Pink, long associated with femininity, has finally ditched its girls-only stigma and trickled its way into events, homewares and menswear.
Noticed the pink ties and cuff links floating around lately? Well, we have - and we love them! Pink is a fantastic theming colour and it's about time the boys jumped on board!

Legend has it the colour was named after delicate English blooms, a logical explanation of its undying bouquet popularity. Gently-hued roses, peonies, tulips and lilies are all famed bouquet additions, adding a delicate hint of colour to any bridal ensemble.
Pink flowers can act as a neutral base in a multi-coloured bouquet, or can steal the limelight when used en masse.

Antique pinks are becoming a popular choice for vintage-themed weddings, popping up in lace touches, coloured goblets and cute, personalised signs.
The pastel version also sits effortlessly alongside baby blues, light greens, barely-there yellows and soft lilacs for a gelati-inspired palette.

Need an eye-catching feature at your reception? Why not incorporate a pink theme into a dessert/lolly buffet - sweets like pillowy pink marshmallows, macarons and cupcakes topped with swirls of pink icing create huge impact when grouped together.
Pink or coral cocktails can be a beautiful, (and yummy) ceremony/reception addition too- serve in feature glasses or cute vintage bottles for an instant hit of style.

But pink doesn't always have to be subtle. Bright, popping fuchsias are also a popular accent colour, a flattering choice for bridesmaids dresses or accessories.
For some fun and unexpected theming colour combinations, try bright pink teamed with a pastel blue, or a saturated fuchsia alongside a natural, moss green.

Or, if your groom is feeling brave, dress him in a light pink shirt and tie teamed with a grey suit - such a beautiful colour combination.
Just make sure you remind him - it takes a real man to pull off pink!
