Flowers
If you’re looking for a way to add some extra flair, Viva Magenta is perfect for centerpieces, bouquets, and boutonnieres. Not sure where to start? Roses, dahlias, orchids, protea, calla lilies, and peonies all bloom in magenta. For a classic look, try a combination of blush pink roses paired with magenta orchids to create a stunning visual effect. To make your magenta pop, pair those flowers with pale blues, and lavenders – like periwinkle or sweat pea. For a more eye-catching arrangement, include bright purple and lively blue flowers, like lavender or blue hydrangea.
Wedding Attire
A wedding party dressed in Viva Magenta is sure to turn heads! This hue will make for a showstopping bridesmaid dress, especially against suits of grey or navy. For more subtle pops for your bridal party – or even the bride – consider adding magenta to elements like hair ribbons, shoes, or jewelry. Grooms can also add Viva Magenta to their attire too, by wearing a magenta-colored tie, pocket square, or socks.
Wedding Décor:
Viva Magenta can be used to create a lively and festive atmosphere at your wedding. You can use it as the primary or accent color for your table linens, centerpieces, floral arrangements, and even your wedding cake. Additionally, you can use this Pantone color for table decorations such as napkins or runners and chair covers – both of which will look stunning against white or light ivory linens. Remember, with a color this boundless, even just a few magenta accents to your decor can make a big impact without overwhelming your other elements.
Dessert
The sweetest things come in the colors of love! Fresh fruit like strawberries, raspberries, and even blackberries can add a bright, tangy drizzle of color to classically white cakes. Macarons and cupcakes can be a less traditional way to bring in an element of delicious color to your wedding day desserts.
