Wedding Trend: Ombre

Trends· Weddings

A new wedding and fashion trend referred to as “ombre”, has been growing in popularity over the past year. “Ombre”, which is a French term for “shaded or graduated in tone”, is a fun effect where colors blend into one another from light to dark. It can be used to showcase a range of multiple colors or shades of one color— each offering a fun effect. It’s a perfect option for a couple who wants to use lots of different colors in their wedding, in a more sophisticated way than “rainbow colors” may offer. Ombre is being used everywhere: dresses, cakes, decor, flowers, nail polish and even hairstyles. Here are some of our favorite ombre finds:
