Pantone color matching for weddings

Friday, February 26th, 2010

Pantone, the world authority on color, recently partnered with Dessy, a great bridal fashion house to help brides color match their wedding. I absolutely love this idea since I use the Pantone matching system to create all my printed pieces. The Pantone wedding color fan allows brides to chose from 194 Pantone colors and it’s tiny enough to keep in your purse.  You can even order swatch sheets and tear off a swatch for each of your vendors. Now your lovely wedding colors can be perfectly color matched!  I only only wish this was available when I got married!
