2016 Color of the Year Weddings

Say goodbye to the earthy, rustic shades of 2015 and usher in a soft new era with Pantone's 2016 colors of the year: Rose Quartz and Serenity.

The first ever blend of hues offers exciting new ways to incorporate a variety of color palettes into your wedding day.

Florals
Take your walk down the aisle with a breathtaking bouquet sporting the cheery, yet delicate, pink of Rose Quartz. Perhaps a bundle of light-colored roses, daisies or tulips will adorn your hands, speckled with a blue lavender of Serenity in the way of jewels or ribbons.

If using Serenity as your main color choice, hydrangeas, periwinkles or agapanthus are all silky smooth choices that will bring a sense of peace over your wedding party and take away any stress.

Decorations
Soft muted colors may not be your thing, but Rose Quartz and Serenity can still work for you! Take a walk down the wild side with metallic versions of these two colors and watch your centerpieces, banners and even invitations pop with shine.

Imagine a sparkling glass vase with a gleaming Rose Quarts ribbon tied around the top and Serenity-inspired flowers inside. And if you want an extremely unique yet gorgeous centerpiece, place an actual rose quartz on each table and wow your guests!

Accessories
The perfect balance of contrast and blending of Pantone's 2016 color combination allows for a spark of creativity when it comes down to your accessories. Create an ombre effect with your bridesmaid dresses, flowing peacefully from Rose Quartz for your Maid of Honor to the relaxing blue of Serenity. Or place some color onto your own white dress, perhaps with a tulle underlay or a ribbon.

Still looking for "something blue?" Pantone has you covered with Serenity. Incorporate it by sewing your wedding date onto your dress, painting the bottoms of your heels or donning a pair of gemstone earrings.

The possibilities are endless with the combination of Rose Quartz and Serenity, so take a deep breath and fall back into the peacefulness these colors are sure to give you on your wedding day!
