At one point or another while growing up, most every girl out there has loved pink, and everything pink. Personally, up until about high school, my room was predominately pink, and I really only changed it because I wanted some more grown up colors, I didn’t fall out of love with the color pink. Pink can be bright and cheery or soft and romantic. In fact, pink is a great feminine color, and not just for babies or little girls anymore. Over the past few years, pink has regained its popularity with adult women, thus it should be no surprise that many young women out there choose to have pink predominately in their wedding. Pink wedding receptions are also popular, and many women out there are looking for ways to decorate their pink wedding receptions without using the same old thing that everyone else is using. So, here are some great ideas for incorporating the color pink into your wedding reception.
Pink Table Linens
Depending on the shade of pink that you choose, table linens may be a good idea for you to consider to decorate your wedding reception with pink. If you have an extremely bright or louder shade of pink, then you may want to have white tablecloths with pink runners, as well as tables with pink tablecloths and white table runners to help set the room off and not overwhelm the room with pink. If you have a lighter shade of pink, then use a lighter pink tablecloth on every table along with white runners, or another color if you have chosen more than one color to use.
Pink Centerpieces
As always, you can certainly use flowers as a great pink centerpiece. Most flowers come in various shades of pink, even some inexpensive flowers you can use. If you don’t want to use flowers, there are plenty of other ideas you can use. Use large pink candles with some greenery around the bottom for a classy look. You may want to check with the codes of the building before using candles though. You could also get some mirrors and sprinkle pink rose petals, or small rose buds around the tables. It’s a great way to add some romance and color to your tables.
Pink Wedding Cake
I don’t usually write much about wedding cakes, there are so many possibilities to choose from. I have seen some beautiful white wedding cakes with bright pink roses which was absolutely charming. You could also have a white wedding cake with pink icing swirls. My advice for this is to search on the internet for some pink wedding cakes and then talk to your florist to see what they can create like it.
Pink Wedding Favors
Candles are the easiest choice for this wedding favor. You can either buy small pink and white or swirled candles on the internet, and wrap them attractively for everyone. Another popular idea that I’ve seen, but not very much, is for you to provide every guest with a small pink flower of your choosing, as well as a pin, so that everyone can wear pink and get into the spirit of the occasion. Then they can take the flowers home with them as a reminder of your special evening. You can also look at my article on Pink and Brown Weddings for more ideas.
Also, if your husband to be doesn’t mind wearing pink, you can also give them pink flowers to wear in their lapels, pink ties and/or vests. They can be very beautiful. As always, if you have any other great ideas to throw a pink wedding reception, then please leave a comment and let me know!
