There's no better way to communicate "romance" than pastel colors. Dreamy pinks, blues, purples, and yellows represent the playful happiness that comes with falling in love. So, it's no wonder that so many people have pastel wedding receptions and decorations. However, we're sure that you want to stand out from the rest even when using such a popular theme. Consider these four ideas for a pastel wedding you'll never forget.
1. Don't Create Just a Garden — Create an Entire Forest
One of the easiest ways to use pastel colors in your wedding is to focus on flowers — but, why stop there? We associate pastels with springtime when nature begins to thrive. Try complementing pastel flowers with natural elements in light colors. Woodland creatures like
birds and
butterflies make your wedding truly feel alive.
Mossy and wooden decorations further establish an earthy feel. Finish the look with leaves and
ivy to add a pop of lively green.
2. Go for a Fairy Tale Theme
Everyone deserves a happily ever after. Embrace the whimsy associated with pastels with fantastical elements straight out of a fairy tale. This approach lets you put heart into the event. What kind of story does the newlyweds' romance tell? Maybe it resembles that of Cinderella and Prince Charming, including a
pumpkin and carriage. Or, perhaps the happy couple goes on adventures like Alice's, with a trip down the rabbit hole and colorful mushrooms.
3. Pick a Base Color to Make Your Pastels Pop
You don't have to use pastel colors entirely in your wedding palette. In fact, using them to accent a base color can give you ultimate control over your wedding's atmosphere. White decorations create an airy, romantic ambiance. For a luxurious and elegant mood, combine your pastels with gold items. You could even use wooden elements as a base to promote a natural atmosphere.
4. Be Fearless With Your Attire
You don't have to work with pastels in only your decorations. Pastel attire tops off the entire wedding's aesthetic. Brides willing to go the untraditional route can sport a pastel dress instead of the classic white or perhaps opt for a light-colored gown with a subtle cream, pink or blue tint. The bridesmaids can wear pastels of every color, or perhaps wear neutral colors while letting the bride offer the pop of color. Menswear doesn't have to come in black, brown or gray. Vests, pants, and blazers in light blues, pinks, and purples show that a groom and his party aren't afraid of expressing themselves. For a more conservative yet fun option, accent traditionally colored menswear with pastel pocket squares, ties, and suspenders.
