Well, lovely ladies, it’s the moment we’ve all been waiting for: the Pantone Color of the Year for 2014 is…drum roll, please…Radiant Orchid.

This exquisite shade can emulate decadence, royalty, and power, but also peace, tranquility, and sensitivity. No matter what style or mood you’re trying to create, purple can pack a powerful punch in your floral arrangements and bridesmaids’ gowns, or offer a subtle touch like lavender sprigs tucked into your place settings. And what better time to start thinking about this simply gorgeous hue of violet than as we’re catching that first sweet glimpse of spring?
