PANTONE, a longtime leader in color trends, just named Cloud Dancer—a milky, luminous white—the color of 2026, possibly setting the tone for a year of calm and brightness ahead.
According to Laurie Pressman, Vice-President at the Pantone Color Institute, Cloud Dancer, "is an airy white hue that exemplifies our search for balance between our digital future and our primal need for human connection," claiming the hue "opens the door to increased imagination and innovation."
What do you think? Are you in for this resurgence of the clean girl era, or are you sticking to maximalist vivid tones?

Congratulations to the couples who are marrying today.

“There is nothing nobler or more admirable than when
two people who see eye to eye
keep house as man and wife,
Confounding their enemies
And delighting their friends.”
Homer

“I would like to have engraved inside every wedding band: be kind to one another.” Randolph Ray

Almost all brides wear a wedding ring. In the early days, they had two purposes. Then, brides were bought by their husbands and the ring was accepted as partial payment, which symbolized a groom’s honourable intentions. It wasn’t until medieval Italy when rings started to include diamonds. A diamond’s hardness was considered symbolic of enduring love.

For comfort and safekeeping, make certain you get the correct fit. Day in, day out, year after year, no other piece of apparel can compete with the hours that you will wear your wedding ring.

Wedding Tip of the Day,
Be sure to make of list of all the people that you want your photographer to capture shots of. If it isn't written down, the chances of missing someone are increased. Once the day is over, you can't go back and have a redo.

“Romance is the icing but love is the cake.” -Unknown
In ancient Rome, the cake was broken over the bride’s head after the wedding. The guests then gathered up the crumbs, as good luck tokens for long life and many children. (We don’t know what the bride did!)

Give red and white roses to your fiancé on your wedding eve (happy love and unity)
Meet your inlaws for the first time with heather, (admiration) daffodils, (regard, not love), or bouquets of morning glories. (affection)
For your bridal shower, choose centrepieces of acacia (friendship) and yellow lily (gaiety)
For the groom at the wedding, have his friends give him a sprig of ivy (fidelity)
Decorate the church, chapel, or garden with lilies (purity of heart), ivy (fidelity).
