As couples become engaged this holiday season, setting a wedding date and choosing your color palette is one of the first things on a new bride’s mind.

Choosing a color palette that accents your date and the season of your wedding creates a consistent feel and tone to your wedding. While you may love deep purple or burnt orange, those colors may not provide the best color schemes for your spring or summer wedding.

Pantone , the color experts, have recently unveiled their color trends of 2011.

Bright, vibrant pops of color look to dominate in 2011 – blue curacao, honeysuckle, beeswax, silver cloud and regatta are tones we’re already seeing!

If you’re overwhelmed by all of the color choices, it’s helpful to begin thinking of what colors come to mind when you think of certain months. For example, July may invoke more of a patriotic feel or a classic navy, white and yellow. May brings to mind softer pinks and oranges to reflect all of the blooming flowers and trees.

Here at Paper Fling  we’re seeing some beautiful color palettes from our Spring and Summer brides! And as always, Envelopments , is providing great paper options to go with these color schemes. Here are a few of our favorites so far:
