Yellow seems poised to take a bite out of pink for brides who want something crisper, brighter and newer.
But ... yellow? Isn't that one door down from lavender, in a land where fuzzy baby bunnies romp over crocheted lavender and tea towels?
Not necessarily. Yellow looks totally today, as long as you steer clear of the soft lenses and field daisies. Here are a few ways to keep it real.

- Color Block. Take a tip from home interiors and go for fresh-looking bouquets filled with chunky, alpine-white flowers. Then pop in a few super-bright yellows (like daffodils or parrot tulips) here and there for contrast. Don't try to blend them.
- Cozy Up. Pair yellow with other high-energy colors, like tangerine and chartreuse. Or even crisp monochromatics: try gray, or black and white.
- Time Travel. Yellow is tons of fun with a tongue-in-chic vintage theme (think, fifties cake topper kitsch.)
- Beyond Solid-arity. Defy expectations by leveraging plenty of crisp, oversized patterns like swiss dots, lattice or geometric florals.
Most of all, don't forget that a punchy yellow has the power to make the brightest-white wedding even brighter and more contemporary. And it's feminine, but not even slightly gushy. So if pink and its usual cohorts (chocolate brown, magenta, lavender, orange) have got you yawning uncontrollably, it might be time to give this primary another look.
