Pantone Announced It's 2014 Color -- And A Hint About My Bridesmaid Dresses

I was in New York for a week for Thanksgiving and decided it was the best time to go bridesmaid dress shopping. If we didn't go then, I'm not sure we'd ever go.

I wanted eggplant, but the dress I fell in love with didn't come in eggplant. It only came in a light purple version, which is sort of like lilac, and I'm okay with that.

I was online three days later and saw this ...

That color up top, the 2014 Pantone color of the year -- Radiant Orchid -- that's the exact color I picked for the bridesmaids dresses.

I had no idea the color was going to be so important in 2014, but now my 2014 wedding looks completely on trend. Oh, the little things.
