Since emerald was announced as Pantone’s 2013 color of the year, we’ve been totally obsessed with the jewel tone’s lighter counterpart, mint green, as a wedding color. It’s like a fresh neutral that can be dressed up or down depending on the formality of your wedding. Either way the hue adds a soft dreaminess that we can’t resist!
