If you are planning a chocolate brown and pretty pink wedding, I hope that you find some of these dress ideas useful. Let’s start with the wedding gown itself. Personally, I like to think outside the box so the thought of a wedding gown with a tinge of pink is quite appealing to me. In the photo collage below, you can see two gown selections that have a blush pink tone which is subtle. I’m not a fan of true pink wedding dresses….I suggest reserving those for the bridesmaids. Another wedding gown and flower girl dress option is to choose a classic white or ivory gown that is accented with a chocolate sash or a touch of pink on the train or bodice. Choose something that compliments the color of your bridesmaid dresses.

And speaking of dresses for the bridesmaids, I personally like the main dress color to be brown with accents of pink.  The reason I like brown dresses is because brown comes in a wide variety of hues and tints so you can easily find a color that you like.  Brown also looks good on just about any skin tone while shades like pink can look horrible on some people (personally I have very fair skin and pink washes me out even more).  If you choose brown dresses, you can bring pink into the color scheme by using pink accents such as flowers, hair pieces, jewelry, or sashes/lace/piping on the dress itself.  You can see some of my favorite brown bridesmaid dresses in the montage below.  Be sure to click through on the links below the photo to see the resources for any dress that you like.

Brides can incorporate pink wedding flowers with so many fantastic color schemes so I thought I’d put together a collage of some of my favorite bridal bouquet and reception centerpiece selections. Whether you are having a pink and white; pink and chocolate; pink, black and white; or a pink-accented weddings, you have numerous choices when it comes to pink flowers. Pink is a classic, feminine flower choice that is known to signify love and romance so what better choice for a wedding?

You can see some of my favorite pink flower choices in the photo below.  If you are on a budget like most brides, then you should consider the season when selecting your pink flowers.  For instance, tulips are obviously much more affordable in the Spring, while hydrangea blooms are more affordable in mid to late summer.  Other lovely choices include gerbera daisies, carnations, stargazer lilies (my favorite), peonies and of course roses.  Pink flowers also work well in mixed bouquets when you want to incorporate a few other colors.  Their versatility makes pink one of the most popular colors for bridal flowers today.  And how appropriate that this is being posted on Valentine’s Day….the perfect day for pink!

Using brown combined with pink, Tiffany blue, or orange (for fall weddings) has been one of the hottest trends over the last few years.  Our designers searched the web for some of their favorite pink and brown wedding items to create this lovely board. 

Due to the popularity of this color scheme, it is fairly easy to find invitations, dresses and accessories that incorporate brown and pink.  We love the use of stargazer lilies and pink roses to add a splash of pink to both the bridal bouquet and reception centerpieces.  When in season, pink mop-head hydrangeas can also be a great flower for centerpieces.  They are stunning and the fill the vase with just a few stems making them quite affordable when they are in season.  Be on the lookout for more pink flower ideas in one of our future Here Come The Blog posts.
