By Tania Hossain of Wedding Stories by Tania As usual, the Pantone Color Institute has a knack for feeling the mood all around us and announces the perfect color for us to embrace each year. We have two gorgeous colors for 2021 – Illuminating & Ultimate Gray. PANTONE 13-0647 is known as “Illuminating,” for its bright yellow hue that has the highest visibility emoting hope and brightness.

Jenny & Victor ran with Illuminating for their October wedding at The Atrium at Meadowlark in 2020. Their wedding was a ray of sunshine for their family, friends, and …

Photos captured by Summer Brooke Photography Submitted by Tier & Co.

Photos and story by Quamina Image Ghartey of Events By Lady J, and Floral Designer, Patricia Sterling of Sincerely PS Events and Design, along with a talented team of industry partners. The combination of fall scenery with beautiful details of bold and vibrant colors added a touch of sophistication to the shoot. We fell in love with a beautiful bold orange chair and built the theme of the shoot around it. We combined bold color palettes of orange, dusty blue, light blue, gray, and accented it with gold.

We played with autumn colors in the flowers, invitations, menu cards, and custom macaroons to emphasize the look. To add to the shoot we incorporated a whiskey and cigar …
Photos by Tracy Townsend Photography Story by The Event Company Lyndsey & Landon are Bethune-Cookman University college sweethearts.

This included a full video production livestream from Omarvelous Productions through Facebook …
