Pink Flowers for a Wedding
Pink flowers are a classic choice for a wedding, but you may be surprised at how many different ways pink flowers can be styled. From dainty and feminine to muted and earthy, or from summer pink flowers to hearty pink winter berries. Pink is an incredibly versatile color for your wedding flowers, and a great way to express your personal taste.
For Melissa and Matt, their pink wedding decor was inspired by and reflected the rustic rural setting for their big day. With the wooden accents of the venue and the deep greens of the landscape, it was important that their pink wedding flowers felt aligned with the setting of their celebration.
They achieved the perfect balance of pink tones by making a lot of their own floral arrangements, mixing and matching color collections, and tweaking pre-made bouquets to suit their style. Here are some of the Ling’s Moment faux flower collections that they used at different points throughout their wedding:
Dusty Rose and Cream
Our Dusty Rose and Cream color collection exudes vintage romance and whimsical style, so it’s no wonder that Melissa and Matt were drawn to it. Combining flowers in shades of soft cream and dusty rose, this collection became the core of their wedding decor, as seen in details like their wedding arch.
White and Sage
While pink tones are always gorgeous, the beauty of basics can’t be understated. Our White and Sage color collection is a neutral dream, with tones of crisp white and stylish sage working as the perfect complementary color scheme. The groom even wore an elegant White and Sage boutonniere - a timeless look!
Blush and Cream
For a feminine touch with a dash of freshness, our Blush and Cream floral color collection is the perfect addition. With tones of pink reminiscent of the first spring blooms, this collection represents the hope of new love and starting a life together. There’s a reason the bride used this charming color palette as the base for her bouquet!
Chic Pink Wedding Ceremony
So, how did Melissa and Matt bring all of these color palettes together for their wedding? You’ll be impressed at how subtle their floral design is, and how they make pink tones work perfectly with their rustic wedding venue.
Triangle Wedding Arch
Melissa and Matt opted for a modern take on the traditional wedding arch with this stylish triangular option. Dusty Rose flowers added softness and romance to the rustic wood tones of the arch, which perfectly contrasted against the soft, draped linen backdrop. Together, this created the perfect background for their vows and that all-important first kiss.

Dainty Aisle Decor
To elevate the space and add some gorgeous detail for their guests, the couple draped small flower arrangements from the chairs along the wedding aisle. Their trailing ribbons in blush and white added texture and a subtle pop of color to the aisle.

Welcome Sign & Guest Book Table with Pink Flowers
To mark the occasion and add a personal touch, the couple had a welcome table with a personalized sign, photos and a place to leave cards. A guest table provides a sentimental touch for any wedding, and Melissa and Matt decorated theirs with free-standing flowers and small garlands in tones of blush, dusty rose and deep greens. Gorgeous!

Inviting Wedding Reception with Pink Accents
After the ceremony, it was time to celebrate! The reception venue was cozy and charming, with round guest tables and a head table for the newlyweds.
Pink Head Table Garland
To steal a moment together amongst the excitement of the day, Melissa and Matt opted for a romantic sweetheart table. The gorgeous floral garland adorning the table was a DIY creation using both blush and dusty rose flowers to create the ultimate bespoke table decor. Simple yet elegant, this is a great example of using our Designer Flower Boxes to create the exact look you’re after. Plus, they worked perfectly with the neon sign of their new name!

Using faux flowers in dusty rose and blush tones, the wreaths were then accented with the twinkling light of candles, the texture of pink linens, and the added detail of gold tableware.
