Pantone’s 2016 Color of the Year – Rose Quartz & Serenity

It’s that time of year again…when Pantone, experts on color, announce the color the year. And this year, for the first time ever, there are two of them – both equally stunning: Rose Quartz and Serenity. Not only do these beauties stand incredibly on their own, they make a great pair for weddings and events!

Rose Quartz is a soft rosy tone that is on trend for how popular this shade is becoming in jewelry and accessories. We think everything’s coming up rosy with Rose Quartz and can’t wait to see the soft shade incorporated into an event at one of the Novare Event‘s venues! It’s a lovely shade for brides that might be considering bridesmaid dresses, or floral designs that include the shade. We find that there are many brides that love all things pink…so Rose Quartz is going to be hot on the list for accents and accessories this year.

Serenity is exactly what the name sounds like…serenity! An ethereal blue– tranquil, calm, and soothing. And don’t forget, every bride needs “something blue” so Serenity is the perfect shade to incorporate into wedding accessories (like a garter set), or even to add to the wedding cake decor.

The juxtaposition of the two colors is meant to symbolize the yin and yang of life. They stand for more than just blue and pink. The Rose Quartz according to Pantone is meant to convey “compassion and stretch”, while Serenity is “wellness, order, and peace.” Either way you can use these colors in tandem with each other to create a palette that is vibrant and beautiful for any event in your life.
