Welcome back Vanessa Piche fans and prepare yourself as we enter the month of love! Whether you’re single, in a relationship, or just trying to figure things out, you probably have a good idea of what Valentine's Day, and the week leading up to it, is all about. It’s full of teddy bears, heart shaped chocolate boxes, rushing to get the perfect gift, and most importantly, the color red. Universally, red symbolizes love and passion but what if we told you that we want to change that this year? Thats right, we’re saying goodbye to red and hello to blue.

This year’s Pantone Color of the Year 2020 is PANTONE 19-4052 Classic Blue. How they described it is that the color instills calm, confidence, and connection, the enduring blue hue highlights our desire for a dependable and stable foundation on which to build as we cross the threshold into a new era. We are all about blue and we couldn't be more satisfied with the color chosen.

So why are we replacing blue with red this holiday? Simple, we want a new wave of creativity. Everything ranging from our handcrafted paintings to our chic nautical apparel has a touch of blue. This color reminds us of the sky and sea and is said to be beneficial to both the mind and body. The color is calming and it shows in the artwork of our designs. We are even lucky enough to say that Annie Selke chose a Vanessa Piche painting to feature on her website. It is the perfect blue palette that Pantone picked for 2020!

So after reading all of this, what can you take away from it? Think outside of the box this Valentine’s Day and experiment with the color blue. You can try anything from a blue accented card to a hydrangea bouquet to a gift from one of our collections.
