Pink Theme Weddings
Either way, for many brides, a wedding isn't the lifelong dream it should be without a hefty dose of pink.
And while the hues we pair with it might change from year to year, pink at its core ... which says young love, playfulness and fresh-faced romance ... sends the same beloved message across the ages.
Still, even pink isn't immune to the forces that, over time, make weddings ever-more personal statements of our own individual design sensibilities ... and love stories.
So while some pink weddings hark back to fairy tales from once-upon-a-time, others are practically punk-rock (you won't see yards of tulle at your typical pink and black wedding). And then there are the unexpected pinks: the ethereal pink and silver, for example, that warm up a modern winter wonderland wedding.
In fact, while pink might not exactly be the new black, it might actually be the new 'neutral' — cozying up gorgeously with all kinds of colors, creating looks that range from demure to drama queen.

Pink on Pink, or Pink on White
This bride might have pink winking out from her engagement ring in the form of pink sapphires, or even a JLo style pink diamond. The shoes might be oh-so-traditional bridal sandals, but sporting a perky bow and a tiny diamante stone — and we'll take bets that she's tracked down a pink satin garter for that leggy moment on the chair.
Her gown? All girl, possibly with elaborate lace overlays or a full ruched skirt. And the hair? We're guessing a half-up/half-down romantic tumble of locks.
Nothing's too feminine for this color scheme, so get out the pink marabou feathers for your chair backs, centerpiece vases or flower girls, go wild with the fluffiest pink poenies your florist can rustle up, wrap everything you can in romantic pink satin ribbons (bouquet stems, waists, pew cones) and don't forget some popular spins on ultra-pink: like the cherry blossom wedding. Want more of a garden look? Carry oversized bunches of bright pink tulips.

Pink and Black
This bride often leans toward bold graphic patterns (no fussy invites here!) ... and bold satin sashes. The bridesmaids' will probably be brightly attired, and you probably won't find her carrying a tight Cinderella posey of pastel roses, but something a little more fiery: hot pink cymbidium orchids, say, or a bouquet of Asiatic lilies. Pink anemones are eye-catching blooms, too, with their wild black centers.
Chances are, this bride's gown will belong to the Vera Wang school of slicked-down designs, and you might find some bright spots of color peeking out from under her gown: gorgeous bridal slingbacks in black or pink. Tabletop florals might be acid-bright clumps of chrysanthemums in a pavée design, or hydrangeas tipped to a deep and assertive hue. The perfect floor: a glossy black and white checkerboard pattern. (Note: black and pink brides might want to see The New Black & White Wedding.)
As for the cake? Black deco dots on a bright white canvas, or clean satin ribbons wrapped around the layers. And don't forget the bright pink signature drink: any take on Cosmos is bound to please.
A lovely spin on the pink and black look is a touch of toile: pink toile stationery topped with sleek black ribbons, or black toile table linens set off with hot pink satin napkins. Also, pink and black candy buffets serve up a sweet taste ... and a distinctively spunky look.

More Ultra-Popular Pink Schemes
Pink and Green —
Miami Spice. Deliciously Deco. Perfectly Preppy. Or just a natural choice for your spring or summer garden theme.
Picture your bridesmaids in mint green ruffled gowns, carrying sleek bouquets of pink and white mini callas. A snowstorm of pink petals on pale green linens: gorgeous. It's no wonder that that wonder that's pink and green is just starting to rev all the way up, with more brides finding themselves fans by the month.
Pink and Orange — Depending on where you live, pink and orange (and all its cousins, like orange and fuchsia) might be practically classic, or delightfully daring. Pink and orange says "no fuss, no frills," and it's all about whimsy, color and clean lines. Pink and orange brides have cooked up all kinds of designs, but a Gerber daisy theme's among the most popular.
Pink and Brown —
A less punky cousin of pink and black, this scheme combines two top-dog colors in today's wedding palette with gorgeous results. This is a hipster theme, calling for sassy stationery, big satin bows and grosgrain ribbons, funky polka dots or even modern paisleys.
And your flowers might be something a little left-of-center, too, like flaming pink orchids or Gerbers and bamboo. Somewhere in the process, pink and brown brides often find themselves a little torn between pink + brown or pink + aqua.

Hiya im Natasha Lewis. I have had a dream since i was a very little girl tht my wedding was going to be a Barbie and ken style wedding. Then i saw Katie Price and Peter Andera Get married and i had to have a horse and Carrige and Have a bigger standing out dress than her.So i have organised a pink wedding and its going to be on August 24th. Because my parents got married the 26th August. My sister got married on the 29 of August. My sister had a Champaigne wedding and my mother had a white and Gold wedding but mine is going to be different it is going to be pink and silver or purple and silver.
I love weddings and i have to have a big1. When i saw my Fiance for the First time i cried cos i knew he was the 1 and i was like this 4 weeks

Hi,
I am planning a Summer 2011 wedding in my backyard under a tent. I need lots of advice on how wedding tents work. I want a rich pink color them (like fuschia, hot pink) and I love hearts. Any tips on what kind of flowers I can use to achieve a classic very pink wedding.
Lin A.,
pink roses hands down. with classic ( not to mention cost cutting on florals) use 1 type flower in one shade or light and dark mixed shades of pink thruout entire wedding. for your hearts, use those as your motif from invites to rhinestone hearts bouquet picks to insert in your bouquet.

Hi! I was wondering if a brown and pink theme could be used in the winter seasons, like December - February? I know brown is more of a fall color, but I was wondering if it could work.
Thanks!
Brittany
brittany,
oh no brown can be used year round. that is what so great about it. it is like black except softer. consider using icy pink paired with rich chocolate brown.
*pink and brown wedding board
*pink and brown winter wedding
*pink and brown wedding
you could add icy accents such as crystals, lots of white, icy branches from a craft store, etc. have a theme of chocolate or chocolate and pink peppermint. yum! hot chocolate with pink mint whipped cream on top. have pink tulips ( they are in season) as the only type flowers with or without evergreens. set against white and brown napkins or chocolate linens. have a pink peppermint or pink peppermint candy canes at each place setting.

I love this wedding decor!! its sooo pretty!! i hope you can watch the video i think you will like it very much!!
my bridesmaids are in Rose Petal, and MOH in Watermelon, invitations have silver in them…… was wondering if these colors would clash. I really wanted to use different shades of pinks. I am planning on using fuschia chair sashes,will the fushia clash with the watermelon and rose petal??? my bridesmaid wanted the rosepetal rather than fuschia dress??? really want the fuschia in there though.????
shannon, yes, just make sure you use shades of pink bouquets like the examples in this post. making the bm with a little more white than the moh. then carry the more white and greenery it into your reception, with the fuschia sashes. to have a pulled together look.

i am having the hardest time finding a white wedding dress with HOT pink color to it… any suggestions?
Try the Alfred Angelo “Dream in Color” Bridal gown collection. They have beautiful white dresses that have sashes and trim that you can get in 55 different colors, including various shades of pink.
Go to http://www.alfredangelo.com and after you tell it US locations, and select Bridal, you’ll see a choice on the left for Dream in Color. Hope that helps
My dress wasnt expensive because my fiance and I have to pay for our own wedding. Try this site http://www.debshops.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3566322&cp=3371585.3365393.3369418
Hope it helps.
ebay will do it! or atleast give u some ideas if u plan to get the dress made then u can do what ever u like to it! good luck!
my wedding colors are pink and green its sort of a fruit theme any ideas on some nice cheap centerpieces???????????????
i would do simple tall vases or glass bowls of limes or apples. it looks amazing!! another idea is to cut up limes and submerge them in water. google image apple centerpiece then lime centerpiece, if you are trying to steer away from flowers i would do whole limes or apples. i prefer the limes.
I’m doing the same type of thing for my wedding. I am doing centerpieces that are square glass “vases” but they are shorter and wider than a typical vase. I’m going to fill them up with lime and grapefruit slices inside with the sliced part facing out. Then I’m putting bright and light pink roses, pink daisies and green hydrangea in the “vases” and fill them with water. Very cute! I personally prefer for the flowers to not have much stem coming out of the vases so that the bottom of the actual flowers comes right to the top of the vase. They look best full of flowers, too.
Very neat way to incorporate the traditional flowers with the more moder fruit idea.
Also I have seen where someone did a tall vase and filled it with uncut green apples and then put water in them and flowers coming out of the top.
Also, you could have vases with fruit in the bottom and filled with water and then put floating candles or water candles on top.
Another idea: I’m doing a candy bar with all types of brightly colored candy, mostly green and pink. One thing I’m going to use are the gummies that look like fruit slices. I know they make watermelon and lime (pink and green!)
You could also do a green or pink colored punch and slice limes and strawberries to float in it.
Also, I have seen where people have had candles that have what looks like fruit slices (I’m sure they’re fake fruit slices) inside the candle. I don’t know where you could get this but you can get kits to make your own gel candles and the clear gel that you make the candles with would show off the fruit.
Hope all that helped! Good luck! =)
does anyone have any pictures of a pink/chocolate/creme wedding. Bridesmaids with pink dreses.
sha,
google image pink and brown wedding board you should see some ideas. i found a pic that is beautiful!!
some pics
my colors are pink and green and im having trouble finding a wedding dress i want something white with a hint of pink but nothing tacky please help!!!
also if anyone has any pictures for tuxedos that would be nice
vanessa,
just google image tuxedo. the thing i would do is buy a dress and add a pale pink flowing sash to it and accent with elegant ice pink rhinestone jewelry or blush pink pearls. you will want to keep your look soft. but any dress store should have flowy pink sashes or if you know a skilled seamstress have her make it. ask about the best fabric that is flowy and will hold up into shape. davidsbridal.com will probably have what your looking for. google image white and pink wedding dress.
*Mikaella Bridal A-line dress with dusky pink sash (this is an idea of what i think would work the best and so diy or easy to find! plus it will be just enough pink)

My wedding colors are green and pink. The flowers are a combination of different shades of pink and green and a touch of white. The linen are apple green. My question, which color should the chair covers should be. The florist and the linen lady suggested a dark pink but I am scared of the combination. Can somebody suggest a color?
bride 30,
no to the dark pink. i would use a crisp white sash, pale pink or apple green. if the chairs are already beautiful i wouldnt add a sash. are you using chair covers? if so, what color?
My fiance and I are planning a wedding for 5 Sept. our color theme is silver and pink (the color is called rose petal). The bridesmaids dresses are the rose petal pink but i think for the reception I am going to inner mix different shades of pinks. Im stumped for ideas for ideas for the reception. Especially table set ups/center pieces. Im thinking so far silver table cloth with a smaller table cloth in the center with some type of center pieces. I want more candles than flowers i believe. But I want a mixture of both. Any ideas/pictures would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
I just went to a bridal show and they had a vase with crystal rocks in the bottom 2 closed roses minimal stems filled them with water and floating candles. It looked really nice. You could also sprinkle rose petals or pink n silver metals flecks on the tables. Big Champagne glasses or vases with pink n silver rocks in the bottom and gold fish?? Just some ideas

Hello Bride, My name is Shanell. I ‘m located in Houston. My wedding is planned for Sept 5 09. I’m a event planner and floral design. I’ve been in business for a while now. My colors are charcoal and pink. There are so many things you can do for centerpieces. Most of them are diy. Just think outside the normal. Different heights of glass vase.(find these items at your local hobby lobby or micheals) At different color pinks to your reception. Any other questions feel free to connect with me. Good Luck!
I really want to do pink and grey/silver/charcoal. The pink I want to use is more of a fuschia. Do you think that will work and how to I keep it from being too grey and dreary in the reception? Thanks.

hi Stacey,
its being so nice going through all the information you have about choosing colors for my wedding. i’m getting married early next year and i’m having a challenge choosing my color scheme. I thought of brown but my mind is really on 3 colors; green, blue and pink.I dont know if i can successful pull them off or if i have to drop one. all those colors mean so much to me. i would appreciate if i you could show me some examples.
thanks stacey
you’re so much help
kiane, love your color scheme!! you can keep them all!! i am assuming your bm will be in pink? but i personally think a deep shade of blue would be beautiful!! i would pick 2 main colors from this scheme and accent with the 3rd. i love fresh spring green as the accent. pink white and spring green bouquets would be so amazing against blue. think about choosing flowers that showcase alot of green stems. blue cake, have a signature drink in blue. blue ribbon wrapped wedding bouquet.

kiane, here is some pics of the vison i see. notice the floral background of the dress pic. this is the floral colors with lots of green( idea: use greenery and flower stems, for the green) add simple green napkins to white table cloths. trying to give you a simple elegant look that would carry anywhere. i am pulling the green color from the bm sash(which i love that detail on the blue dress) showcase a blue cake. have your bouquet wrapped in blue ribbon, and girls carry colored bouquets(use 2 shades of pink with lots of greenery, also same for colored centerpieces)unless streamlined look and cut greenery back) have a beautiful greenery arch add candlelight in ceremony. the vision here is to emphasize on the “something blue”. among pink and green cause it will just stand out if blue is used in touches. so not too much blue or it will just blend in and go unnoticed. so i would pick pink and green as main color scheme with blue accents. i hope you like it. let me know.
