February is the month of love… and for this reason SJinc decided to deviate from the pantone color of the month (which is Burnished Lilac, we will definately honor our tradition and post later during the month an inspirational video on that)
The colour of strength, health, and vitality. Red can also be symbolic of an increased enthusiasm or interest, confidence to pursue your dreams, and can symbolise power and passion. A deep Red, is commonly used in wedding reception venues for this reason and is often the color chosen by someone outgoing, vigorous and impulsive. People who love red are also often optimistic and open-natured.
Red- orange: Desire, sexual passion, pleasure, and a thirst for action.
Dark red: Longing, courage, willpower, vigour.
Light red: Love, sexuality, joy, passion, sensitivity
While most couples lean on themes, such as “modern” or “bohemian” for the overarching concept of their nuptials, you can also turn to a splashy hue for the focal point of your celebration. A red-themed wedding is a daring yet romantic option for couples looking to make a colorful statement at their soirée.
Since the color red symbolizes joy, passion, love, and energy, the color is a natural fit for an event that commemorates a couple's love story. From rust to maroon, painting your big day in red tones is a versatile choice for any type of affair, especially rustic, romantic, or bohemian aesthetics.

Planner Allison Jackson explains that a claret red works well for a winter formal function, while a cherry red beautifully complements an outdoor summer bash. If you’re throwing down in the fall, you can use a red wedding theme to channel the vibrant shades of the color that burst from the trees during peak foliage. Since Christmas, Valentine’s Day, and the Fourth of July all feature the punchy hue in

Meet the 2025 Pantone Colour of the Year: Mocha Mousse
Brides and grooms, Pantone has just announced the official 2025 Colour of the Year, and it’s looking like a fantastic base shade for your in-the-works destination wedding motif.
Meet the delectable PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse, a warm, suede brown selected by the Pantone Color Institute as the singular hue currently representing the global mood.
“Underpinned by our desire for every day pleasures, PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse expresses a level of thoughtful indulgence,” says Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director Pantone Color Institute.
“Sophisticated and lush, yet at the same time an unpretentious classic, PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse extends our perceptions of the browns from being humble and grounded to embrace aspirational and luxe.”
'Mocha Mousse' and what it evokes for weddings
Weddings are often discussed on binary terms. Are you looking at a grand wedding, or a simple and intimate affair? Will your styling be a gilded fairytale extravaganza, or a rustic get-together warmed with handmade details?
Mocha Mousse sits somewhere in the middle. For those who aim for “quiet luxury” yet find themselves endlessly charmed by the boho-chic sensibility, Mocha Mousse should be an easy feature in your wedding.
It’s striking enough to elicit the glamour of bronze, yet remains earthy, cozy, and unassuming. You can effortlessly sneak it into your wedding by way of tablescaping ornaments, linens, flowers, or other elements, and you’ll find that it’ll make a world of difference, yet won’t register as an over-the-top colour.
It’s a grounding, foundational shade that isn’t as neutral as white or grey, but is subtle enough to make its home alongside other bolder hues or more opulent details.
Although wedding enthusiasts worldwide will always sing praises for the traditional bridal white, alluring alternatives including blush, beige, and nude are more than welcome. As Mocha Mousse is a clo

While white seems to have always been the traditional color of weddings, that is not actually true
Women who were not of aristocracy wore the best dress they had. The elites threw more opulent celebrations, embracing trends and showing off their wealth with the fashions of the time.
Philippa of England, who would also become the Queen of Norway, Denmark, and Sweden, was the first bride on written record to have worn white. As a woman marrying a man of lower title, she wore a modest gown, opposite her elaborate coronation dress, and a crown of flowers instead of jewels. Doing this was to make her future husband feel more comfortable about the power imbalance.
England's Queen Victoria and her daughters cemented the white dress into tradition during the Industrial Revolution. New technology led to a new and growing middle class. Women often sought ways to display wealth and imitate the queen's royal rituals.
Queen Victoria wanted her wedding to be less inaccessible and lavish, so she wore a gown that could be replicated–to some extent–by the common people. She asked the same of her daughters, and because this was when photography was becoming prevalent, their photos were widely spread and heavily influential. By World War II, this practice had become a tradition.

Orange isn't your typical wedding color—and if it does appear, it's usually reserved for bouquets and other floral elements. But the bold hue, which became popular in the 70s, is making a major comeback. Orange is often described as the color of creativity and joy, which proves that this shade is a very wedding-appropriate option. Beyond its symbolism, orange is also a color that is surprisingly complementary to many different wedding themes and venues.

May's color, Bud Green (or Pantone 15-6442), couldn't be more fitting for the month, and the sign of Taurus (and its ruling planet, Venus). Taurus is sensual, abundant, and powerful when it comes to manifesting, and that's what this green shade is all about. It's a great color for healing, for money and/or budgeting, and, Bernhardt notes, for bringing your ideas into the physical realm (aka manifesting).
Drool worthy Bud Green ideas in this video!

Nothing is so beautiful as Spring –
When weeds, in wheels, shoot long and lovely and lush;
Thrush’s eggs look little low heavens, and thrush
Through the echoing timber does so rinse and wring
The ear, it strikes like lightnings to hear him sing;
The glassy peartree leaves and blooms, they brush
The descending blue; that blue is all in a rush
With richness; the racing lambs too have fair their fling.
- Gerard Manley Hopkins
