With a New Year comes new trends...and one of those trends is the Pantone Color of the Year. For 2015 this color is Marsala, a deep red wine or red-brown color. It is earthy, sophisticated, and almost sensual. This color is versatile and would be beautiful incorporated into Rustic, Vintage and even Formal events. Try pairing with sand or tan for a Rustic wedding, baby blue or lavender for a Vintage event or pair with other rich hues, like deep plum or burgundy for a formal affair.

Love the look of this bridal party in Marsala...Imagine hot cocoa rose petals being tossed in the air above them!

Terrific setting for a spring wedding...sprinkle Hot-N-Spicy or Crimson Bouquet rose petals around centerpiece for added depth & interest.

“Marsala enriches our mind, body and soul, exuding confidence and stability,” says Leatrice Eiseman, who is the executive director of the Pantone Color Institute. “Much like the fortified wine that gives Marsala it's name, this tasteful hue embodies the satisfying richness of a fulfilling meal, while its grounding red-brown roots emanate a sophisticated, natural earthiness. This hearty, yet stylish tone is universally appealing and translates easily to fashion, beauty, industrial design, home furnishings and interiors.”
