Pantone has released its Premier Vision report for Winter 2006/2007 at http://www.pantone.com/products/products.asp?idArticle=801&idArea=14.  Quoting from their website:

While the last few seasons have been a lavish display of color the news for Winter 2006/07 is that color is now taking on a different appearance. The color palettes seen at Premier Vision focused on the importance of using color in a more tempered manner. From a design standpoint fabric becomes a key focus for next season. While clothing shapes return in simplicity, the colors and materials used will help define the newness and interest.

For fall 2005 fashion in Europe was anything but uninformed or conventional. From a color standpoint there was a definite softening of the palettes and there was much more emphasis paid to solids, monochromes or simple multi-color application.

(we think "fall 2005" is a typo)

Styling your wedding after these reports is not for the faint of heart.  But the bride looking to be ahead of the curve in style and fashion might find this information more contemporary than the big bridal magazines.  We've seen the time lag from Pantone report and early trendsetters to mass market at about 2 years.  With that in mind, you can expect the color schemes and fabrics to be on the everyday racks for winter 2008.
