Lucite Green
Pantone says: "Generally not thought of as a fashion color, though it does come back from time to time, Lucite Green is a soothing green shade whose time has really come again. Fresh and clarifying, cool and refreshing, Lucite Green has a minty glow. Light in weight and also in tone, Lucite Green seems almost transparent."

Classic Blue
Pantone says: "Reliable and thoughtful, Classic Blue inspires calm, confidence and harmony. Serving as an anchor to the Spring/Summer 2015 palette, Classic Blue is a shade that is strong and reliable. Just as with the sea, because of its waterborne qualities, this Classic Blue is perceived as thoughtful and introspective.
Make it work for your wedding: Some colors are classic for a reason. This versatile blue will work just as well for a traditional wedding as it will for a quirky, modern affair.

Toasted Almond

Timeless and versatile, Toasted Almond is an organic shade that speaks to authenticity and all that is natural."
Make it work for your wedding: Pair it with metallics, creamy shades of white and ivory, and loads of touchable textures for a neutral look that's anything but boring.

Marsala
Pantone says: "Sensual and bold, delicious Marsala is a daringly inviting tone that nurtures; exuding confidence and stability while feeding the body, mind and soul. Much like the fortified wine that gives Marsala its name, this robust shade incorporates the warmth and richness of a tastefully fulfilling meal, while its grounding red-brown roots point to a sophisticated, natural earthiness."

Glacier Gray
Pantone says: "More dominant for men than women in Spring/Summer 2015, Glacier Gray is an unobtrusive gray that contrasts and enhances; bouncing off other shades without taking away from them as it slips into the background to allow other colors to take center stage."
Make it work for your wedding: We expect to see a lot of groomsmen in Glacier Gray in 2015!
