The Year of Emerald

Pantone Color of 2013: EMERALD
According to Pantone, emerald is energizing, positive, luxurious, radiant, harmonious, striking, luminous, and sophisticated, among other things. My prediction in wedding trend is out with the simplicity and in with luxury.  Expect to see a lot of green inspiration and jewel tones all over the wedding blogs and magazines.

Your engagement photos.  Not sure about green for the wedding? Try adding a pop of green to your engagement photos.  Green is always eye catching and flattering on most skin tones. You just have to experiment to find the right hue.
