Pink Weddings Guide

Nothing is cuter than seeing that little girl walk down the aisle while throwing petals down the aisle. Of course, if you’re unlucky, like me, you’ll get two flower girls who get shell-shocked as they walk down the aisle and forget all about the petals (they also stole the show haha). Little girls, much likes big ones, like to be a part of your big day, mostly because of the pretty dresses. Since pink is a color 90% of little girls love, it’s the perfect flower girl dresses. There are also many different types of pink flower girl dresses for whatever type of wedding you want.

Flower girl dresses can be found at any wedding shop, but House of Brides offers a really good selection of dresses. Another great place is Amazon.com. They have a smaller selection of just flower girl dresses. It’s a smaller selection than wedding boutiques, but still pretty big. The prices are perfect and at both shops you can find a vast array of other things a flower girl might need.

Flower girls need more than just a dress. They also need the basket for the petals. While you can decorate your own basket with ribbons and things, but the ones online are really inexpensive. However, even with all that’s going on with a wedding making something simple and pretty, like a flower basket.

The flower girl also can wear little things like gloves, hair accessories, tights and jewelry. Most little girls love anything with bows and frills, but especially anything pink. For the accessories think shiny, flowery, frilly and bright.

You can find little girls gloves in just about any department store, but it’s my opinion that buying everything in one place is the best option. In that vein I recommend sticking with Amazon.com and getting everything you need for the flower girl dress and accessories there. Other stores may have different options, but Amazon has it all and that’s a real money saver. Girls don’t much care about how much you spend on their outfits. All they care about is things that are cool and pretty.

A really terrific thing that girls love is jewelry. You can find kids jewelry for around a buck or two and the flower girl will just love it. There isn’t any need to find expensive jewelry. Likewise you can find some really cute headbands with flowers or rhinestones.

If you’re not exceptionally particular about the exact nature of the dress, jewelry or anything else, you might consider letting the flower girl pick her own little pink dress and jewelry. She’ll probably go a little over the top but it will be super cute.

Sometimes a bride chooses a pink wedding dress and sometimes she chooses pink bridesmaids dresses. On very rare occasions a bride may choose both; a soft pink dress for herself and a bright or dark pink dress for her wedding party. That’s the great thing about pink; it goes well with a lot of colors, and even better within its own spectrum.

One of my favorite combinations is the black and pink, which has a more modern feel. I love the idea of bridesmaids and bride in mixtures of pink. The bridesmaids can add small black accessories; like a headband or black belt. The look of black and pink has a more modern feel; if that’s the style of wedding you’re looking to have.

Another modern theme with pink uses brown. In fact, brown and pink look so good together, they make a lasting impression. And, the biggest bonus, brown means chocolate! Chocolate cake, chocolate favors, chocolate everything. Yum!

If you’re looking for a more country theme, a soft pale pink is really the perfect style of dress for bridesmaids. Add a little romantic lace or gingham and the pink is perfect. What you don’t want to do is look like a bad movie about milkmaids and farmers. The idea of a country theme is to have a homey or western feel. Pink bridesmaids dresses are the perfect fit to that type of theme.

One of the more popular themes today is the Hollywood theme. For this theme, one of the best types of dress you can order is a pink bridesmaid dress that resembles the dress Marilyn Monroe wore in How to Marry a Millionaire. Of course that dress was fuchsia, but it is a gorgeous style and perfect for a glamorous Hollywood style. Another type of Marilyn dress, which looks really similar, is the lighter pink one she wore in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. Both dresses are a fairly tight fit and not best for bridesmaids with larger hips. Not because they wouldn’t look good in them, but because they’re more difficult to fit on both hip and chest.

One great idea I’ve always liked is mixed bridesmaids dresses. You can get as many different shades of pink bridesmaids dresses for each gal. I love the look of different colors but all the same style of dress. Even different patterns can look really great, especially for the maid of honor. It’s quite exceptionally pretty in the photographs. If you can’t get several shades of pink that work together, you might consider going for a mix of other colors, while you wear the pink. =).

There are several places to buy bridesmaids dresses, but only a few that have really great prices. The first one I’d recommend is Amazon.com. The problem is that there is a limited selection of dresses there, but they have incredible prices. For more selection I recommend House of Brides Bridesmaid Dresses. They have an enormous selection and some pretty great prices too. Lastly, I recommend Lightinthebox.com. They have so many dresses and ridiculously low prices. The quality is great too. Pink bridesmaid dresses at Lightinthebox.com.

You may be wondering why I’ve only mentioned online shops. Well I bought my own wedding dress online and I found the price so reasonable that it was an experience that I recommend for every woman. The prices are a hundred times better than at local boutiques, at least that is what I’ve found during my shopping experiences. If you’re looking for a pink bridesmaid dress, you’ll find the best deals online.

One of the hardest things to find is wedding dresses that aren’t white or ivory. And when you’re planning pink wedding theme, you may want a different shade. Pink wedding dresses aren’t unheard of, but they are difficult to find. Brides who want to be a little different often have to buy pageant, Quinceañera and formal dresses. Designers are catching on though and now you can find a pink wedding dress in many different styles of actual “wedding dresses”. House of Brides is a great place to start looking.

So if you’re shopping for pink wedding gowns, where can you find exactly what you want? There are a few options you can do. Firstly you can have the gown specially made using a seamstress near your house. You can also have a dress specially made online. Lightinthebox.com offers many dresses you see on their site (see below) made in any color. The prices are superb and having a dress specially made means less alterations. The alterations for my wedding gown were nearly $200, that’s about average for any gown with beading. A specially made dress may need a little alteration, but 95% of it will already be done.

I love the idea of a wedding dress that is unique and different. A pink wedding dress is beautiful, but it’s also unique. I’ve written about red wedding dresses, black wedding dresses, sexy wedding dresses, but pink offers a few different unique qualities that those don’t have.

While many brides love tradition, they still want to stand out, and have their wedding stand out. Pastel pink wedding dresses offer brides the chance to be different, while still not going too far outside of tradition. Pink is feminine, pretty, and soft. It’s like adding a dash of Tabasco to soup or a little pepper to your salad. It’s that subtle splash of color that gives a hint of boldness while still maintaining beauty and tradition.

To completely stand out, a bright fuchsia dress might be the answer. But remember there are plenty of shades of pink dresses that work for a wedding dress. While you may not find a “wedding dress” in fuchsia, you can use any of the options I mentioned above; have it specially made, use a pageant dresses, Quinceañera dresses or cocktail/ball gowns.

There isn’t any hard and fast rule about wearing white on your wedding day in today’s modern era. Brides are wearing black, red, yellow and any number of other colors (purple is even popular nowadays). Pink is bright, pretty and perfect for a bride. It’s part of the red spectrum which is known for passion and love. Red is passion and fire and pink is closeness and romance. Isn’t that the idea behind a marriage? A pink wedding gown the perfect symbol of a bride because it’s also associated with femininity.




One shade of pink used in wedding gowns is the romantic, vintage looking “rum pink”. Rum pink is a very, very light shade of pink that almost looks like an ivory or champagne color until you see it in some lighting. It’s quite beautiful and most of the time is used in lace. A number of couture gowns use rum pink wedding dresses, but, as couture, they’re expensive. Alternatively, you can get a dress from lightinthebox.com, which have a number of inexpensive wedding dresses. Celebrity Wedding Dresses at LightInTheBox.com.Go get Avril Lavigne’s dress. .

Wearing a pink wedding dress on your special day is something only a bride can decide, but if you ask me, it’s the right decision. Besides the lovely color, the symbolism it represents is also quite romantic, perfect for pink weddings.
