Very Peri (PANTONE 17-3938) is a soft and moody shade of bluish-purple (read: periwinkle) that evokes creativity and contemplativeness, which is seemingly a nod to our collective ability to leave behind the past few years and start 2022 with new ideas, energy, and opportunities.

Very Peri marks the first time Pantone has created a brand new color for their Color of the Year series—perhaps a hint towards a fresh start.

Since Very Peri is a blend of both blue and purple, you can play up the purple aspect in your centerpieces as long as those will be the star of the tables and you're not competing with other bold colors or patterns.

Beautiful Bouquet

The easiest place to add color to your wedding is your bouquet. Rather than going with classic colors, add hues of purply blue flowers: ocean song roses, purple lisianthus, misty blue Limonium paired with your favorite white garden roses.
