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.

Hi I’m getting married in april of 2011 but i need some help with me favors, my colors are pink and white. please help.
Hello Bridgette. My wedding colors are navy and pink and for my favors I am going to have a candy buffet. I am going to have different candies in many shades of pink and have navy boxes/bags for the guests to fill up. The candy buffet doubles as decorations and favors so it’s a good idea. Also, when my guests enter the reception I am going to have a basket with bubbles (because that is all the church will allow). The bubbles are pink and I’m going to tie a skinny navy bow around it and put a sticker that has our names and wedding dates. Bubbles are VERY cheap!!!

Hope this helps.. :) Good luck!

Hi Bridgette:
Congrats! I am getting married in April 2011 too! A good suggestion is a CD of you and your fiance’s favorite love songs. A nice sleek cd jacket with maybe a seal with you all’s initials on it would be a nice touch. Everyone loves music.:0)
I’m looking for ideas for decorations and centerpieces for my wedding. My colors are navy blue, champagne, and hot pink. Any ideas? Thanks girls!!!
Halee,
Are you having a theme? Is it low key or formal?
* some pics
* this would be gorgeous
If you have a pic of the location I would be happy to see what would work best!
Halee,
Oh yes! pair champagne, pale pink, hot pink roses against a basic navy blue will make the colors really pop!
I’m hoping for very low key. My bride maids dresses are navy and they will be carrying hot and pale pink roses. I was thinking about having hot pink table cloths with navy runners. Or should I do navy table cloths with hot pink runners? What do you think? I don’t have a picture of the venue yet but when I doI will be more than happy to post it so I could get more ideas.
Halee,
A would love to see a pic. Actually either combo will work beautifully. Would you be against white linens cause I think that would actually be perfect especially with the main colors on the bridal party. Can’t wait to see the pic!!
Halee,
OOP! I saw where you were using champagne. That would work well too as your linens.
Well, I wasn’t sure if I did navy linens if that would make the room look too dark. I think I may do some pink table cloths and some champagne and have all of them with navy runners…

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! =)
