienna, nomad, rapture rose, warm olive, majolica blue, and creme brulee.
Ok, now you've seen the colors, and I bet you're saying to yourself, "self, what do I do with these colors?" First, start playing with them! Websites like Polyvore and More Alive with Color let you play around with color combinations and start making inspiration boards for your wedding.
