The wedding fashion of 2026 marks the transition from strict classics to expressive individuality. Color has ceased to be a background - it has become the main tool of self-expression. As we already know, the Pantone Institute has declared the Cloud Dancer (PANTONE 11-4201) shade of the year 2026 - airy white, symbolizing calm and clarity in a noisy world.
This neutral tone sets the tone for the entire wedding industry, opening up space for experimentation with textures and accents.
