The color experts at Pantone have spoken and lucky for us, we get 2 magnificent colors to play with this year!

The blending of Rose Quartz and Serenity show the relationship between a warmer rose tone and a cooler tranquil blue to create a soothing balance of romance and relaxation. As Pantone describes the color combination, “Rose Quartz is a persuasive yet gentle tone that conveys compassion and a sense of composure. Serenity is weightless and airy, like the expanse of the blue sky above us, bringing feelings of respite and relaxation even in turbulent times.”
We wanted to gather some cool and creative ways to integrate Rose Quartz and Serenity into your wedding, whether it’s your stationery, attire, floral arrangements, decor, etc… Take a look at our mood board for some inspiration.

Hola! Barcelona is such a vibrant city with an endless amount of options when it comes to the sites and activities, no matter what your lifestyle or interests may be. Beautiful beaches, amazing architecture, picturesque parks, museums for the history buffs, art galleries and let’s not forget the awesome cuisine. This June we were lucky enough to spend 4 days in Barcelona during our 12 day trip to Spain. Even though you’re in a big city, filled with tourists, you definitely get to experience the distinct Catalan culture and tradition which makes Barcelona so unique and special. As great as it was being able to check out most of the “must see” sites, it was just as fulfilling being able to just walk through all the cool little neighborhoods, each with their distinct identity. Just thinking about our time in Barcelona brings a smile to my face and anticipating our next visit because it’s really worth a repeat.

Picasso Museum in the heart of Barri Gotic

Stop in La Boqueria to sample some delicious Spanish ham and artisanal cheeses.

Arc de Triomf

Parc de la Ciutadella – Beautiful place for an afternoon stroll or a relaxing picnic

Montjuic Castle – Old military fort on top of Montjuic hill which offers amazing views of the city.

Basilica Sagrada Familia – Barcelona is the home of Antoni Gaudi, known for his intricate and unique architecture which is found throughout the city. Sagrada Familia is his masterpiece and with all the meticulous details, you can see why.

Parc Guell – A public park designed by Antoni Gaudi. Some people describe it as walking through a life sized Candyland. The Park is declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Camp Nou – Home of FC Barcelona, arguably the world’s most popular soccer club. During our visit, FC Barcelona won Europe’s most prestigious club trophy, the UEFA Champion’s League. We were lucky enough to get to experience the parade with thousands of the most passionate soccer fans you will ever see.

Montserrat – About one hour from Barcelona, the Montserrat monastery is located on a breathtaking mountain retreat and was definitely a highlight of our trip.

We would like to finally welcome you to our new site and blog. Along with our new site comes a fresh new look as well as a new name. Cynthia Ross Affairs will now be known as Cynthia Ross Events, but have no fear, although there is a slight name change it has no effect on what we’re all about.

When the idea of re-branding came about, we were worried about finding the right person for the job. We wanted someone who would bring out our personality, style and bring our love for event planning to the forefront. Through a lot of research we came across Spitfiregirl and for us it was a match made in heaven! Heidi and her amazing team (Andrea, Jessica and Joey) totally hit a home run in getting our vision across through our new site. All the time and effort it took into this next chapter of Cynthia Ross Events was so worth it! We’re extremely happy with the results and hope everyone who comes across our site enjoys it as well.

One thing to note if you’re following our blog, since we’re using a new host, the formatting may be a bit different when viewing some of our older posts. Unfortunately there’s not much we can do about it, but trust that any new posts will definitely have an enhanced look to them so it works out for the better.
