It Had to be Pink

Pink Wedding Flowers, originally uploaded by whitneyenglish.

When you subscribe to the theory, “too much is never enough”, it can be hard to decide on certain favorites. As a designer, it makes editing a challenging task.

Over the years, my favorite color has fascilated. During the high school years of teenage agnst, I was a big dark green fan. Post college, I’ve gone through a heavy aqua phase, painting almost any room a shade of that graceful green-blue. And I’ve always been partial to muted colors; I love the washed-out yellow shades of vintage textiles (in decorating, they can be very forgiving.)

But I always come back to pink. I always buy pink toothbrushes, pink workout clothes, pink lipstick, and pink cable knit sweaters. (Oh, I’m a sucker for pink cable knit).

So when it came time to choose colors for our wedding, I looked at other options, but I just couldn’t commit. The white roses were too plain, the red ones too harsh, the blue hydrangeas were just too casual. I had to have giant pink garden roses, peonies.

Above, pictures from The Knot, have acted as a starting inspiration point.
