What girl doesn’t dream of seeing herself in the role of a real princess: a pink wedding dress, an elegant hairstyle, rich jewelry and admiring glances directed only at her. As an adult, you can give your childhood dream a chance to come true, because the bride is that same princess!
And by decorating your wedding day using shades of pink, you can not only plunge into a fairy tale yourself, but also give this feeling to guests, friends and relatives who have come to share with the newlyweds the joy of creating a new family and uniting two loving hearts.
Invitations
A wedding invitation is not just a way to inform a person that they want to see him at the holiday.
This is the very first note with which the symphony of that magical day begins. It is with the help of invitations that the atmosphere of the future wedding is created, its theme is set and the guests are informed not only of the time and date of the ceremony, but also its style.
Therefore, it is important to approach the selection and creation of invitations responsibly and with imagination, choosing to use white or pink. The traditional paper version of the invitation will look more interesting if you complement it with a ribbon, a beautiful bow, braid or lace. This card is less formal.
The invitations are original, printed on a long sheet of paper and rolled up like a medieval dispatch.
The package should also be tied with a ribbon or a deliberately rough rope; it is permissible to supplement it with an imitation of a sealing wax seal, because this is a document of national importance!
For a wedding in soft pink tones, an unusual idea to invite a guest would be to present him with a gingerbread with an inscription containing the necessary information.
For example, the mint variety can be ordered in specialized shops or baked and painted with your own hands. In continuation of the sweet theme - there is hardly anything better to emphasize the atmosphere than airy white and pink marshmallows - put the invitation in an elegant box with sweets and hand it to the subscriber.
A delicate bouquet of tea roses, peonies, phlox or tulips of this romantic shade, complemented by a postcard with calligraphic text, will certainly please your guests (a rose is a sign of wealth). The color pink is interesting because it is both delicate and bright. With its help, you can decorate a celebration in Provence, retro style, arrange a glamorous party or celebration in Barbie style, or touch on a fairy-tale theme.
Lilac, peach, blue, blue, pinkish and violet shades are also actively used.
Who is it suitable for?
It's simple - the celebration is ideal for young romantics, gentle and soft at heart, who dream of living their whole lives with their soulmate in love and harmony. It is for such couples that designers add exquisite, delicate pinkish and any of its shades to the traditional wedding white color.
It is important to note that there are a huge number of shades of pink, so men who often shy away from this glamorous color will always be able to choose a pink tie, bow tie or shirt to suit their taste, ideal for this wonderful holiday.
Images of the young
If everything is more or less clear with the bride (what could be more harmonious than a young girl and the shades of the early dawn?), then at first glance it is not easy to decide on the appearance of the groom, but in fact the couple can look very stylish.
Bride's style - dress, bouquet, accessories in pink shades
The atmosphere of such a wedding implies the embodiment of tenderness, innocence and lightness; it is this style that the future wife is recommended to adhere to when creating her image.
The dress can be either traditionally white or any shade of pink.
The main thing is to emphasize the style with details. With the classic version, the bet is on jewelry, hair accessories, and a bouquet. If the dress is colored, then the remaining details can be white, ivory, beige or pearl gray. In addition, you can play with shades.
Flowing silhouette, cascading folds, sophisticated lace and smooth silk...The bride's dress is in bright fuchsia or soft pastel colors. Modern wedding designers actively use the entire rich palette of this color when creating their collections.
Fluffy skirts with a frame, corset and floral motifs will harmoniously fit into the atmosphere of the holiday, be it in the Barby-doll style, or classic, Provence or retro.
For jewelry, pearls, luxury jewelry, vintage jewelry or handmade pieces are optimal.
Silver, white gold, and platinum look beautiful against a pink background. The bride's makeup is preferably minimal, without bright accents or rich colors.
The bouquet can be either a traditional spherical shape, or in the form of a drop, a candle, or an unusual composition (umbrella, handbag). Structural and flowing bouquets collected from roses, lilies, orchids, feces, gerberas, daisies, and tulips look beautiful.
The most interesting option is tussie-mussie, a very unusual and bright bridal accessory that came to us from France.
Suit, boutonniere and other elements of the groom's image
It is unlikely that most men will agree to wear a pink suit - the stronger sex does not particularly favor this color in their wardrobe.
Only extraordinary, creative individuals will approve of this option. But a shirt, bow tie or tie causes much less resistance. The combination of pink with gray, sand, and beige looks elegant, not banal and fresh.
It is advisable to choose these colors for trousers and jacket, and choose accessories in the shade that sounds in the bride’s outfit. The same goes for the flowers in the boutonniere, they duplicate the bride’s bouquet. Thanks to such simple techniques, the couple looks organic, the image turns out to be uniform.
The groom, of course, does not need a large number of accessories, but an elegant tie pin or cufflinks are quite acceptable.
Flowers for a wedding
Don’t forget about one of the bride’s main “companions” – her bouquet. Pink or white roses, peonies, chrysanthemums, freesias... If pink flowers are not your thing, you can simply decorate the stem of the bouquet with a pink ribbon or decorate the bouquet with ribbons, beads and sparkles in pink shades.
DIY room decoration
It doesn’t matter whether you want to have a wedding in a restaurant hall or in a tent outdoors - the room needs to be decorated.
The podium, decorated in white and pink, looks very gentle and innocent: a wedding tablecloth, an arch of flowers or balloons, a backdrop draped with flowing gauze fabrics and illuminated with a garland, bouquets on the table of the newlyweds - all this will create a festive atmosphere.
Statues, fountains, crystals, flower petals, confetti, candles, bows and paper pom-poms would also be appropriate. The main thing is not to forget that this color is quite insidious; for all its delicacy, an abundance of pink objects can turn the hall into a warehouse for wedding paraphernalia.
For the main, background color, it is better to take either a neutral white, or another pastel color, or a very, very light and delicate shade of pink.
Leave bright colors for inclusions and additional items. For example, the tablecloth is white, and the dishes or bouquets in vases are the color of raspberries.
Of course, for such a celebration it would be appropriate and desirable to have flowers in the celebration room. Live plants or artificial ones - depends on the time of year.
They can be arranged in vases, placed in special stands, or decorated with walls and ceilings. Chairs are most often covered, unless they are beautiful enough in themselves and do not fit into the concept. They are decorated with ribbons, a bow, a wreath of herbs or flowers.
Pink looks beautiful in combination with clear glass, crystal, cupronickel, silver, and white porcelain without decals.
Wedding table in pink tones - how to choose decorations, dishes, cake
Dishes can also serve as table decoration, at least for a short time.
It is not necessary to adjust the entire menu to the style of the wedding; a few types of dishes and proper decoration of other dishes are enough to maintain the overall tone. In this case, one thing should be bright: a tablecloth, dishes or food - otherwise the abundance of color spots will create a motley panel and all interesting ideas will simply be lost in it.
Beets, salmon and other varieties of red fish, red caviar, raspberries, and certain varieties of plums are products that can add color accents to works of culinary art. And of course: what wedding would be complete without a cake? Traditionally, the shape of this holiday delicacy is round and multi-tiered. This delicate pink confectionery product will not leave anyone indifferent.
Its design can be lush, intricate, creamy or strict and minimalistic, but this confectionery creation still looks very appetizing.
Pink is a symbol of love and tenderness
Pink color has its own, very special energy. It is a shade of red and belongs to warm tones. The symbolism of this color makes it an ideal choice for a wedding celebration. It personifies love, affection, tenderness, romance and femininity. This color is ideal for newlyweds who love sophistication and elegance, but at the same time do not want to look old-fashioned.
Despite the fact that pink is more of a feminine color, it looks no less impressive on men, especially with ties and shirts. A few bright pink accents in the images of the bride and groom will give them freshness, lightness and unique charm.
Dress code - what to wear for guests
To ensure that the holiday atmosphere is not disturbed, ask your guests to wear something pink.
It could be a scarf, tie, belt, hat or suspenders - anything. Just in case, it wouldn’t hurt to have a couple of similar accessories for particularly forgetful guests. Otherwise, this topic does not impose any clothing obligations on them.
If you are planning a wedding celebration in a European style, where the bride has several bridesmaids, then you will have to coordinate the concept of their outfits and their combination with the image of the newlywed. Girls can dress up in dresses of the same color or play with a range of shades, but the style must be consistent, otherwise they will look like a chaotically formed group of women.
If you choose a more traditional option with one witness, then you should also make sure that her dress contrasts with the bride’s outfit.
Pink is not just for women
Many young people are wary of any shade of pink. And it’s completely in vain, because this color only emphasizes their strength and masculinity. The soft pink shade contrasts effectively with the brutal appearance, creating a stylish and elegant look.
Of course, the groom does not have to wear a fuchsia suit. A shirt and several accessories in the same color scheme can support the wedding style. A boutonniere, an elegant tie, a scarf or cufflinks - all these elements will help create a harmonious look. Pink goes well with both dark and light suits, so you shouldn't have any problems choosing accessories.
Wedding photo shoot
Photography and video filming will allow you to return again and again to the atmosphere of the happiest day, from which the family’s history begins.
You shouldn’t skimp on this and limit yourself to home video footage.
A professional will do a truly beautiful and original photo shoot. It is better to discuss its venue, style and concept in advance.
A newlywed couple in pink outfits looks beautiful against the backdrop of nature: bright greenery, yellow foliage or the blue of a pond will add brightness to the photos. Photos taken in a blooming garden or zoo next to flamingos or swans will also be very tender and romantic.
An ancient castle or abandoned manor will add an atmosphere of mystery and magic.
What colors does pink go with?
Speaking about the color pink, it should be remembered that it is divided into cold and warm colors, and also has many shades of varying brightness.
Rich pink (fuchsia) looks harmonious with brown, black, white, gray, green in some shades (lime, lettuce), orange, yellow.
Delicate shades are well complemented by olive, beige, sand, mint, purple, lilac, milky, and blue.
With some colors, pink can form quite a striking combination. If this is unacceptable in the format of your celebration and you want something calmer, then you can take the same colors, but in a less saturated tone. It is necessary to take care not only that the shades harmonize well with each other, but also that the color types of the young people allow their use.
What is the use of a beautiful dress if in it the bride looks pale and tired, and the groom has bags under his eyes due to the tone of his shirt.
In this video there is a very beautiful decoration of the hall in soft pink tones:
Such a wedding will be an unforgettable day for the heroes of the occasion and their guests. A wedding decorated in pink tones is a great opportunity to move away from the banal monochrome and give free rein to your imagination, especially since, apart from the color scheme, this theme does not imply any strict framework. Thanks to this, a celebration can have a very modest budget, but still look stylish and original. What do you think is the best theme to combine with a pink wedding?
Wedding dresses for a pink wedding
A pink wedding is, first of all, about the bride’s wedding dress and accessories. The scope for imagination is simply enormous! Regarding the bride's dress, there are two options: you can opt for a classic white dress with pink elements (an elegant belt, pink lace, etc.). The second option is a soft pink dress (or maybe even a bright pink one for creative girls who break all stereotypes).
If you choose the first option, and you will be wearing a snow-white dress with pink elements, then do not forget about other accessories that should be in harmony with your outfit. What is this? Shoes, handbag, jewelry, boleros and much more!
Pay due attention to the image of the groom. Here you set the tone: since you have elements of pink, let the groom’s image take on this shade. And there is no need to go to extremes: a pale pink shirt or tie that matches your dress and accessories will be enough!
