Think Pink!

All Things Pink

Pink! Pink! Pink! Every bride of course considers the color pink when thinking of decor, flowers, table settings and bridesmaids dresses. This is the first of I'm sure many posts involving inspiration for the color pink!


Flowers

Whether going for bold magentas or romantic petal pinks, roses, carnations, daises, hydrangeas, lilies and peonies are all beautiful in various shades of pink. 


Tip: Tell your florist what colors you plan to incorporate into your wedding and then ask what seasonal flowers she has in those colors. Seasonal flowers will save you a ton of money on both your bouquets and centerpieces!













Centerpieces & Table Settings

Pink can be incorporated into your centerpieces or your table settings or both. Pink can be an accent in the centerpiece or the napkins or pink can be the theme of your decor. Pink can be incorporated in your table linens, napkins, menu cards, glasses, centerpieces, table numbers and much much more! Here are some examples of beautiful pink centerpieces and table settings.
















Ceremony Space

Pink can easily be incorporated into a ceremony space. From small touches of flowers decorating the isle or chair sashes to the full on pink ceremony spaces displayed below!






Cake

Pink can be incorporated into your cake in a little or a big way. Your cake can be white with pink accent decoration or with pink fresh or sugar flowers. Or you can go all out and make a pink statement with your cake by covering it entirely in the color pink!

























Invitations


Incorporate pink into your invitations through the font, decoration or background colors. Just be careful not to go overboard and make sure your font is legible - you want your guests to clearly see the date and time of your special day.

Halo Engagement Rings

Fashion changes with each season but halo engagement rings continue to be a popular style. The setting allows light to pass through the stone easily, creating an even greater sparkle quality. The more gorgeous the sparkle, the more women love it! Halo rings look beautiful in both modern and traditional settings. 


A halo can be pure metal surrounding the gemstone or a pave surround setting. The pure metal setting works well with cushion-cut stones of any type of gemstone. The halo pave       engagement rings, which have a small circle of diamonds surrounding the center stone, have the advantage of making the center stone look bigger than it really is. When it comes to engagement rings, bigger is always better!


Here are some examples of my favorite halo engagement rings: 

Tacori - Chic sophistication is displayed in this unusual ring. Pretty, pave-set diamonds surround an elegant oval center stone set in an intricately engraved seat. Subtle double-split prongwork allows the center stone to be showcased with intricate engravings
