is with very good reason; there are so many different directions that
you can take a pink theme. Read on for some tips about having the
prettiest pink wedding.

Pink can be many things. Pale pink conveys
a delicate and classic effect. Bermuda pink can be preppy or the height
of femininity. And for the bold bride, there is always hot pink!
Combining a range of pinks is also wonderful. You can achieve other
moods by mixing pink with another color. Pink with white is pure and
sweet, pink and brown are chic and sophisticated, and pink and green are
preppy and fun.

A nice thing about a pink color palette for your
wedding is that pink elements are so easy to come by. Almost any flower
that you can dream of will be available in pink. Whether you love
tulips, roses, lilies, hydrangea, snapdragons, or gerbera daisies, you
will be able to find your favorite blossoms in a shade of pink (and
often in several shades). That makes it very easy to design the floral
displays of your dreams, whether your style is elegant orchids or
impressive Stargazer lilies.

Table linens are another part of your
wedding décor that will look great in pink. The tables are a good place
to think about mixing in a second color. So if you have pale pink
linens, use white brocade napkins with silver vases for a formal
wedding. Or you could choose to use rich espresso brown napkins over a
brighter pink tablecloth for an evening wedding. The possibilities are
literally endless.

When planning a pink wedding, don't forget
about lighting. Pink is a fabulously flattering color on anyone's skin.
If you are having professional lighting, definitely ask them to use some
soft pink lights in the dining area. For fun, you could use hot pink
spotlights on the dance floor. A very simple way to cast a pink glow
over your reception is with tea lights in pretty pink votive holders.

No
pink wedding would be complete without pink dresses for the
bridesmaids. Just like lighting, this is a great choice, because pink is
such a universally flattering color to wear. Delicate pink shantung
dresses would be just right for a daytime wedding, and richer shades of
pink in glowing satin are perfect for the evening. You can also choose a
fabric with a design or pattern, such as a strapless cocktail dress
with pink and blue stripes, or a stunning pink and white toile.
For
your bridesmaid jewelry, you will find many terrific options in pink.
Pale pink pearls are very romantic for your attendants. If you like more
sparkle, check out Swarovski crystal bridesmaid jewelry, which comes in
every imaginable shade of pink. You can also go with the classic look
of a strand of pearls and dress it up with a pink bow instead of a
regular clasp. Some brides also like the look of white pearls mixed with
pink crystal accents.

The bride herself can get into the act with
pink details on her wedding gown. A pink taffeta sash would make a
lovely addition to a simple white or ivory dress. Another idea is to
wear a bridal gown with pink embroidery on the bodice. If you prefer the
all-white look for your dress, you can pull in a hint of pink in your
bridal jewelry.
