Color Splash: Marsala 'Maids

The more we see marsala wedding details inspired by Pantone's Color of the Year, the more we like the color. It's really pretty and is actually quite versatile!

StarDust and LuLu's carry some gorgeous bridesmaid gowns that are available in marsala-inspired shades. With that, we present to you colorful inspiration via our some of favorite Marsala Maids, paired with lovely bouquets to show off the flexibility of the color!

Pantone Announces the Color of the Year for 2015: Marsala

Pantone has announced Marsala as it's Color of the Year for 2015! Marsala, a rich, deep brownish red color, is gorgeous as a main color of your wedding palette or as a pop of color to accent your scheme. Pantone describes it's selection like this: "A naturally robust and earthy wine red, Marsala enriches our minds, bodies and souls." We love this jewel tone and look forward to seeing brides use the hue in their wedding design! Here is a bit of inspiration to get you thinking about this gorgeous color!
