How To Use The Pantone Colour of The Year 2020 (Classic Blue) in Your Wedding! 

#1 Decor

We've already told you how Classic Blue is going to be one of the trending colours in wedding decor in 2020. And there's no doubt that this regal colour is perfect for both day and night-time functions. You can easily incorporate this colour in either backgrounds and tents or use them to embellish your seating areas (as cushions, table runners, fabrics & curtains). In fact, the versatility of this colour allows you to use it either in a formal setting or a more casual and fun quirky setup. Our favourite way of using Classic Blue in wedding decor would be in the form of large tassels and hanging floral ceiling decor that is sure to add a flare of this colour to any occasion. 

#2 Invites

Whether you like them regal and OTT or simple yet quirky, wedding invites are a quintessential part of any wedding. But we assure you that a classic blue invite is the perfect and not so basic 'shaadi ka card'. For all the couples planning to have a sumptuous wedding, a classic blue coloured invite (or invitation box) will not only seem more welcoming but is also a great way to symbolise your upcoming union. We suggest you get water-coloured invites with a white background so that the shade of blue truly shines in its full glory. Or if you're looking for something heavier, then go in for a Classic Blue invitation box embellished with either golden or silver work. Trust us, a Classic Blue invite will never disappoint!

#3 Bridal Outfits

Wondering how to use Pantone shade in wedding? Classic Blue is this year's colour and even the most famous wedding designers have embraced it. This colour has poppoed up here and there in weddings before, with even gorgeous brides donning on blue lehengas for their wedding festivites. We predict that this year, elements of Classic Blue will not only showcase themselves in sangeet and mehendi outfits, but also in wedding lehengas.

Lehenga

When it comes to bridal lehengas, the ways in which you can style in some Classic Blue are endless. You can either choose to drape a beautiful sheer dupatta in Classic Blue with your dull gold wedding lehenga, or go full extravagant and wear an entirely Classic Blue lehenga with silver or golden embroidery. And if you're not in the mood for heavily embellished works, then a funky, off beat short lehenga is always a go to option!

Saree

Classic Blue sarees are as regal as it gets. If you're looking for a more subtle option, then choose a simpler silk saree with motifs embroidered or painted on it. But if you're looking to glam it up then go in for a shimmery Classic Blue saree that will ensure that all eyes are on you!

Suits

Whether it's an anarkali or a salwar kameez, bridal suits will never out of fashion. They make excellent outfit options for functions like sangeet, reception and mehendi parties.
