Bonjour mes amis,
With most weddings taking approximately 250 hours to completely plan it makes sense that the planning process often begins several months or even over a year before the wedding date (of course this varies from couple to couple, depending on the popularity of their venue etc.). With this in mind we’ve decided to create a seasonal décor blog that will provide brides with inspiration for their table settings with each season’s “hot” colour. Right now, it’s pink for 2010’s spring brides.
I know there’s a misconception about the colour pink and I experience on a regular basis. I’m convinced that this is because they have flashes of OTT weddings (that of course feature fluro pink and look more like prom!) they’ve seen on one of the many wedding shows on TV. I’m not talking Colin Cowie’s show…I’m a huge fan of his…the shows I’m talking about are more like Bridezilla…get my drift?
Me personally…well I love pink! It’s such a versatile colour – the deep shades like magenta and cerise can exude elegance, the lighter shades light-heartedness while a mixture of shades perfectly compliment a garden or country setting and when used as just a hint colour it can complete vintage inspired bouquets and arrangements. Pink is just so effortlessly feminine and versatile that I can’t seem to get enough of it!
If you’re a little hesitant that’s ok…just because you wish to feature pink doesn’t mean you can’t incorporate other colours. Flick through Martha Stewart Weddings current issue and you’ll see some unexpected but seriously delicious pairings with copper, gray and navy which will put your mind at ease.
Of course the degree to which your shades of pink feature in your wedding is entirely up to you. For more discreet touches, secure your neatly folded napkins with a luscious pink bow, fill your champagne flutes with Rosé, feature a pink lolly buffet or hint at the colour in your stationery.
For more of a dramatic impact though, the most obvious option is to adorn your tables with pink floral arrangements. These can sit beautifully on the palest of pink overlays or for some contrast on the tables use tid-bits of black or navy. Alternatively, if your style is more clean and streamlined you could dress the room in white and saturate it with the perfect pink lighting.
The ways in which you can incorporate pink into your wedding really are endless and my personal preference as to how to approach this tends to chain regularly depending on my mood (funnily enough, the same applies to my nail polish!) so instead of focusing on one take, visit a variety of inspirational images from Martha Stewart Weddings website to help you on your way!
