There's a reason why "pretty in pink" is such a popular phrase, and it doesn't have everything to do with the Molly Ringwald film. Feminine, elegant, and always fresh, pink shades are clearly having a moment. The hue has defined an entire generation—we've hopped on the millennial pink bandwagon, too—making blush and sugar pinks trendier than ever. Of course, the sweet shade is more than a fleeting fad, which makes it the perfect color for both classic and contemporary weddings.
Take the following pink-centric floral centerpieces, for example. Bursting with blooms and color, these refined displays add polish to reception tables. We loved how these florists incorporated complimentary hues into the arrangements—think burgundy, grays, and creams—to ensure the pink creations didn't feel to precious. In fact, that's one of the best parts about using the shade—it's incredibly versatile. Depending on the hues surrounding it, pink can feel girlish and sweet, moody and modern, or perfectly traditional. The ultimate vibe is up to you.
There are also so many different ways to display the shade. We love how one couple opted for cloche-covered centerpieces, which consisted of barely-pink ranunculus encased in romantic glass. Another standout? Incredibly unique vessels, including Grecian-inspired planters, vintage brass bowls, and ceramic vases, that were used throughout. There's clearly no limit to making blush, fuchsia, and magenta look their best. Click through to see our favorite pink centerpieces of the moment—they just might inspire your own.
