What color bouquet for a pink bridesmaid dress?
It's interesting:"Oh. Is there a wedding going on? .... You may never see a wedding like this one again … not now that they've banned multi-buys on supermarket booze. ..."
Pink is a universally flattering color, so it's no wonder it is perpetually popular for bridesmaids. These days, even blushing brides are getting into the act, wearing pale rose colored gowns instead of white -- for example, Reese Witherspoon's tulle confection by Monique Lhuillier. If you want your bridal party to be pretty in pink, you can choose from plenty of colors in the palette, from icy pale rose to coral to bright raspberry. Choose your bouquet -- and your bridesmaids' -- to suit the gowns and the time of year.
Spring
Pink roses, tulips or peonies are traditional choices. Martha Stewart Weddings suggests a palette of sheer citrus and pink for a watercolor effect. Alternately, consider peaches and cream, with pale Majolica roses, phalaenopsis orchids and amaryllis. TheKnot.com shows a simple all-white bouquet of roses, hydrangeas and calla lilies with a pale-pink bridesmaid dress- in another option, bridesmaids in coral-hued dresses carry flowers of orange, peach, pink and green.
Summer
Bridesmaids wearing flower-bright fuschia carried light pink roses tied with ivory ribbon in TheKnot.com. For even more color, include roses of fuschia, white and red in the mix. Bright pinks with lots of greenery are another good seasonal bouquet. For coral, light pink and soft pink are good complements.
Fall
Weddings with an autumn theme often have more muted colors. Martha Stewart Weddings suggests pairing shell pink or rose with gold, or a romantic, vintage soft pink and peach arrangement tied with pink and brown ribbon. Or try a rustic look. Both Martha Stewart Weddings and Brides suggest arrangements including blush, browns, beige and green. If it complements the gowns, include yellow or even gray in the mix.
Winter
Snowball white bouquets and ice-white arrangements are perpetually popular. Martha Stewart Weddings suggests nosegays of fir, pine, cedar and berries, tied in brown and pink houndstooth wool. Or carry traditional white flowers with pine cones. Another season-bright favorite is back: Martha Stewart Weddings suggests a pink and poppy pairing.
