It has been a crazy couple weeks full of wedding shows for Scenemakers. We were able to fit two in this year: one at the Salt Palace, and one at the Grand America. It is such a fun experience to see the latest and greatest trends in the wedding industry and get a little networking in. The inspiration for our booth started with the 2012 Pantone color of the year, softened down from a brighter orange-y color to a glamorous peach. We had some eight foot tall canvas panels that we had painted in an even lighter shade, which we hung our signage and several pictures on. Our display was a head table with a low trough of garden roses, orchids, kale, hypericum berries, dianthus…. as well as a few bridal bouquets. For a big wow piece under our sign, we had large white calla lilies in a pond bowl with floating candles. It turned out beautifully – in my opinion!

I can say with certainty that the most popular booths at the shows were the photo booth vendors. It seems to be the trending wedding-must-have.

Pantone has announed it’s color of the year! The very vibrant ‘Tangerine Tango’ is the new it color of 2012.

“Sophisticated but at the same time dramatic and seductive, Tangerine Tango is an orange with a lot of depth to it,” said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®. “Reminiscent of the radiant shadings of a sunset, Tangerine Tango marries the vivaciousness and adrenaline rush of red with the friendliness and warmth of yellow, to form a high-visibility, magnetic hue that emanates heat and energy.”

Here at Scenemakers, we are very excited about this new color. In softer shades it is perfect for our coming 2012 weddings. It will certainly make for dramatic and energetic wedding floral and decor. It wouldn’t surprise me to see lots of bridesmaids in this stunning color.
