Ideas for a Black, Silver & Baby Pink Wedding

Brides don't have to be obvious to incorporate black, silver and baby pink into their wedding. Subtle selections of color work well.

A bride can express her personal taste through the colors of her wedding. Black, silver and baby pink are tasteful colors to combine, especially for an evening wedding. The contrast of the black and the baby pink is dramatic and really stands out against the white of the bride’s gown. Incorporate these colors into your happy event in creative ways.

Attire

Flower girl dresses often come in baby pink.

Bridesmaids’ dresses are one of the largest splashes of color in a wedding. Select baby pink gowns for the maids. A bride can also choose to do black or silver dresses with all-pink bouquets to showcase the wedding colors. A baby pink or black sash on the bride’s gown would be an elegant way to coordinate with the wedding. Grooms and their attendants will look dapper in black tuxedos and silver vests with matching black and silver ties. An alternative to the black and silver would be a baby pink tie for possibly just the groom.

Printed Materials

Hire a calligrapher to address your invitations with silver ink.

Your invitation is the first impression guests get of your wedding. You can set the tone with the color and style of the invite. A black invitation with silver ink is a stunning way to invite people to your wedding. You can accentuate it with a baby pink ribbon or band or use a monogram of your combined initials on the invites in a silver ink. The programs are another way to highlight your wedding colors. Coordinate them with the invitation by using a similar design and color scheme. Table cards, favor tags and thank you notes also can use the same design.

Tables

Peonies come in a pastel baby pink.

Wedding linens are the pops of color in the reception room. Dress your tables with a black table cloth, a baby pink square topper and a silver overlay. If you are using chair covers, tie them with baby pink bows. Use a silver stand to hold the table number at each table. Centerpieces can showcase pink flowers with silver and black ribbons and marbles in the vases. Silver candelabras or candlesticks with black candles would fit well for a minimalistic styled wedding.

Small Details

Don a pink garter for your special day.

Wedding colors do not have to be an obvious part of the design. Using your colors in the small details of the event will create a cohesive feel to the wedding. Have guests sign your wedding book or album with black and silver inked pens. The flower girl can toss silver confetti as an alternative to flower petals. Have the bartender create a signature baby pink drink for the guests at the reception. Select a wedding cake flavor, such as strawberry or raspberry, that is pink when you slice the cake. Brides can also surprise guests with a pop of wedding color by wearing baby pink shoes. The guests will not see it until it is time to do the garter toss.
