The color of the year for Pantone was recently announced and some were shocked while others thought, “I get it.” I’m one of those, I get it, people because looking back over the year I have been seeing this color pop up a ton! And done very well I might add. So, I compiled a little post for you that highlights some of the subtle, adorable and even bold ways this color has been used in wedding design.
Ways to use UltraViolet at your Wedding
Naturally, I’m going to build my list in Project Block order. If you’re not yet using The Project Block System, it’s not too late! Head on over to the ECourse page and read all about it!
Subtle Details You Wear
The subtlest way to incorporate UltraViolet would be to wear it with all your Project Block Zero ingredients. These are the things that you and your wedding party wear on the big day.
- Hair Accessories
- Jewelry
- Your Garter
- Men’s Ties & Vests
- Shoes
- Bridesmaid’s Getting Ready robes
- Bridesmaid Dresses
- Flower Girl Dresses
- Flower Girl Baskets & Petals
- Your Bouquet & Boutonnieres
Creative Design Details
The next step would be to add in more decorative details throughout your guests’ entry into your wedding and as they walk to the ceremony site. These areas would include Project Blocks 1 through 3. Ways to incorporate UltraViolet include:
- Entry sign writing, printed text, signage
- Program ribbons
- Card boxes
Ceremony Details
Dressing up your Ceremony aisle and altar are beautiful and easy ways to use 
UltraViolet too. These are your Project Block 4 areas and a lot of flowers can be used!
- Aisle Runners
- Aisle Petals
- Chair Sashes down the aisle

Cocktail Hour Details
After your ceremony, the Ultra Violet color may become less subtle. Have some fun and splash that color all around the entertainment by starting with Project Block 5, your Favors and carrying it all the way through the cocktail hour to Project Block 9, the bar.
