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.

Fresh figs have two seasons: early in June and August to October. They have a deep purple / redish color on the outside, and look stunning when cut open, with a rich coral color and beautiful texture. They pair perfectly with all types of berries and have an incredible and sophisticated taste that will compliment your sweet cake so well.

You can choose to use figs as the only star of your cake, as you can see in some minimalist fig wedding cakes below, or combine it with other fruits, flowers or greeneries.

Oh, and most importantly, we must not forget to mention that figs are believed to bring good luck and prosperity. Sounds wedding appropriate to me.

Allright, we have gathered 20+ stunning fig wedding cakes to inspire you for your wedding. Pin your faves and have fun!

This tall, fluffy, feather-like plant was last popular on the 70’s and is now making its way back to a huge number of wedding celebrations around the world.

On this post we’ll show you how to use it and give you some important advice about pampas grass availability. Keep reading.

Versatility

Although it can be associated with more of a boho or rustic style wedding, this ornamental grass is extreme versatile and it has been successfully incorporated on all types of themes, like beach, romantic, contemporary and even modern.

Not only pampas grass go well with a variety of decor styles, its natural wheat color has a neutral tone that matches every wedding color scheme.

Instant Statement

These lovely plums make a huge statement on the wedding decor, adding high, volume, texture and A LOT of drama.

You can use them as the main star of your event, creating outstanding ceremony backdrops or arches, aisle decorations, unique centerpieces, stunning ceiling installations, bouquets or you can choose to use it as a filling element, combining it with fresh flowers or greeneries and have a more soft / romantic look.

Pampas Grass Availability

Pampas grass can be used fresh or dried. Fresh stems are available around July and August in the US and dried pampas grass can be found all year round, mostly online. Etsy is a great vendor source.

It’s important to be aware that due to high demand, vendors can work with small inventory, so plan ahead. A great tip we found from reviewers online was to buy dried pampas grass in bulks little by little and store it at home (since it can last up to 3 years!). This way you can make smaller payments during the period of your wedding planning and guarantee you will have the number you want to use for your big day, plus they will make your house look fabulous!

As always, talk to your florist to see what is the best approach for your special day.

This four-tiered floral painted wedding cake is pure romance. The cake swing is suspended by ribbons and delicately embellished with blush, deep red roses and greeneries, which matches the cake painting perfectly.

2. Trends od Trends

In case you didn’t know, figs and macramés are also extremely popular on weddings right now.  Not only figs are a delicious fruit, but it also looks great on the eyes. As an extra bonus, this is an excellent way to incorporate Living Coral (a.k.a. Pantone Color of the Year) on your wedding.

3. Say YES to Drama

4. Vintage Glam

This cake display got a little more magical with these floating vintage birdcages, lots of greenery and a glamorous sparkly gold blanket.

5. Chandelier Style Hanging Wedding Cake

This rose gold chandelier style wedding cake is anything but boring.

6. Rustic Chic

This wedding cake combines rustic elements, like the wood base and the ropes, with an all white frosting cake, embellished with greens and gold elements, that also gives it an elegant look.

7. A White Affair

Just like the previous example, this wedding cake is a rustic chic mix, but the cake is the only element being featured, with lots and lots of eucalyptus foliage and white roses.

8. Boho Meets Modern

Did you know Rose Quartz is the stone of unconditional love? Which makes it more than appropriate to use it as a wedding cake topper and dessert table decoration. The geometric patterns on the three-tiered cake give it a modern look, perfectly counterbalanced by this unique boho style macrame swing suspension.

9. Elegant Romance

A romantic semi-naked cake with delicate flowers is the perfect match for this modern, all white and gold accents display.

10. Free Spirited Bohemian Dream

11. Garden Dreams

If you are having a garden wedding, take advantage of big trees with sturdy branches to hang your wedding cake. The green foliage on the ropes makes the cake swing blend in perfectly with the surroundings, allowing the cake to be the focal point.

12. Faux Floating Cake

If you love the way this new trend looks, but is way too scared to have your wedding cake hanging in the air, you can create a floating illusion with a small acrylic or glass table. And let’s talk about this massive greenery skirt? Absolute show-stopper!

Educating yourself is the key so definitely try to gauge from your partner’s existing jewelry collection what they like. This might indicate clearly if they’re more of a rose gold or yellow gold fan or perhaps you see a lot of platinum or silver plated items. Take photos and notes and then discuss with your chosen jeweler who will be happy to assist you. It’s such a precious time in one’s life that you want the moment to be perfect! If you decide not to surprise your partner, there is always the option to choose a “decoy” ring; you can then choose the main ring together which will be fun also!

The guys at Loyes Diamonds have put together this video which details everything you need to know about engagement ring trends this year. Check it out below!
