Fabulous Finds: 2016 Pantone Color of the Year

For the first time, the blending of two shades – Rose Quartz and Serenity were chosen as the 2016 Pantone Color of the Year. Joined together, Rose Quartz and Serenity demonstrate an inherent balance between a warmer embracing rose tone and the cooler tranquil blue, reflecting connection and wellness as well as a soothing sense of order and peace, according to the Pantone Color Institute.

What does this mean for brides? We have already seen a burst of blush over the past few seasons, from bridesmaid dresses, floral arrangements, and even bridal gowns. With the introduction of a dual 2016 Pantone Color of the Year, expect to see these shades combined in wedding color palettes. Mix these cool tones in your bouquets, try a colored engagement ring, or combine Rose Quartz and Serenity in your cake design.

These pastels are not confined to the baby nursery, if that is your concern. There is a wealth of possibility for these colors to emerge in your wedding design in a modern way. So, if you’re looking to add contemporary colors to your wedding design, consider using the 2016 Pantone Color of the Year, Rose Quartz and Serenity. With two hues to choose from, the possibilities are endless!
