Dark Gray & Hot Pink Wedding Themes
A well-executed theme gives a wedding direction. When you choose a color scheme as your theme, you have a challenge to tastefully unite clothes, decorations and activities under these colors. Dark gray and hot pink are two bold colors to put together, making them ideal for a non-traditional wedding celebration.

Fashion Show Wedding
-
Challenge guests to see who can get the most creative with your color theme. Tell guests to dress to the nines in a hot pink and dark gray combination. Set up a long stage and start the reception with a fashion show. Choose willing participants ahead of time or pick names randomly out of a hat. Play some fast paced music and have your models walk to showcase their creative ideas. The groom and bride start and finish the fashion show with two intricate outfits that help bring attention to them on their special occasion.
Punk Rock Wedding
-
A flashy color like hot pink makes you think of punk rock. If you want to put a wild twist on the traditional wedding, require guests to come in punk rock attire using a dark gray and hot pink color scheme. Torn pants and shirts, armbands, jewelry, spiky hair and high-heeled shoes are only the beginning of the possibilities.

Celebrity Outfits
-
Require guests to mimic a celebrity outfit using the colors hot pink and dark gray. Refer to the Internet, magazines, television shows and movies and scan the likes of Madonna, Nicki Minaj, P. Diddy, Kanye West, Lady GaGa and other daredevil superstars that like to play dress up. Each guest picks a celebrity to mimic and remakes her costume as best as possible to wear to the wedding. Guests bring a copy of the picture they mimicked and the bride and groom choose their favorite duplicate.
Modern Victorian Wedding
-
The Martha Stewart website notes that although pink is often seen as a fun, girly color, it can become tailored and refined when paired with a sophisticated color such as gray. Put a modern spin on a Victorian wedding with dark gray and hot pink Victorian style clothing for men and women, intricate gray and pink table settings for high tea and a fully decorated garden party where ladies and gentleman can mix and mingle at the reception. Watch movies such as "Pride and Prejudice" for inspiration on costumes and decorations.
