Valentine’s day is fast approaching and I’ve been seeing a huge influx of pink weddings. I think that pink is just one of the most romantic colors and it can be universally flattering when you wear the appropriate shade. A pink wedding would definitely make a great Valentine’s Day wedding theme.

Although most brides wear white, wearing a pink wedding gown could be really gorgeous! If you’re not into the pink for yourself, definitely consider getting some pink gowns for your bridesmaids and accenting your groom with some pink touches such as a pocket handkerchief or tie.

For your decorations, be sure to incorporate different shades of pink to mix things up. Add some touches of white for a softer accent or go for bolder hues. For your table settings, you might consider adding some light pink napkins tied with a ribbon or put out some baskets filled with rose petals to hold your escort cards.

Have your florist create a pink wreath with different kinds of flowers and tied with a few ribbons. Accent your chairs with some pink garlands, and you might even want to fill some pink rose teacups with piles of costume jewelry for a whimsical conversation piece.

As for the dessert, serve your guests some pink lemonade, pink rock candy, pink macarons, and top it off with a pink cake accented with some ribbons, flowers, and even a pomegranate. Your guests will never be in a more loving mood!

With Valentine’s Day approaching, there are many couples who will soon be engaged or may be planning a Valentine’s Day Wedding. Some of you brides may even be planning a bridal shower to take place a couple weeks before the date. With those thoughts in mind, this bridal shower theme is heavily inspired by Sophia Coppola’s picturesque movie– Marie Antoinette.

To set the scene, you could host a destination event in Paris or bring Paris to your guests. Set the scene with a pastel color palette focusing on soft pinks and blues. You can also host the event at a Parisian style tea house, or host a slumber party to truly give your girls an indulgent treat.

For your decor, anything feminine and classic will do the trick. Place pastel roses inside vintage vases, set out your best rosebud china, and accent the piece with plenty of ribbons and large feathers.

To set the scene, invite your guests with an elegant invitation with some pink accents. Set up some tables with an elegant tablecloth and place some petit fours on each plate along with a heart shaped tea strainer that they can later take home as their bridal shower favor. Another great tea party favor idea is to give them all some heart shaped sugar in little plastic tubes.

To truly make this a Marie Antoinette-inspired bridal shower, you must have a fabulous dessert selection. It is rumored that Marie Antoinette is the person who said “Let them eat cake” and so, your dessert buffet should be laden with plenty of decadent cakes with everything from whipped cream toppings to perfectly styled fondant cakes. Set out some macarons to pay homage to Paris and toast the night with some champagne.

Tell your best girls to come in their frilliest, girliest, pastel attire. Wear some flowery shoes such as these lovely Christian Louboutin strappy sandals, bring out some hand fans, and place some flowers in your hair to bring out your inner Marie Antoinette. Don’t forget to pile your hair extra high and perhaps pair it with a lovely pink dress.
