Check out the entire list of Top Colors for 2016 here, but below are my six favorites from the list and inspiration on how you can use these beautiful colors for your wedding or party next year!Colors this season transport us to a happier, sunnier place where we feel free to express a wittier version of our real selves…
Rose Quartz
Blush shades are a favorite amongst brides, so naturally Rose Quartz was my favorite on the list. Rose Quartz is a dreamy shade of blush, sweet, feminine and absolutely romantic. This is the kind of color that was made for weddings! It works effortlessly for not only Spring/Summer weddings, but when blended with whites and neutral tones, perfect for Fall and Winter too!

Serenity
Serenity is my other favorite, and it’s appropriately named, because this soft color is so very serene. It’s calming and light, blending beautifully with shades both warm and bold. Serenity, is an absolutely elegant color, the kind that works effortlessly for Winter weddings. It has gray, dusty blue and lavender undertones and I just couldn’t love it more. I can see this color being used a lot in the future, not only in weddings and parties, but in interiors and fashion too!
