Viva la “Viva Magenta”
It’s official! 2023 is the year of the bright & bold “Viva Magenta!”
Pantone’s Color of the Year, Viva Magenta 18-1750, vibrates with vim and vigor. It is a shade rooted in nature descending from the red family and expressive of a new signal of strength. Viva Magenta is brave and fearless, and a pulsating color whose exuberance promotes a joyous and optimistic celebration, writing a new narrative.
This year’s Color of the Year is powerful and empowering. It is a new animated red that revels in pure joy, encouraging experimentation and self-expression without restraint, an electrifying, and a boundaryless shade that is manifesting as a stand-out statement. Pantone 18-1750 Viva Magenta welcomes anyone and everyone with the same verve for life and rebellious spirit. It is a color that is audacious, full of wit and inclusive of all.

Style Me Pretty Features a “Bella” Wedding
It was nuptial bliss for Monica & Connor on their special day, complete with an enchanting springtime palette that featured every shade of pink. Their gorgeous wedding, highlighted on Style Me Pretty, flawlessly demonstrated how to incorporate Pantone’s Color of the Year into an event’s theme and design.
Monica & Connor exchanged vows at The Willows at Ashcombe Mansion, a new local venue in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania that exceeded their expectations. Built in 1891, the Victorian mansion’s classic architecture provided a picturesque setting for their Gatsby-inspired wedding.

The silk flower wall that they chose as a backdrop for photos was “Bella,” by Nicol Floral Design, a delicate contrast to the fuschia and magenta. Bella’s soft pink components paired beautifully with the abundance of pale pink blooms in the whimsical bridal bouquets, the floral centerpieces, and the detailed arrangements that adorned the wedding.

All About “Naomi” & “Bella”
Pink has forever been a color associated with the season of spring, no doubt because of the many gorgeous pink flowers that bloom worldwide in the springtime. Roses, cherry blossoms, perennials, and peonies are some of the most famous spring blossoms, to name just a few.

The color pink is playful and nostalgic and has the power to transport people back to their childhoods. However, pink can also be viewed as a color of opposites. On the other end of the versatile pink spectrum, are bright and hot pinks such as the energetic “Viva Magenta,” often associated with romance and passion.
Bring an empowering splash of pink to your event no matter the time of year, with our nouveau “Naomi” & beloved “Bella!” Both of these beautiful Nicol Floral Design flower walls make lovely additions to springtime weddings, or any event taking place in any season with a theme that aims to inspire a spring-like atmosphere.
