Be inspired by Pantone's Colour of the Year 2026 for your nuptials

Pantone, the global colour authority and provider of professional colour language standards and digital solutions for the design community, today introduced PANTONE 11-4201 Cloud Dancer, a billowy white imbued with a feeling of serenity as the Pantone Colour of the Year selection for 2026.

An ethereal white hue, PANTONE 11-4201 Cloud Dancer serves as a symbol of calming influence in a frenetic society rediscovering the value of measured consideration and quiet reflection.

At first, you'd be forgiven for thinking 'well it's a white tone, and there is a lot of white at a wedding already - so what's new?'. Many couples don't prioritise making white the focal colour, perhaps deeming it too traditional or too plain, however, modern brides have in fact been trying to push the boundaries with 'whites' in recent years, opting for an all-white look with their bridesmaids' dresses, or all-white flowers on the day - a look here at County Wedding Magazines HQ we think will continue to be upcoming, especially now! 

Perhaps the creativity with white, specifically Dream Dancer - how cute is the name by the way? - are the colour palette choices it opens up for couples on their big day!
