Get an ‘on-trend’ wedding… Pink is back!

Whether it’s the peaches, cherry blossom or cotton candy shades, 2014 is set to be all about pink. Out with the floral trend of 2013, pink is set to dominate some of the hottest weddings of 2014 with us Brides-to-be expected to follow suit.

So if you’re planning a wedding which aims to capture the elegant blushes of coral, or the buzzing beauty of a rose, then keep reading.

These are our Top 6 Pink Wedding Theme Ideas which can make your wedding hot… pink!

A Bride with her Bridesmaids and Pink Theme

1. A Pink Assortment. When it comes to pink the sheer number of shades available makes planning your bridal party’s attire an exciting affair. Use a number of pink hues in your bouquets, from a hot pink to a carnation pink, to create a look that just bursts into life.

2. Gentlemen in (light) red. That’s right, it’s not just the ladies in red who can get in on the pink trend. Gents can get away with the lavender rose too! If they are a little colour shy, why not try adding a simple taster splash of your chosen pink hue with a tie, peony or even their socks?

3. Blossoming Commitment. If you’re like us, then sending your Save the Dates cards has an element of excitement, drama and secrecy. In order to keep this element of concealment make sure you only show a slight shade of colour within your save the dates, so that you won’t let people in on your Wedding Theme before you send your invites.

4. A Rosy Day! Now that you’ve sent your Save the Dates, it’s time to announce your wedding in style. Make sure your wedding theme is firmly set in your guests mind with your loving imprint wedding invitation design. Featuring a swooping floral, this invitation is set on a backdrop of pink carnation and is sure to have guests eager with excitement and anticipation for your big day.

A Pink Wedding Cake

5. One Shade of Pink. This cake photographed by PinkCakeBox uses one light shade of pink throughout the cake. If you’d like to use a number of shades, why not blend both light and dark together, by using edible florals, or create a shimmering look with blended colour sprinkles?

A Pink Wedding Dress

6. Finally THE dress. Picking your wedding dress is a very personal endeavour and most of you Brides like to stick with the tradition of wearing white on your wedding day. But if you want to be a little different, and catch a few more gasps when you walk down the aisle, then a pink wedding dress is the look you’re after.

This wedding dress, photographed by ASweetfilm, is going to be very hot this year, and we can’t wait to see a few adventurous brides donning this fuchsia tone as they say I do!

Wedding Inspiration: A Wedding in the Spring 2014

When it comes to thoughts of Spring we instantly say goodbye to the cold, bleak depths of winter and welcome renewal, rejuvenation and rebirth, whether that be a fresh white snowdrop or a skipping lamb! With these elements in mind and the inspiring knowledge of warmer temperatures and lighter, longer days beckoning the summer months in, and it’s a wonderful time to get married.

Spring Wedding

When planning your wedding, a great first step is to choose your invitations. Here are some of our favourite new Spring Wedding Invitations for 2014…

 

Aqua Speechless Invitation
Winter’s Tilt

As the winter months draw to an end, the dawning of Spring beckons; but it can still be quite a wintery affair. If you’re planning your wedding at the end of February and want to capture both the magic of a winter wedding and the budding beauty of the start of Spring, then the Aqua Speechless Invitation is perfect for you. Using both a light and darker shade of Aqua Blue this invitation blends a pattern of white dots on its overlay which can be reminiscent of fading snowflakes which melt into the background.

A Green Earth Wedding Invitation
Green Rebirth

If you close your eyes and imagine the coming months you can no doubt see the birth of bright daffodils and the rejuvenation to everything green and beautiful. For an invitation which captures this rebirth we just love the Green Earth Invitation, using a fawn brown and a earth green. This invitation is just full of energy and excitement, and would be perfect for a wedding in early March or April.

 

Rustic Flora Spring Wedding Invitations
Rustic Spring

Through trawling Pinterest and poring over blogs looking for wedding inspiration, you’ll have seen the hype that surrounds the 2014 rustic wedding. Coming into trend in early 2012, a rustic wedding will be different for every Bride, but is usually thought of as bringing the chic touch of nature into the glamour of a wedding. Many Rustic Brides love the early months for their wedding day and we think this Rustic Flora Invitation is the perfect added touch. Using a wood background, together with the growing flora this invitation really captures the idea of rustic chic.

Lime Glacé Fresh Wedding Invitation
Fresh Glacé

The freshness of a Spring wedding is brought to life with this Lime Glacé Fresh Invitation which incorporates a number of tinted Limes and Lemons; attaching itself to the beauty and rejuvenation of life. This invitation is a fresh touch which will have your guests warming with excitement towards your coming wedding.


 Life in Bloom Wedding Invitation
The First Bloom

The elegant theme revels in the rejuvenation of life and the first blooms of the year. If this is an aspect you wish to capture in your wedding invitation, then the Life in Bloom Invitation is ideal for you. Using a lavender backdrop of flowers bursting to life, this invitation is sure to blossom as a guest favourite as they look forward to your Spring wedding.
