55 Colorful Wedding Ideas to Make Your Big Day Pop

Choose a Sweet Sparkler

A pink stone engagement ring puts a hint of your favorite hue on your left hand forever. This ring with a round, pale pink center stone surrounded by diamonds is a slightly unexpected twist on a traditional style. Elaborate pink diamonds and more accessible pink sapphires offer a cut and setting for every bride. Not willing to commit to a shaded stone? Opt for a rose gold band with traditional diamonds instead.

Wearing a length of pink tulle as a veil can provide a soft, feminine complement to wedding gowns of any style. We love how this bride donned a blush design to pair with her lehenga and dupatta at her Florida wedding. You can also include smaller pink accents, like embroidered flower petals, on your veil for a subtle rosy touch.

Pick Pink Pumps

If an all-pink dress is more of a commitment than you want to make, add smaller pops of color with bright pink shoes, like this sparkling pair worn by a bride for her Brooklyn rooftop wedding. The shape and pointed toe keep the shoe as formal as any other wedding heel, but the color and shimmer add a festive accent to a traditional gown.

Nail It

Whether they choose layers of pale pink polish or a subtle shade to pair with a French manicure, many brides turn to shades of pink for a classic wedding day manicure. Dusty rose or bubblegum shades are slightly bolder beauty choices that won’t distract from the rest of your look. For her elegant Boston wedding, this bride painted her nails an aptly named OPI shade called Baby, Take a Vow.

Coordinate Your Attire

Since pink is such a versatile color, it can easily be used to coordinate two different outfits. At a Pennsylvania wedding, the bride donned a second-hand, pale pink ball gown she found by chance at a vintage boutique. To match his new spouse, the groom wore a blush pinstripe shirt and bow tie.

Lean all the way into your favorite shade with matching outfits for a rehearsal dinner or morning-after brunch.

Pink is a go-to shade for bridesmaids’ dresses for a reason. It comes in a spectrum of hues from neutral to bold, flatters every skin tone, and complements nearly every floral color palette. The bride at this French-inspired wedding told her bridesmaids they could choose from several hues for their dresses. In the end, they were all thinking pink and opted for matching dusty rose frocks.

Incorporating bright bougainvillea into your floral design is a striking way to add a pink hue, but it makes an even more dramatic statement when it’s the centerpiece of your design. At this Brazilian wedding, an overhead installation of the colorful flower looked incredible as it floated over the guests heads at the reception.

If you prefer your pink in small doses, add it to your table settings with pink glassware, rosy candles, or bold pops of bright pink in the centerpieces. Other neutral elements, like wooden tables and white napkins, can be used to temper the bright shade.
