While most people are counting down to the holidays and the start of 2015, color-obsessed ladies (guilty!) are looking to Pantone for the Color of the Year. Now that Pantone has officially declared 2015 the year of Marsala, we’ve already started updating our wardrobes and interior design plans accordingly. But the color fun doesn’t stop there — brides can get in on this trend too. We’re sharing 23 of our favorite Marsala-inspired wedding details to get those creative juices flowing.
