Pantone Color(s) of the Year for 2016

In honor of the colors being chosen and announced, I thought I’d share a little wedding color inspiration inspired by the Pantone Colors for 2016! See below for a selection of dresses (perfect for bridesmaids!) in Serenity and Rose Quartz that are all under $200. Budget savvy beautiful!

Rose Quartz

This warm, pale pink shade is going to be a beautiful shade for weddings. Whether you incorporate the hue in your bridesmaids dresses, flowers, or other decor — rose quartz is going to add a feminine, ethereal quality to your wedding theme.

Serenity

Serenity is a cool powdery blue. In some instances, I feel like it closely recognizes a periwinkle shade and has subtle tones of purple in it. This color is going to be beautiful for weddings as well! As a bridesmaids dress, or in flowers such as hydrangeas, this blue shade is going to look perfect when paired with khaki, grey or navy suits on the groomsmen.
