Wedding Wednesday: A Silver & Gold Palette

Back in the day, when I was a bride, silver or gold would have been considered gauche. Today, metallics are everywhere and bridal bling is considered de rigueur.  If I had to do it over again, silver and gold would be sprinkled throughout my special day.

Marsala: A Good Wine & This Years Most Stylish Shade

The announcement of the new Pantone Color Of The Year Marsala, thrills me to no end. Besides giving new life to my silk sectional at home, it is a rich and hot hue. Described by Pantone as "a naturally robust and earthy wine red," the hue walks the line between a rustic brown and a bold berry.

"Marsala enriches our mind, body and soul, exuding confidence and stability. Marsala is a subtly seductive shade, one that draws us into its embracing warmth."

Leatrice Eiseman

Executive Director, Pantone Color Institute

Marsala is a natural progression from last years "Radiant Orchid." A bit deeper in color but in the same color family.
