Emerald Green: 2013 Color Of The Year - The Ultimate Wedding Guide

Pantone recently crowned Emerald as its 2013 Color of the Year. We think it’s a brilliant choice. From  show-stopping emerald wedding dresses to chevron patterned napkins we promise you’d never want to take off, we have enough inspiration to leave you green with envy today. Enjoy!
Why is this important for weddings?
Emerald represents much of what weddings do. According to Pantone, the color is energizing, positive, luxurious, radiant, harmonious, striking, luminous, and sophisticated, among other things.
Well, expect to see a lot of green inspiration all over the wedding blogs and magazines. Over the past several years, green has grown in popularity and acceptance among brides and designers alike. A provocative attention-getter, Emerald Green is especially appealing in fashion and accessories.
If you’re an uber-trendy Bride, you can’t fail to feature Emerald Green on your nuptials. Invitations, bridesmaid dresses and shoes on this shade would be easy to find this year. (image source)

How to incorporate Emerald Green into your wedding?
ON YOUR LOOK
1. Shoes. For a fashion statement choose some fabulous heels like these Louboutins, and for a conservative look opt for an emerald brooch clip in a classic ivory pair.  
2. Engagement Ring + Wedding Band. Bring emerald to your rings and you'll never forget that 2013 is the year that you got married. Rings by EraGem
