Wedding Colors: Mint & Pink
Monday, August 17, 2015
My wedding colors was something I didn't make a final decison on until I started
wedding planning. Even before I was engaged, I would think about what
my colors would be. When I thought I knew, I would change my mind
again. My favorite color is pink, but I didn't want that to be the main
focal point, since I wanted to find a color that Kwang would like too.
We decided on a royal blue with silver at first. It moved onto tiffany
blue, and robins egg blue. After I got engaged, I discussed wedding
colors with my friends, and it seemed like all of them also had a shade
of blue in mind. I didn't want to have a color that everyone else would
have (even if I am getting married before most of them) so I went back
to drawing board. Finally, the color mint came to mind. It was
perfect. It's a unique color with a blend of blue and green (there are
so many variations of it, a cool ice blue to a green sage). It seems it
is a popular and modern wedding color nowadays. I think the focal point of your
wedding colors in the eyes of guests is the bridesmaid dresses. I searched long and
hard for the perfect shade and most affordable price (read about my
search HERE).
I designed pink and cream bouquets as the accent wedding colors. The
bouquets had a few
bright pink roses to add a pop of color. The groomsmen wore handmade
mint bow ties while the groom wore a light pink one. They also wore a
matching pocket square. Future tutorial to come. The pink boutineer
from the florist was brighter than I expected for the groomsmen but it
looked ok after seeing the whole bridal party come together. For my
bouquet I wanted it to be different and have a rustic look. I included
pink and cream peonies with peach Juliet garden roses.
Besides the bridal party, I laced my wedding colors throughout the wedding day. The caketoppers, wedding favors, photobooth and menu logo, and our drink station all incorporated our wedding colors. At the end of the night, a guest said to me "I didn't realize how much wedding colors mattered until this wedding" That made me really happy, that guests were able to notice how wedding colors can play a big role on your wedding day.
I really love how my drink station came out. I took an old wooden cart from my basement and spray painted it white. Do you see the subtle color hints even in the drinks? The mason jar drink dispensers had Pink Lemonade and Green Tea with ginseng and honey. They were placed on top of 2 wood slices that I got from A.C. Moore. I used a grey wooden box to hold clear plastic cups. I used 3 blue pint mason jars to hold mint and pink striped straws with gold glitter flags that we made. I couldn't find more rustic pieces in time to decorate the bottom of the cart so I used the wooden I & K sign that my friend made for my bridal shower. The colors and setup of this decor looked really great together.

Yeah dear, I also had planned a wedding at best New York venues myself and invited couple of friends and family. I faced some problem during planning games but all in all it was fun and co-incidentally I also used the same color.
