Pink Wedding Centerpieces
Since we are born, a majority of women are raised in an environment full of the color pink. Sometime after that we begin to dream about our wedding and it is no surprise that for many brides, the color pink plays a big part in that picture. For brides using pink in their color scheme, there are extensive choices when it comes to pink wedding centerpieces – but first, you need to narrow it down and choose what shade of pink you see on your tabletops.
When going for a softer look, your options can range anywhere from cherry blossom flower arrangements to serving trays of decadent desserts, like little pink petit fours and cupcakes. Cotton candy could make for a unique pink centerpiece – edible, fluffy, and totally fun! If you do plan on utilizing food as your centerpieces, I highly recommend using multi-level trays and apothecary jars filled up with pink treats. Place them onto mirrors and surround them with flowers and votives – (which look very nice in pink frosted candle holders!)
But maybe this isn’t the pink vision you had in mind; maybe you want a little more “edge” to your wedding. In this case, go with a more saturated shade of pink. Arrange hot pink roses onto shiny black candelabras, or submerge hot pink orchids under water in a tall vase. It doesn’t get any more modern than that! Another detail to consider is the shape of the tables folks will be sitting at. For circular tables, you will have a more focused arrangement in the center of the table whereas for longer tables you could have more of a linear look – with the centerpieces lined up down the center of the tabletops (like pink gerbera daisies in individual pink vases!).
Pink pairs nicely with almost any other color; chocolate brown and baby pink is a classic look, as is hot pink when against a high contrast black or silver. Pink centerpieces for weddings can be girly, soft, and preppy or they can be vivid, wild, and modern – it’s all in the shade. Some women choose not to limit themselves when it comes to shade in their centerpieces. If the flower is pink, they want it. Peonies, hydrangeas, roses, tulips, and more! This can end up looking fabulous when it comes to the floral details but as far as the rest of the table is concerned, it’s better to have more focus.
