Tips for Coordinating Colors & Themes
While pink is always a vibe, it’s easy for a space to look tacky or overdone with too much of it. This is a bridal shower, after all. You don’t want to risk the space looking too juvenile or overdone.
To avoid this, pair your bride-to-be’s favorite shade of pink with a neutral accent color that will offer a visual contrast and help elevate the space. For example, hot pink looks great with gray with black.
Pale pinks pair well with creams or baby blues. Tropical pinks have lots of orange tones, so pair them with lush greens. Metallics pair well with any shade of pink and instantly make a space feel more modern.
The goal is to have your pink elements paired with your neutral of choice. This will keep your space reading “bridal shower” and help elevate your theme in a mature way.
That way, your bride will be blown away by her feminine, fun pink bridal shower theme!
