Do you want not just a luxurious wedding, but ultra fashionable? Then we have something to tell you! The Pantone Institute has announced the main color decision of 2018 Ultra Violet – ultraviolet! The color is extraordinary, bright, bold, and today we’ll show you some ways to bring out this stunning shade of purple in your wedding!


When you first open a palette of shades of ultraviolet, you may be confused — is it too flashy for such a celebration as a wedding? Come along with Chanfashion Let’s unlock the potential of the most fashionable color in 2018. Ultraviolet is not only neon lamps and outfits of the Queen of Great Britain. We remembered space, rock crystals and geodesies, and isn’t this a space for inspiration?


In harmony with other colors
We’ve rounded up a few colors that pair well with purple, and you can use these ideas for your wedding!
Powdery, pink, lavender, beige & gold
Who doesn’t love the tandem shades of pink and purple?! A real harmony of romance and grace. It must be admitted that this combination is the most sought after and popular among brides and florists. And you know, it really looks like Disney magic!


Remember that the main color of the wedding does not have to dominate every detail, it is enough to make ultraviolet accents. Unless you’re really crazy about choosing Pantone!
Plum, purple, yellow and light gray
Most people would never think of combining yellow with ultraviolet! But if you delve into the palette, you will realize that these two actually complement each other! And they even look brighter side by side. That is why we advise not to fill everything around with such a couple, but leave them the right to bright, attention-grabbing accents against a light gray background.


Blue, light blue, mauve, magenta and teal
Blue and purple pair well as both are on the cooler spectrum of the color wheel. You can use both lighter and darker shades of these colors to complement and highlight your décor, flowers, and other elements. Just imagine what a starry night theme or winter wonderland can be realized in such a palette!


Purple, magenta, grey, light beige
Purple is said to be the color of choice of royalty, and considering such a complex color combination, it’s hard to disagree. Deeper shades of purple can be stunning accents against classic wedding colors. Here are just a few brides dared to experiment. Do you have the courage?

Because the color is so commanding and vibrant, you don’t have to use it literally in outfits to bring out the wedding color scheme. A luxurious bridal bouquet in purple tones will be enough! Offer your loved one an ultraviolet tie and a boutonniere that matches your bouquet.
A stylist-make-up artist will help to complete the picture, using purple and lilac shadows in your wedding makeup. And, of course, you should not refuse accessories that can emphasize not only the main color of your holiday, but also the style: boho, vintage or shabby chic, for example.


But who can reveal the color of the wedding ultraviolet in the full palette is your friends! Moreover, it is no longer fashionable to dress bridesmaids in the same dresses. And this is a great way to bring to life another fashionable wedding trend — a gradient. Give the girls a whole palette of shades from lilac to ultraviolet, and your wedding ceremony will sparkle with colors!

“Ultra Violet is a provocative and aggressive color that symbolizes the rapid pace of development of the modern world,” says the Panton website. Planning your wedding is the most beautiful glimpse into the future, isn’t it? That is why ultraviolet can and should be adopted!
But if a deep purple hue doesn’t inspire you, don’t hesitate to use its many shades!
Over the past few years, in decorating a wedding banquet and outdoor ceremony, there has been a tendency to fill the space with greenery, flowers, natural materials, leaving design elements a secondary role. Last year 2017, when the shade “Green” became the main color, rooted this fashion even more firmly.
Therefore, in 2018 we propose to continue in the same spirit, to decorate banquet tables with flower arrangements: orchids, anemones, violets, lilacs, hydrangeas and irises — bright representatives of ultraviolet in nature!
Again, we remind you that ultraviolet has many shades, such as lavender, lilac, plum, indigo, and purple. And all of them are distinguished by elegance and each claim a place of honor in the color scheme of your wedding.
What can serve as a bright accent in a wedding decor:
- Seating plan for guests and table numbers
- Tablecloths, napkins
- Balloons
- UV lighting

Let them, these messages with wonderful news, be the first bright accent of the upcoming celebration. Pay attention to every little thing: text, envelopes and, of course, directly postcards.
We have revealed for you the main color of 2018 in all its diversity, Ultraviolet — bold and bold at first glance, stylish and sophisticated in combination with other colors. Chanfashion wishes you, inspired by our article, to create your own unique holiday!
