Cayenne Dress for a Wedding

Cayenne Colored Dress for a Wedding

Is everyone looking forward to the return of spring as much as I am? Even if we can't wear light spring clothes now, at least we have the spring color forecast to tide us over and give our eyes something fun to look forward to! As you may have heard Pantone named "Cayenne" as one of the top colors for Spring 2014, and it's definitely a festive and fun choice!

What color is Cayenne exactly? To my eye, it's very close to what most people think of as coral, but with a little less pink (although it still has a dab) with slightly more red, orange, and brown undertones. I think it even has a touch of mauve thrown in. Quite honestly, I don't think anyone will be correcting you if you call it chili, coral, paprika or anything else that sounds like it looks!

I was inspired by a cayenne and sand board my friend Tamika over at Bajan Wed recently created to pair this pretty little cayenne-colored dress by Shoshanna with sandy and metallic neutrals. Since it already has a little bit of a tan print, I thought it worked well! If you haven't checked out Bajan Wed yet, you should! Tamika creates the prettiest inspiration boards, and always has the best taste in Pins on Pinterest.  Every time I visit her blog, it's like a little visit to the Caribbean without the time and expense of a plane trip! Thanks, Tamika, for the inspiration!

This little Cayenne dress would work for so many things. I can envision it on a  guest at a destination or beach wedding, or on a bridesmaid in a destination wedding, or on guests at summer wedding celebrations too!  I'd love to see more brides ask their bridesmaids to wear print. I think this is the year it might happen! ( The Bridal Detective is running a great series on print and pattern right now - don't miss it!) I can just picture this for bridesmaids of a Southwestern wedding, with boots at a country themed rustic wedding, or a Hawaiian luau wedding. It's one of those prints that is just that versatile!

So move over coral ( but just a little - I still love you!) and make room for your sister in the color spectrum - cayenne! This festive color is sure to heat up many weddings this spring, summer, and into the fall!

    What a great spring color- and it mixes so well with gold!

    Thanks for the love my dear, you are the best!!! This look is gorgeous! I would love to wear this combo for a romantic date night - those are the sort of colours that make you feel alive and full of zest!! Everything is on point but I am especially swooning over that boho-chic Tory Burch clutch, so cute!!

    I agree with you on print for the bridesmaids (second you on the series too!)- it would be really great to see more of that coming out this year because playing with prints and patterns gives you so much room for creativity.

    This color is insanely amazing, as is the entire look! Totally chic paired with gold and I just may need an entire wardrobe(and house!) dedicated to this gorge shade!

    PS - Awe, thanks so much for the shout out!! Xo
