Tuesday Inspiration Board - Pantone Honeysuckle

It's Tuesday, and that now means Inspiration Board Day! For my first one, I decided to consider the possibilities of Pantone's 2011 Color of the Year, Honeysuckle. It's a gorgeous, rich, vibrant pink that is a beautiful choice for a wedding any time of the year.

While you could go the more traditional (but still lovely) route and pair it with ice pink, silver and pearl, I chose to play it up by mixing it with bronze and olive. This color scheme would be beautiful for a late summer or fall wedding. The pink really pops against the deeper metallics without being too candy-sweet or overwhelmingly pink. Add a few accents of crimson, gold and green, and you're good to go!
