Cabernet Colored Dress

I’m finally back from an extended break over the holidays and getting excited to meet the new brides-to-be and grooms-to-be who joined our ranks over the engagement season! As a result, it’s time to start looking at the styles that will shape this year’s weddings and beyond! As you may have heard, the color Marsala was named the color of the year by Pantone. Therefore, if past years are any indication, this means wedding fashion and decor will certainly be influenced by this shade.

Marsala Wine Bridesmaid Dresses

Marsala is a reddish brown wine color, with a little more brown than blue or purple which subtly differentiates it from the range of Burgundy. Because of the brown, I like to play up the pinky tones of this shade. In this outfit idea, I’ve paired it with a blush mauve. I have to admit, seeing this color combination in those earrings inspired the look, and I’m happy with the results! Pair this with rose gold, blush, mauve, and neutral taupes for a a romantic look for fall and winter weddings.
