2020 is here, and with that, new trends are being set in every industry. But there is one specific trend that influences everything around it: the Pantone color of the year. Pantone announces the next “it” color every December, during the Art Basel festival in Miami. Unlike 2019, when the color of the year was a very bold orange shade (Living Coral), this year Pantone’s color is a back to classics shade (as its name suggests): Pantone Classic Blue.

The Pantone Color of the Year 2020 is a “timeless and enduring blue hue, evocative of the vast and infinite evening sky”. Even thought Classic Blue is a rich shade, it is also very elegant and just as traditional to its similar navy blue shade, being the last one a little darker.

Wether you would like to use Classic Blue as a dominant or accent color, incorporating the 2020 Color of the Year on your wedding day will be far from a daunting task – still, the more inspiration the merrier, so we are here to help!

From stationery to wedding decor, scroll down to find out how to use the 2020 Color of the year, PANTONE 19-4052 Classic Blue, on your wedding.

A little bit of research can put you ahead of the game to make smart financial decisions without compromising your big day’s aesthetics.

Today, we are going to help you learn how to minimize your wedding flower costs in an easy and Pinterest-worthy way.

Whether you’re dreaming of beautiful pastel petals or cascading autumn shades, fresh florals make your wedding day come to life. The cost of fresh blooms can quickly add up, with the average couple spending anywhere from $700-$2500 on their floral budget.

You can cut down on the cost of fresh flowers by using in-bloom flowers, as florists can purchase these flowers from local farms and vendors without shipping costs and supply-and-demand negotiations.

Knowing the blooming season of your florals will help you save big. Peonies silk, fluffy petals begin to bud in the springtime, whereas chrysanthemums signify the autumn harvesting season has begun.

Zola put together this seasonal flower guide so you can identify popular wedding blooms in season each time of year. Check out our blooming guide below and inspiration for your ceremony, no matter which season you plan to say “I Do.”

Breaking it down:

1. Popular Spring Flowers: Lily, poppy, anemone, ranunculus, hydrangea, lilac, bluebell, peony, daisy, wallflower.

2. Popular Summer Flowers: Lily, zannia, spray rose, phlox, bee balm, swamp milkweed, iris, sunflower, magnolia, dahlia.

3. Popular Fall Flowers: Nerine, protea, chrysanthemum, celosia, marigold, amaranthus, blue delphinium, aster, cone flower, dianthus.

4. Popular Winter Flowers: Camellia, poinsettia, daffodil, hellebores, snow drops, tulips, star of bethlehem, violet, witch hazel, primrose.

5. Luckily, we can also count with some Year-Round Flowers: Calla lily, rose, jasmine, orchid, lisianthus, baby’s breath, scabiosa, sweet pea, dusty miller, bells of Ireland.
