Ah, pink. Some say a woman's life-long love for pink is biological. Others say it's nothing more than sweet free will.
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 often loves the classic take on love, with plenty of pale pink
rose petals to blanket the aisle. Bridesmaids' attire will probably be on soft side, with lovely sparkling brooches.
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.

Does anyone know where I can find cute favor boxes maybe with pink and black polka dots or pink and silver… anything like that would be great. My color scheme is hot pink/fuschia, black and silver.

Khristene,
Gray is one of my favorite colors! And, with it being so up-and-coming I suspect pink and gray will be huge over the next few years (but you did it first)
I love the urban feel of gray, it’s so city, almost Scandinavian, and so delicate and dreamy when you pair it with pale pinks. When you add in the ruffled organza and peonies, the lace overlays and vintage stationery scrolls, you have a look that is very Degas, a look that is hard to pull off with weddings but seems pretty effortless with this palette.
Here are a few inspiration boards that really go to town on pink & gray, if you haven’t seen these already they should make for great browsing!
These boards are by In This Instance, Minted, Elizabeth Anne Designs (click links to see full boards)
I think peach and green are natural choices for adding little pops and accents to this palette.
May 11th, 2008 at 5:35 am
Is gray and pink a perfect combination? I would love to have it as my theme n my wedding.
April 28th, 2008 at 7:27 am

April 20th, 2008 at 11:37 pm
Desiree, I think that you should just let the green play as a background\accent color and keep the green with the whole garden theme like with the bridemaids bouquets, floral arrangements,and boutineers,and any ribbon accents you may have and keep your bridal party dressed in your 2 main colors the pink and brown.
April 20th, 2008 at 10:29 pm
I’m planning a garden themed wedding for September 2008. Time is short and I’m starting to think that my original color scheme may be too much. I am going with pale (not pastel) pink and chocolate brown with a hint of green (sage). I have tons of ribbon and Save the dates have been sent out with those colors. Dresses are pink with chocolate brown sashes. I can’t figure out how to work in the green with the tuxedos that will make it work with the dresses. I was thinking of green vests and ties for the tuxedos and the bridesmaids will carry bouquets with lots of green in them…would that work? Or should i eliminate the green with the dresses and tuxedos and just let the ‘garden’ play the green role?
April 18th, 2008 at 10:01 pm
I actually have seen that cake & have it in my file as one of my options! I have so many cakes, just nothing else.
April 18th, 2008 at 9:09 pm
Dana, I found this cake, not sure if you like it but it was cute.
April 18th, 2008 at 3:35 pm
Dana … in my mind that cake belongs to the class of “birthday cakes that are so sophisticated and $$$ that they’re indistinguishable from wedding cakes.”
Any, zebra is HOT right now, and that cake is just cool. of course I already had a soft spot for that chunky fondant/geometric/new boho type of cake!!
April 18th, 2008 at 3:26 pm
A few more. Lucia, you said you were thinking polka dots or patterns, so I grabbed a few. The top row was originally green/brown or pink/green … which looked a bit odd, so I gave it that dorky pink screen.
Row 1: Polka dot seating cards and favor boxes, Brides. Polka-dotted bridesmaid gowns and graphical cake, Beth & Kenny in San Francisco, TheKnot. Row 2: Children’s Museum Gala, BBJ Linens. Awesome "Paris Birdcage" favor tags, Digital Paperie@Etsy. And finally, two really cool pink/black inspiration boards I came across after almost giving up hope by Snippet & Ink: the first one, pale blush pink and black (very Parisian); the second, Punk Rock love. These are great.

‘Kay, we have a lot of pink & black brides here! I was going to try to point out some great inspiration boards, but I didn’t really find many in pink & black that flipped my skirt.

April 14th, 2008 at 1:50 pm
April 11th, 2008 at 2:47 pm
Hi Lucia some great different ideas aside from having a candy bar would be to do a dessert station just have a table set up with cute finger friendly desserts such as mini cupcakes ,cookies,bite size brownies, mini cheesecakes to name a few, or rent a cotton candy machine and do pink cotton candy for the guest ,or do a chocolate fondue fountain with trays of fruit and marshmellows for dipping .
April 11th, 2008 at 1:40 pm
Christian,
That sounds pretty. I am trying to do something different but it seems like what I’m doing is also being done by some other brides who have gotten married in the past few months. I also wanted to do a candy bar but my friend just did one so I really don’t want to take her idea. I need something else to spice up my reception. I need ideas for centerpieces! I’m running low.
April 11th, 2008 at 7:34 am
Hello Lucia,
My reception will be set up with round tables with white tablecloths and fuchsia table toppers on top of the white tableclothes. I am having floral arrangements in the center that are in short vases. The vases are sitting on mirrors. Either roses will be sprinkled around the base of the vase or tea light candles. I am going to have menu cards at each place setting. The wedding party table will have a white table cloth with a fuchsia runner down the middle.
April 10th, 2008 at 5:44 pm
Christian,
First off sorry for posting that last comment so many times it kept giving me an error message.
When is your wedding? How are you setting up your reception area do you know yet? I’ve had a hard time finding ideas online so if anyone finds any that they could share that would be great. Thank you.
April 10th, 2008 at 1:54 pm
Hi Lucia I think your bouquet is going to be very nice and vibrant in color and to help you out I like the idea of your bridesmaids in fushia with hints of black and your maid of honors in full on black it would also look nice to have your bridesmaids in just fushia and your maids of honors in black with fushia or fushia with black but my favorite would be to have your bridesmaids in fushia and maids of honor in fushia with accents of black so that way they all look elegant and well coordinated but the black accents will set the maids of honors apart .
April 10th, 2008 at 1:29 pm
Angie,
One of our centerpieces is almost like your heart bowl but instead it’s the garden bowl with tea lights and a hot pink daisy to throw it off. We are using black tablecloths with fuchsia runners and ½ fuchsia tablecloths with black runners. We are also having black chair covers with pink bows.
The BM bouquets are calla lilies with
April 10th, 2008 at 1:24 pm
You have a pretty bouquet. I think that orange will make the bouquet “Pop.” My bridesmaids are wearing fuchsia dresses with fuchsia and orange bouquets. I am using tiger and calla lilies with some fillers in it. Silver is my accent color, but I haven’t used it too much either. I had thought about adding silver maybe to my favors or something like that. I had thought about doing black dresses for the bridesmaids, but I wanted to have a lot of color so I decide to have them in fuchsia instead of black. The groomsmen will be in black tuxedos with fuchsia vests and ties underneath. My husband to be is in a black tuxedo with all white underneath.
April 10th, 2008 at 1:03 pm
Christian,
I really liked the idea about having orange in the bouquet. I’m just a very visual person so I need to see it. I forgot to mention that I am using silver as an accent color. The BMs are wearing fuschia and the 2 MOHs are wearing black. I was thinking of having the bm wear fuschia with black dress but I’m not too sure. What do you think?
April 10th, 2008 at 12:59 pm
Christian, I really like the idea about orange in the bouquet. I’m not too fond of roses so I’m using lillies and some fillers. My bouquet is going to be the same as the photo except in pinks most likely hot bright pinks. I forgot to mention that I am using silver as an accent color. I just haven’t managed to use it very much. The bm’s are going to wear fuschia and the MOH (I have 2) will be wearing Black.
April 10th, 2008 at 12:51 pm
Christian,
I did forget to mention that I am using silver as the accent color but I haven’t really used it much in very many things. My bridesmaids are wearing fuschia with black (the black is ify still…) the MOH’s (I have 2) are wearing black with fuschia or maybe just black… I really like the idea about putting orange in my bouquet. I’m just a visual person so I need to see it. Here’s a picture of what my bouquet is going to look like except in a brighter/hot pink. What do you think?
April 10th, 2008 at 9:36 am
Lucia,
I’m having fuschia and black also. We are adding white as an accent color. Our guest tables are black silk with fuschia rose petals all over them and then we have heart shaped glass bowls with heart shaped floating candles. Then our cake, food, gift, and wedding party tables are white with black and pink rose petals.
The BM bouquets are a light pink and dark pink. Then mine is dark pink, light pink, and white. (Daisies)
April 10th, 2008 at 7:29 am
Lucia,
You could add some orange flowers in your floral bouquets, or you could accent you wedding and reception with silver to make it more elegant. Are your bridesmaid dresses fuchsia or black?
April 9th, 2008 at 11:32 pm
I’m having my wedding in three months and my colors are black and fuschia. I don’t want it to be all just fuschia and black what can I do to make it look a little nicer and elegant?
April 7th, 2008 at 12:02 pm
Ashley,
My first choice for my wedding was pink and chocolate. My fiance’ said that chocolate was a no go for him. I am currently having fuchsia and orange as my colors. Fuchsia is my main color with fuchsia and orange flowers. The bridesmaids are wearing fuchsia dresses with fuchsia and orange bouquets. The guys are wearing black tuxedos with fuchsia ties and vests underneath. I just ordered my invitations and they are so cute to me. Either way you do it, it will be very pretty. Pink and green is also a good combination. Hot pink is a popular color this year too. I don’t think you can go wrong with pink and any combination.
April 7th, 2008 at 11:47 am
I need help! My wedding is August 23rd and I’m unsure of my wedding colors. At first I wanted sage or celedon green and pink, but now I’m thinking of chocolate & pink or fuchsia & orange. Any suggestions?

I have decided to have fuchsia pink as my wedding color with the bridesmaids in fuchsia dresses and the groomsmen in black tuxedos with fuchsia vests and ties underneath. My flowers are fuchsia and orange calla and tiger lillies. Do yall think that all of this will be pretty? What color should the groomsmen’s boutonierres be? I want to use calla lily flowers, but all I can find are white calla lillies (I am not using real flowers). Will white calla lillies be ok for the groomsmen? Thank you for all of your opinions and advice.
March 14th, 2008 at 6:48 am
im havin HOT PINK 4 my wedding and i cant find that color in the disposable cameras, they are all baby pink, can anyone help!!!!
March 10th, 2008 at 6:45 pm
Kiki, i am doing pool blue for my wedding and i found that blue/purple hydrageas look WONDERFUL!!!
March 7th, 2008 at 2:07 pm
Thanks Tabitha & Christian for all your help!…
March 6th, 2008 at 11:34 am
Kiki, I agree with Tabitha. I think that light pink bouquets would look nice with the pool blue, but the fuchsia may be too much. My color is fuchsia with fuchsia bridemaids dresses and fuchsia and orange bridesmaids bouquets. Fuchsia is a pretty color, but it is a little too bold to go with pool blue. Pool Blue and a lighter pink would be very pretty. Good Luck on the planning. I know it can get nerve-wracking.
March 6th, 2008 at 10:17 am
Hi Ki Ki I agree with you that the color combo is way too much and doesnt really match well together a great idea would be to have your bridal party in Pool blue and ivory and your wedding flowers in Pale pink and ivory if you have your bridesmaids in pool blue dresses with their bouquets maid up of pink and ivory roses that would look nice and if you just prefer to have fushia use it as a accent color like with the ribbon around the bouquets or a mix of pale pink and fushia ,and ivory roses for bouquets and centerpieces but I would leave out the fushia and go with a lighter shade of pink or even a darker pink like tea rose pink just not bright bold fushiaso that way you can still incorporate your favorite color along with his hope this helps let me know what you think?
March 6th, 2008 at 1:59 am
Hey Ladies!!!… So im having a little problem, My fiance and I chose Pool Blue, Fuchsia Pink, And Ivory as our wedding colors(because he LOVES blue in every shade, Pink is my favorite color and Ivory is our attire colors) The only thing is, Im really not feeling this color combo… Can anyone help me out or give me an opinion on what could make this situation better. PLEASE & THANK YOU!
March 2nd, 2008 at 9:12 pm
Lindsey — I have a ton of pink & brown photos I haven’t organized yet (my bad!) … in the meantime, here are a few really nice ones!
Whether to put the girls in pink or brown is entirely up to you; it’s a very different look either way. Many brides choose the complementing sash (brown sash with pink dress & vice versa).
March 2nd, 2008 at 12:40 am
HI, does anyone have any suggestions about a pink and brown wedding. I don’t know what to do. Should I have my girls wear pink with brown or brown with pink. If anyone has pictures of a pink and brown wedding that would be lovely. I would love to see them. Open to suggestions. HELP!
February 29th, 2008 at 10:16 am
Hi Kiki, check out these posts on this exact topic, they will help a LOT!
February 29th, 2008 at 9:17 am
Hi Ki Ki colors that are close to Tiffany Blue are Pool blue from Davids Bridal and Alfred Angelo bridesmaid website Aqua,Robins Egg and maybe even Turquoise or Teal blue can match up to Tiffanys blue.
February 28th, 2008 at 10:42 pm
Hi!
Can anybody tell me what the closest shade to “Tiffany Blue” is? I’m hearing that Aqua and Robin’s Egg blue are the closest, But are there any others? Please help! Im open. THANKS!!!
February 27th, 2008 at 11:21 pm
Andrea,
I am getting married May of 09 and I am doing a Marie Antoinette inspired wedding.(Think the Kirsten Dunst movie.) My colors are going to be mainly fushia, light pink, and Robins egg blue with small hints of mint, lavender and gold. It sounds like an aweful lot, but used in moderation I think these colors are going to be fabulous. These are a couple of inspiration pictures for these colors.
February 26th, 2008 at 9:09 pm
Hello!…. Im looking for a LIST of colors that go well with Fuschia pink!.. It seems like all suggestions are the same, everyone is picking Orange, Brown, Black, Green… But I always shy away from those colors
I dont wanna sound extra picky or ungrateful, But at the same time, I need to choose colors that are bright, summery and sure to stand out! I know all the brides can relate to this feeling ( its our wedding day and we just want it to be as BEAUTIFUL as possible 
) Anyways,
My wedding day is July 19th, 08 and its outdoors and early morning… Im still open to all suggestions! Please help with any colors you can think of.. Thanks!
February 6th, 2008 at 6:02 pm
Hi Gina — this should be fun! Some decor ideas …
Set up a small drink station with pink champagne, cosmos in martini glasses with pink sugar rims, or beautifully bottled French lemonade (Lorina or Le Village, available at any upscale grocery store).
Tuck a few pink blooms with lots of mass (peonies, hydrangea) in silver mint julep cups. Surround with some rose petals (again, cheaply had at some grocery stores/flower shops). OR, make a line down the middle of your table with single pink or coral gerbers in a row of tiny glass cylinders.
Use pink boa trim, which was MADE for bridal showers! If you can get elastic, even easier. Wrap pink marabou trim around pillar candles, votives, stems of champagne glasses, small square flower vases wrapped in raw silk or interesting graphic papers.
Serve beautiful pink macaroons, stacked with other inviting colors (orange, brown, green).
Stack up a display tree with cupcakes topped with heaps of pink fluffy frosting.
Hang paper lanterns in pink and one other accent color (or white) inside, if your ceilings are tall, or from the entrance/porch.
Here’s a fun pink & green bridal shower by a super-creative gal: Messaround’s Bridal Shower
Finally, a few pics! First, some pretty elaborate goodies: a lovely cake by CakeItUp, and a magnificent cupcake tower by Pink Cake Box.
Last, a picture that I think really shows how even simple decorations can look *great* if you tip off your girls and ask them to sort of be part of the decor by wearing pink. This works best for a small, intimate shower.
February 6th, 2008 at 4:29 pm
I am the MOH and I am planning a pink themed bridal shower. Does anyone have any suggestions on cake or decorations?
February 4th, 2008 at 12:52 pm
And one more thing — incredible pink & black bridal shower! You have to see the whole slideshow, it’s amazing.
Love:
the ornate boudoir-style cookie favors …
the black piping and pink feathers on that wedding-worth cake.
hot-pink and coral florals with peacock accents in BLACK urns on satin-draped pedestals! Wow!
The insanely chipper hot pink patio umbrellas.
The black & white dotted grosgrain ribbons & fabrics …
And, the guests in their color-coordinated hats just push it over the top.
February 4th, 2008 at 2:13 am
These next pics are from a GORGEOUS pink & black wedding! The flowers (mainly roses + hydreangeas) used all the pinks, from pastel to hot, plus a range of creams and whites.
Wide and narrow ribbon in pink, hot pink and black dressed up vases, pillar candles, guestbooks and cake, and fluttered down from the venue’s chandeliers (black iron, fitting perfectly into the mod/Parisian look). The black chivari chairs also really POPPED against the pastel pink linens and supported that hint of a turn-of-the-century feel.
The bridesmaids wore black strapless gowns with wide contrasting sashes (some white, some pink) and carried bouquets of roses (again, pale and hot pink) wrapped with long ribbons that matched their sashes. Outside, the patio was decorated with pink and white paper lanterns … just lovely. Hope this helps spark some ideas …
February 4th, 2008 at 2:02 am
Some pics for pink & black brides! First, some cake, because you can never look at too many cakes.
I think these pics really get across the Frenchie, ‘ooh la la’ feeling that pink & black so easily takes on. It’s hard to beat pink & black for chic appeal.
February 2nd, 2008 at 5:52 pm
Pink and Black goes very well together. I was going to do pink and white, but decided against that because I wanted something more bold. My bridesmaid dresses are hot pink, and the groomsmen will wear black tuxedos with hot pink vests and ties. My dress is white, so my fiance is wearing all white under his black tuxedo. My flowers are different shades of pink. I am using tiger lillies, calla lillies, and roses for my flowers. You are totally right, Erika, that pink and black can be done in many ways. Good Luck to you.
February 2nd, 2008 at 11:16 am
I am planning a pastel pink and black wedding for next March. I thought about doing pink and white or pink and silver but I am having a night wedding so I think the black will work great. My bridesmaids will wear a pastel pink dress and the groomsmen will wear black evening tuxedo’s with a pink vest and bow-tie and my fiance will wear the evening tuxedo with a white vest and bow-tie. I don’t want him to look like a groomsman. I think pink and black can be done in so many ways.

Lyndsay,
I think that you are perfectly right about the tuxedos. My fiance and I decided to go with black tuxedos. Thanks for the advice and for being honest. How are your plans going?
January 25th, 2008 at 3:48 pm
Christian,
White tuxedos scream 1990s!!! Go with black.
January 15th, 2008 at 11:41 am

January 10th, 2008 at 1:15 am
Here’s a picture of the bridesmaid dress and bouquet that I have chosen. Do yall think that the bouquet goes with this shade of pink that the bridesmaid dress is? I am scared that the flowers in my bouquet may be too dark for this dress. Thanks in advance for the input.

I am also having a pink and black wedding in 2009. We are not sure what month we keep changing our minds. I am having the bridesmaid wear pink and the groomsmen are wearing all black with a pink tie and vest. Which of course my fiance decided. I had to let him decide on something. The centerpieces are going to be glass ornaments in the colors of pink, black, white and silver inside a glass vase. It is a twist on a typical winter wedding which is what im leading towards. Also our favors are going to be hot cocoa packs, which i thought would be cute with the winter setting. I would love to hear your comments to tell me what you think.
January 4th, 2008 at 1:04 am
Hi Christian,
i would say that the groomsmen should wear black Tuxedos with pink ties.
All the best with the wedding plans. I know they are very stressful. well they are for me.
January 4th, 2008 at 12:41 am
I’m doing hot pink and black, with silver and polka dot accents. My wedding is going to be in June or July 2009. I think it looks really cute together. I’m doing black bridesmaids dresses with a hot pink sash, and I’m using hot pink roses, and Gerber daisies for flowers. I was going to do pink and brown, but one of my friends did that. I’m a little more punky anyway; so i think hot pink and black is the way to go.
January 3rd, 2008 at 9:23 pm
In response to Tara, my wedding is also pink and white. For my centerpieces, I am doing glass vases on mirrors with rose petals sprinkled at the base. Hobby Lobby has this material called “crystal gel” that will be in the bases. It looks like crystals. All you do is add water to the material, let it set, and it looks like crystals. I am going to dye the crystal gel pink by using fabric coloring that is the same pink shade of my wedding. It is really neat and very cheap. I am going to top the vases off with tiger lily and calla lily flower arrangements. I have one question for all of you guys. The shade of pink I chose is Hot Pink. My bridesmaids’ dresses are hot pink strapless dresses. Their bouquets are hot pink and light pink tiger lillies and calla lillies. I want the groomsmen to wear pink ties and vest, but I don’t know if they should wear black tuxedos or white tuxedos. What do yall think?
Oh yeah, I am getting married August 2008.
January 3rd, 2008 at 1:35 am
I am getting married in April 2008. I keep changing my mind about the colors i know i want pink. Now i’m thinking of a sand or lattee color with light and hot pink. Do you think that will look good together? I am getting worried on the colors know it’s coming up soon and i’m not sure how to go with it. HELP!!!!
December 28th, 2007 at 10:11 am
I am getting married in May 2008 and my color scheme will be pink and white. As i think the two just go so lovely together.
But i have one problem i am not to sure about the centre piece and also if i should have a theme as well.
If so what theme will go with pink and white. Hope someone can help.
December 18th, 2007 at 1:03 am
And I thought I was the only one that LOVED pink and black!! I’m planning my daisy themed, black and pink, wedding for July 12th, 2008. I have wanted pink and black for so long and now I’m finally getting it! I’m at a loss as to what to do for the groom though. I want the groomsmen to wear the pink tie/vest. But I don’t want my groom to look the same as the groomsmen. Maybe a pink vest with black tie? Or vice versa? I wanted my bridesmaids to wear the pink dresses with an accent of black… but they all want black dresses with pink accents (b/c black is slimming). I don’t want too much black… I want PINK!! So I think they are just going to have to deal with the pink dresses! And for the tables at the reception hall I’m looking at some black silk table cloth with a mirror in the center and pink candle… then I found some black/white/pink confetti to sprink all over the tables. I can’t wait!!!!! Anymore ideas?
December 8th, 2007 at 10:41 am
Hello !! Well I love all those ideas because I too am having a june 14th 2008 PINK and BLACK wedding. My hubby to be was not as happy about the pink and that is why pink and black it is. I have gone through about 20 different color changes but I am happy not because i never pictured any thing else. He is wearing a black suit with white tie and vest ( so he can match me with the white) and the grooms will be wearing a black suit with a pink vest and tie ( if they love us as a couple they should not complain). The bridesmaids dress are black with a light pink sash. I have bought pink submersible lights to put in the vases with pink flowers for the centerpieces. The favors are black frames from this site. I am not sure what color i should have the bows on the chair, or in the church because i don’t know if this will be to much pink.
December 5th, 2007 at 12:06 pm

Hi Everyone! I am having a June 14, 2008 wedding. My colors started with wine and a pink colored accent called Tea Rose from Alfred Angelo for the bridesmaids. Since it’s going to be a summer wedding I changed it to sage green with yellow accents, however, I just couldn’t stop thinking about how badly I have always wanted wine with the Tea Rose accent. So I decided to go back to wine and tea rose. My fiance wants to wear a black tux with a white vest and tie so my first question is whether putting the groomsmen in black tuxes with wine vests and ties are too dark for June? (He doesn’t want them in any shade of pink) My second question is regarding the invitations. The tea rose is in between a mauve and pink color. I have looked at hundreds of wedding invitations and have only found one that I really liked. The problem is that it only comes in cotton candy. Would that be tacky if the invitations were not the exact shade of pink as my bridesmaids? Keep in mind that our moms will be in a different shade of pink called Sugar Plum. I am also including pink roses in the reception center pieces. Will all of this be okay?
November 12th, 2007 at 3:43 pm
Deana Thanks for the advice. I think my flower girl is going to wear a black dress with a pink sash but I am having her carry a white flower girl bucket thing can place the word do you think that would look okay. I am just not sure how to plan all of my wedding plans in such little time I guess I am just really worried.
Thanks again
November 9th, 2007 at 1:05 pm
Ednita & Tiffany, I too an having a black and white wedding with hot pink and silveraccents. The bridesmaids are all going to be in black. Ednita, let your bridesmaids pick out their own dresses. Give a guideline for what you want but that way they can buy them and they will also be able to wear them again. That’s what I did with mine. They are all carrying hot pink flowers and wearing hot pink shoes since the dresses are all black. That way there is some color and it doesn’t seem so dark. Tiffany as for your flower girl I would think about a pink dress since the bridesmaids dresses are black. It would be a nice ‘pop’ at the end. I’m not sure what your guys are wearing but if you have a ring bearer and if he’s young enough, mine will be 3, I would put him in a black tux/suit with a hot pink shirt instead or white. I don’t knwo how big of a part you want pink to be in your wedidng but I think that’s a good amount so that it’s not ‘tacky’. As far as ’seasonal weddings’ go, who cares it’s yours and only yours so use pink when and where you want it. Now you might not be able to get your groom in pink but hey that’s okay. Let’s see decorations. I’m planning black and white as the foundation of my deco. with pink and silver accents. Use lots of feathers, candles, and christmas lights. This will give it a soft look and still keep with the ‘holiday season’. I’m assuming your reception is indoors so I suggest watching the reception part of my big fat greek wedding. Look at the wall behind where the couple sits. This would brighten up the room and still keep an elegant feel on the so called ‘punk rock’ colors scheme. (I get the same faces when I say pink and black.) It’s not a hard back drop to create I’ve done it before for a reception. If you like these ideas and need some more I’ll see how I can help! Oh and congrats to you and Ednita!
October 29th, 2007 at 5:44 pm
Ednita I am using those same colors for my January 08 wedding and I am very excited. I am only having one maid of honor and I am putting her in a black dress only thing is what color are you going to put your flower girl in….Also what are you using as decorations and all…are you having your wedding indoors or outdoors.
October 29th, 2007 at 1:24 pm
Hello Everyone!
I just found this website and i think its awesome! I am very interested in having hot pink and black as my wedding colors, most likely this may 08. Does that work? I thought about having my bm in hot pink with black dresses, and my tables with white and hot pink.. any ideas? I am on a very low budget so any nice ideas would be welcome…
October 21st, 2007 at 3:19 pm
Tiffany, another thought for you. If I was planning a pink-theme winter wonderland wedding I would RUN to the nearest store and pick up a copy of the newest (Martha Stewart) Blueprint magazine. It has an absolutely wonderful feature on pink-themed winter wonderland decor with mixed-metal accents.
No black, but lots of clear glass, sparkly crystal, silvery butterflies … and wonderful inexpensive centerpieces that would really wow your guests. Just a great source of ideas whether you end up using them literally or not.
October 19th, 2007 at 5:21 pm
Hi Tiffany put your flower girls in white dresses with either a pink or black waist sash or just put them in sinple white dresses. Here are some wedding cake design websites www.enchantedweddingcakes.com or www.celebratecakes.com … a friend of mine printed off a cake design from one these websites and took it to a local baker.
I also hope that really consider serving your guest something other then cake and punch because the guest buy cards and gifts and come out for the special day. You could have a family member make party trays or order them from a local deli or walmart things such as fruit and veggie trays and finger sanwhiches ,little cocktail smokies , cheese and crackers, you know just a little something .
Also its up to you if you want an aisle runner I think it will look great to have a black and white monogramed aisle runner with hot pink or pink petals sprinkled over it. Go to www.signatureweddingaislerunners.com and view the gallery or portfolio even just sprinkled petals on the floor. Without a runner will look fine also, its up to you, but just view this website anyways and go to www.petalgarden.com for silk rose petals or www.growersbox.com for fresh. Again i hope this all helps — I love weddings and parties — and let me know what you think of everything and what you decided for your final wedding colors.
October 19th, 2007 at 1:11 pm
My sister has a little black dress already but now the problem is what to put the flower girl in I mean I am not sure. Do you know any cake wedding sites where I could find some designs. Thanks for all your help again. Do you think that it would be a good idea to get one of those runners to place on the floor since the church floor is like a beige color.
October 18th, 2007 at 1:28 pm
Hi Tiffany I see more of what you need help on. Think about dressing you bridal party in black and white girls in black dresses and guys in black tuxes with white tie trim. let the flowers either be Hot pink or Light pink one or the other either light pink roses or Hot pink roses or Gerber Daises. go to growersbox. com to have fresh flowers sent to you or buy silk or go to a florist. buy pew bows to put on the church pews in your choice of color, and order a aisleway runner and sprinkle the aisle runner with either hot pink and light pink rose petals. look for a local party rental store and rent some candlobras or a floral arch.
For the reception you should really consider offereng more thn just cake and punch some Non exspensive ideas are party platters things such as chicken fingers and finger sanwhiches. if you have nearby walmart or Sams go to the Deli and they will make them for you. and for centerpieces buy inexspensive glass vases or flower pots and fill them with pink flowers and surround the larger centerpiece with small votive candles and sprinkle rose petals on the tables.
And Tiffany please visit www.ariadress.com its a bridesmaid dress website and I saw some pretty black and Hot Pink dress options. just View there photo album and you will see what im talking about but please visit this site let me know what you think get back with me .
October 18th, 2007 at 12:35 pm
Okay Tabitha see that is the problem I know that I am getting married in the church. I will have about 100 people. The reception will follow at the church but I don’t think we will have dancing since my fiance is not a dancer I think we were talking about just having punch and cake. Also I have not chosen any decorations really because I have not really had a lot of ideas. I wasn’t sure about how I can pull off this black and white them with mainly accents of hot pink. Do you think it would be too much if I had accents of hot pink and baby pink. Thank you for all your help.
Also I was not sure about a theme because my fiance is absolutely no help he just keeps saying it is my day
October 18th, 2007 at 11:54 am
Hi Tiffany Black bridesmaids dresses will be fine for a winter wedding I thought you were trying to put your bridal party in Hot pink for a winter wedding and I thought that was a little to much boldness with the Hot pink and Black for a winter wedding but if you were to do a black and white theme with different shades of pink Flowers including hints and touches of hot pink to add punch you could pull it off and it could look good . But exactly what type of theme or atmosphere are you going for because all i know so far is that you are having hot pink and black so if you help me see your vision more I can further help you if thats okay.
October 18th, 2007 at 11:24 am
Is it appropriate to have a black and white theme wedding in January. If so will it work to have my sister which she will be the maid of honor wear a black dress. Does anyone else have some other ideas to pull this theme off…
October 18th, 2007 at 10:25 am
Hi Tabitha so your saying that black brides maid dresses would be way too much.
Oh yeah Tabitha the whole reason I was going with the black bm dresses is because my sister will no way no how get in a pink dress.
Thanks
October 17th, 2007 at 7:56 pm
Hey April go to Alfred Angelos website at www.alfredangelo.com they offer a over a 100 style dresses in over 46 colors choices for any style dress but I have to say my favorite website and the most perfect website for your pink and green color scheme is ariadress.com they have so many pink and green options and any other color a bride is looking for you will LOVE their website and put your flower girls in pink since your bridesmaids are in green they can be little pink fairies or princesses and black tuxes sounds good check out these websites and let me know what you think hope this helps.
October 17th, 2007 at 5:38 pm
I am super excited about my pink and green wedding. But, David’s Bridal dosen’t seem to offer a lime/mint green in their bridesmaids dresses. My wedding dress is…believe it or not…pink (light pink), so I want to keep the girls in green. Does anyone have any suggestions on where to get lime/mint green dresses? I live in a small town and David’s is the only bridal store around here. Also, I’m trying to keep the groomsmen from having to wear brown tuxes. So, will black be ok with this light pink and green wedding. One more thing…what about the flowergirls? What color should they wear?
October 17th, 2007 at 5:15 pm
Hi Tiffany I think you can use Hot Pink but not as a main color maybe as an accent color now black and hot pink for a winter wedding I think is a little to much boldness and Hot pink is a summer color im a wedding and Events coordinator and when your doing a seasonal wedding you dont want to go to far out of the box as far as color goes because it could come off as tacky for example read above for the pink on pink idea that would be different for a winter wedding but at the same elegant your colors could be an icy light pink and white with Hot pink accents put your bridal party in Light pink and white and have for your flowers you can do have both shades of light and hot pink ,and it wont be too much boldness but just enough to make it trendy ,fun and different but if you read more above on the pink on pink or pink on white ideas at the top of the page and look at the flashing images you can see more of what im talking about let me know what you think because i find many brides who want to bring bold summer colors into the winter and I try to find ways they can without it looking too tacky so let me know what you come up with for your final desicion please.
October 17th, 2007 at 2:37 pm
Thanks Tabitha Well earlier when I said pink I was thinking more like hot pink do you think that is too much for a winter wedding.
October 17th, 2007 at 12:52 pm
Hi Tiffany I think a Sparkling winter wonderland theme would be great for a winter wedding using the colors Pink and Silver for the ceremony create an aisleway with rented silver Candleabras or silver lanterns and sprinkle real or silk pink and white roses petals on the ground dress your Bridemaid in pink gowns and the guys in either .grey, white ,or black tuxes with pink or silver tie and vest trim.For the reception find anything that sparkles as far as decorations goes buy glass vases for centerpieces and fill them with silver christmas ornaments or glass marbles sprinkle the tables with pink petals or silver or glass beads, and take white christmas trees or tall green plants and wrap them in white bridal lights buy inexspensive glasses from bargain stores set the tables with extra glamore let me know what you think and i hope this helps.
October 17th, 2007 at 11:57 am
Hey everyone I am getting married january 12 2008 and I am really stressed with it so soon and I have very little decorations and all. I have chosen black and white with pink accents for my wedding but everyone I tell that too just gives me this weird look. Just face I need advice
October 16th, 2007 at 1:40 pm
Hi candace try thinking of the chocolate Brown color . Now what goes great with chocolates Champagne or cream right . try putting your guys in Ivory or cream colored tuxes or suits with the Brown tie and vest trim. or ivory or cream Tuxes with Champagne gold Tie and vest Trim , Khaki colored suits with champagne or Brown Tie trim or even Black tux with champagne gold tie trim might work as well if you just prefer a black tux let me know what you think so i may further help you .
October 15th, 2007 at 8:48 pm
Hi, my wedding is next September and I would like to have pink and brown for my colors. My problem is I dont know what to put the guys in? My fiance does not want to wear pink, but I dont think brown and black will work. Help!
October 6th, 2007 at 10:31 pm
Hi, my wedding is in February.i want to have maroon,ivory, gold..but they say it will make your wedding dark…Any ideas? But my second choice is lime green and pink.
September 29th, 2007 at 2:26 pm
Hi Cindy I think maybe you should Dress your bridal party Pink and Brown The Bridesmaids Should wear Pink tea length dresses with chocolate brown sahes and you can dress your guys in either ivory tuxes with pink or chocolate brown tie , and let the pink and lime green be in your flowers because for an outdoor ceremony lots of pink and greenery would be nice as well as in the bouquets and reception centerpieces let me know what you think.
September 28th, 2007 at 3:30 pm
My wedding is March 28, 2008 it will be a outdoord ceremony and I have no clue what to do with my bridesmaids dresses! My colors are Hot Pink and Lime Green with hints of Chocolate Brown. Some of them think choc brown for the dress but I think Pink and a green sash or a brown sash. Any opinions? My dress is strapless ivory with a pink sash…. My center pieces will be pink and green roses and my favors are ivory boxes with pink and brown ribbon, the treat inside is a hersheys mini choc with our own labels and 2 hersheys kisses….. my wedding bouquet will form it self as I walk down the isle…each guest seated at the end will hand me a rose (one side will be pink and the other green) and before my brother hands me over to my fiance he will tie a ribbon around my bouquet.
What do you all think? Any ideas? Help me! Please?~
September 27th, 2007 at 1:29 am
Thanks jlw and Tabitha..great ideas and thanks for the suggestions on where to look
September 26th, 2007 at 8:23 pm
Hi IbI I personally think that you shoud go to the Alfred Angelo website they offer a hundred different syle of dresses in over 48 different colors to choose from in different sizes and so does Davids Bridal but Alfred Angelo is my favorite . Putting your bridesmaids in Champagne colored gowns with satin pink waist sashes would be pretty and the bouquets could be pink and cream roses or just pink florals .
September 26th, 2007 at 4:44 pm
Hello Ibi,
I also chose those colors…champagne and pink. However, I have decided to put the men in black suits with ties that match the color of the ladies dresses. My bridemaids also have dark skin tones…I think teh color combination will work out fine. Have you seen the combination on Alvina Valenta’s website….really nice.
Hope thsi helps.
September 26th, 2007 at 3:49 pm
Hey ladies, what do you think of champagne and pink as wedding colors? Myself and bmaids have dark skin tones and I definitely want to use champagne somewhere in the theme as i think it would look great. Trouble is I don’t know what dress color to use (groom and groomsmen will be wearing champagne ties/waist coats). I was thinking champagne dresses with pink flowers?? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
September 25th, 2007 at 2:04 pm
Hi Sarah I love your color scheme so basically your centerpieces are going to be glass vases filled with clear marble crytals sitting on mirrors with candles since you are using such a bold hot pink color ,tone it down with a softer green such as Sage green or a Mint Green that would look great with the hot pink let me know what you think.
September 25th, 2007 at 12:15 pm
Hi, my wedding is on April 26, 2008 and my colors are green and hot pink accents. I am doing hot pink gerbera daisies for my bridesmaid flowers and centerpieces. I am making my own centerpieces with a mirror, candles, those clear thingy’s, a beer glass filled with clear things and 3 gerbera daisies. My main color was supposed to be green, but I have found more things I like in hot pink. I am not sure what tone of green to use. I don’t like lime green, but I am thinking maybe a softer green. Anyways, any suggestions would be great. Thank you.
September 24th, 2007 at 9:12 pm
Anette, those are beautiful colors. I don’t think you too many colors. You can also incorporate other colors to accent your main color. You could do a fairytale themed wedding. I’m using similar colors and am having a fairytale themed wedding.
September 23rd, 2007 at 10:31 pm
I am getting married in june 2008. I love pink so i’ve chosen a few different shades of pink, silver & white. I was just wondering if anyone could help me decide if thats to many colors & what kind of theme I should have. If anyone has any ideas i would love to hear them & I would really appreciate it!
September 21st, 2007 at 8:30 pm
Kai I think that is a very pretty color scheme…im getting married next oct and im having a similar color scheme except im adding silver instead of gold
September 8th, 2007 at 9:32 am
Hi! My wedding will be on January 2008. I love color pink! Would just like to ask if light pink & dark pink with light gold accent will be a good combination.
August 28th, 2007 at 8:47 am
Erica I think you should go with the whole Pink and Green color combination its the perfect color scheme for a summmer may wedding you could do a romantic garden theme with lots of greenery and pink roses .Or do a summer fairytale theme with the pink and silver combo having your girls in pink ball gown style dresses holding silver princess wands or purses instead of bouquets and an aisleway lined with silver candleabras and pink rose petals on the ground the guys could wear black tuxes with silver tie and vest trim or white with silver trim .As for your opinioneted fiance try showing photos of your ideas to give him more insight on how things will look cut pictures out of magazines and print stuff off different web sights also go to David Bridals websight and view their design gallery for help with color combinations let me know what you think about my ideas so far? and also please read my last recent comment below and help me pick out a month for my fairytale wedding please !
August 27th, 2007 at 7:55 pm
I’m getting married May 2008, and my fiance’ is very opionated!!! So deciding on colors have been very difficult. We started with conary and coral. Then Conary and Copper and now Pink and Silver. Please help!!! I really just wish I had someone to help with coming up with combinations.
August 23rd, 2007 at 2:12 pm
I am getting married in October and I am doing Hot Pink, Brown and Lime Green. My maids are in hot pink dresses and my guys are in brown tuxes with hot pink ties and vests. each of my girls will carry one long stem ivory calla lily twired in hot pink and lime green wire, the guys will have one small ivory calla with a bit of hot pink and lime green wire twirled around it. My bouquet is all deep hot pinks and red flowers with a bit of purple statis. I will have hot pink wire and a bit of lime green wire twists coming out of my bouquet. My dress is ivory, but has the train and the very top (strappless) of my dress lined in hot pink. at the reception my cente
