2026 is all about wedding palettes that feel fresh, elevated, and timeless—yet full of life. Leading the way are two shades that have captured the hearts of designers and couples alike: Pantone’s Cloud Dancer, a soft, airy white with romantic undertones, and Brides + Minted’s Island Citrus, a sun-kissed hue radiating warmth and joy.
Together, they create a dreamy balance of sophistication and energy, perfect for couples seeking elegance with a bold twist.

Pantone meets Brides & Minted Colours of the Year 2026
Why these colours are trending
Cloud Dancer
Think of this as the ultimate neutral—clean, versatile, and effortlessly chic. It’s the perfect canvas for florals, linens, and bridal fashion, adding a sense of calm and refinement to any setting.

Island Citrus
Bold yet approachable, this shade infuses personality and joy into your palette. It’s ideal for accents like stationery, cocktails, and pops of color in floral arrangements, creating a look that feels both modern and inviting.

Pro Tip: Pair these hues with soft greens or muted golds for a layered, organic feel that feels editorial and luxe.
How to Incorporate Them Into Your Wedding
Florals
Combine creamy roses and ranunculus with citrus-toned blooms like marigolds or orchids for a lush, modern arrangement that feels alive.

Tablescapes
Dress your tables in Cloud Dancer linens and dinnerware, accented with Island Citrus napkins or glassware for a vibrant twist that photographs beautifully.

Fashion
Think bridesmaids in soft neutrals with citrus accessories, or a bold citrus bouquet against a Cloud Dancer gown for a look that feels chic and unexpected.

Food & Drinks
Signature cocktails featuring citrus notes and plated dishes styled with fresh, colorful garnishes add a sensory layer to your celebration.
