Pink weddings have been popular and in the public eye ever since Julia Roberts said, “My colors are blush and bashful” and her mom retorted “Your colors are pink and pink!” in Steel Magnolias. A traditional pink bridesmaid gown is a choice that I see often as a Chicago wedding photographer, and I think it’s a great one– bridesmaids can wear pink dresses again, most shades of pink look good on most women, and of course, it’s easy to match pink dresses to pink flora for decoration.There are also a million different ways to style a pink wedding, so even though it’s a popular choice, it can still express your individuality!
Meredith and Wes went pink with their flowers and bridesmaids’ gowns for their recent nuptials and it photographed beautifully. Pink, yellow, fuchsia, and purple showed up in the decorations, along with the coral pink dresses, but there are lots of ways to pair pink on your wedding day. Pink and white is a classic choice, pink and brown lends itself to a more casual feel, pink and orange is bright and cheerful, and pink and navy or indigo is a modern take. With a few distressed details, a pink wedding can become a shabby-chic affair.
Meredith added some great details that distinguished her pink wedding, too– I loved the rhinestone detail on her shoes and her bridal attire as she prepped for the big day with Livia Caporale for Sonia Roselli. Additionally, Elizabeth Wray did some great, original pieces for the tables at the reception, which was held at the Oak Brook Hills Resort. David Clawson of Perfect Pear Media caught the whole thing alongside me on video.
