What does the color pink signify in marriage?

Many say that pink represents the idea of nurturing, playfulness, affection, harmony and inner peace. According to event planner and wedding expert Dee Lee of Dee Lee Designs in Pasadena, California, pink is "the universal color of love. It is light and airy. It is timeless and elegant." Lee goes on to explain that "there is a psychology to the type of emotions colors evoke. The color pink has always been associated with romance, love, devotion and elegance."

Lee notes that Millennial pink, which is considered a pop-culture phenomenon is generally considered to be "feminine, elegant, and high-end. Its brings that subtle bling to your wedding day. It is not gaudy but the perfect accent to give pink some flair." As for blush, the expert explains that the color is "calming and creates a sense of sophistication. It is a soft, dreamy, yet elegant color that goes well with a multitude of colors and complements various skin tones."

What colors go with pink for a wedding?

Pink is a popular color for a reason–it goes with a lot of colors. According to Lee, "there are so many ways to go about designing a pink wedding. Depending on the vibe you are trying to set for your wedding it can a principal color or an accent to your wedding design. Pink pairs well with other pastel colors. Additionally, pink ombré palettes are a beautiful mix of soft and vivid tones."

Blush Pink and Gold

Blush and gold is a classic combination. If you're hosting a romantic wedding in a ballroom or at a historic estate, this is a great color palette to consider.

Dusty Rose and Turquoise

Dusty rose and turquoise can work in a number of different settings. The pairing would pop at a modern art museum for minimalist nuptials, but would also look stunning at a vineyard or desert venue for boho "I dos."

Berry Pink and Navy

We love the richness of berry and, when paired with navy, it has a fun preppy-and-nautical feel. This duo would work especially well for fall or winter weddings along the coast.

Hot Pink and Slate Gray

Gray adds a unique and modern feel to any palette. If you're looking for a sleek, au courant color palette, this is the look for you.

Dusty Rose and Forest Green

Getting married at a mountain resort? Maybe you're tying the knot under towering redwoods in Northern California. Dusty rose and forest green are a beautiful combo for a rustic-meets-romantic wedding in nature.
