2016 Color of the Year: Rose Quartz and Serenity (2 of 2 Parts)


Cool greetings to everyone!

Here is the second part of our 2016 Color of the Year article. In the previous post, we talked about rose quartz - a mineral with a pale pink to red rose hue with a subtle tone that conveys compassion and a sense of composure. Now, we will talk about its partner for color of the year - serenity. 

It is impossible not to take into a liking for any shade of blue. And serenity is not one to dismiss. Pantone Color Institute Executive Director, Leatrice Eiseman describes Serenity as a weightless and airy color that can be likened to the blue sky. Its calming effect provides comfort and a feeling for respite even in turbulent times. Serenity provides a innate connection to nature with its transcendent blue hue. The calming blue color of Serenity works well on its own but it can also be paired with other colors such as buttercup yellow, snorkel blue, peach echo and of course rose quartz. 

Here are some awesome wedding details in Serenity:

The use of cool fonts, calligraphy or a great penmanship adds a touch of creativity to any wedding invitation

Rock a wedding dress in blue hue to take care of your "Something Blue"

If the shoe fits, it definitely will go well under a white wedding dress.

The dashing groom in blue suit.

Go for linens that create a calming atmosphere at the wedding reception.


 Add some drama with runners draped over the couple's table.

Opt for clean and simple table setting.

For a big wedding reception, you can go for  for a multi-tiered wedding cake which you can share with your guests.

Or you can go with cupcakes for guests to enjoy or take home after the party.

Serve up a blue champagne cocktail with two parts Hpnotiq and two parts champagne to add some pizzazz to the occasion.


Lots of Love,

2016 Color of the Year: Rose Quartz and Serenity (1 of 2 Parts)


Happy Holidays, everyone! We look forward to what is head of us as we usher another exciting and fun-filled year for weddings and special occasions. Pantone, the authority on color trends, has recently released the color that will rule over fashion, decor and designs for 2016. It will all be about rose quartz and serenity. This is the very first time that Pantone has identified two colors for its annual announcement. Leatrice Eiseman, the Executive Director of Pantone Color Institute, describes the combination as " 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. "

This year's choice is a welcome development challenging the traditional perceptions of color association as it transcend cultural and gender norms. For this article, we are featuring wedding elements using these two colors separately and combined.

Rose quartz provides a respite from busy and strong visual elements of day to day living. It is a great choice for summer and spring weddings.
