Finding out Pantone’s Color of the Year is basically as fun as opening a gift. When you found out there were not one, but TWO colors for 2016, it was like Christmas morning and Halloween happened all on one day… AKA a whole lot of excitement. Rose Quartz and Serenity are two of the most beautiful hues, so it’s only fitting that you throw a Pantone party in their honor. Check these 10 ways to incorporate these beautiful pink and blue shades into your next get-together.
Pink Cocktail With Blueberries
The easiest (and best!) way to kick off your pink and blue party is with a cocktail. Make your favorite pink drink and pop a few blueberries in to tie in the Serenity hue. Top it off with a striped paper straw to really amp it up. (via Melissa Biador Photography / The Every Last Detail)
