Perfect Pair: Pink and Gold

Looking for some inspired styling? Why not try out this perfect palette?

PINK & GOLD

Play modern vintage elements against glamorous accent pieces in a palette of pink and gold glitter. Stylist Judi Blinco of vintage furniture and props hire company Little Gray Station knows how to bring old and new together.

STYLING DETAILS

I wanted to create detailed but easy- on-the-eye areas that can be replicated at a real wedding. Vintage French doors and shutters as the bridal table backdrop are a statement, softened by glamorous handmade gold paper flowers. Vintage vessels were set off beautifully by a gold sequinned runner.

The cake display featured beautifully detailed cupcakes and an elegant two-tier gold foil cake together with stationery tags. Other stationery included guest names and table numbers on drinking straws; menus; invitations; sweets tags; guest name tags and more. Judi Blinco, Little Gray Station.

HOW CAN I WORK THESE IDEAS INTO MY WEDDING?

Do not be scared to experiment with colour. Start with two strong colours and one neutral colour and add bursts of complementing colours throughout your wedding. If you like the idea and look of mixing vintage décor with modern glam as we have done here, select areas in your wedding that are a focal point such as the cake/dessert table; guest book table or gift table to display a little modern-vintage. Judi Blinco, Little Gray Station.
