Pink has always been a favorite among brides. Pairing a pale, blush pink with classic black details might help the fiance feel a little more comfortable with this soft, somewhat feminine color. Pink and ivory bouquets featuring fluffy peonies would be beautiful against little black dresses for the bridesmaids. Perhaps the maid of honor could wear a pale pink dress to set her apart. The groom and groomsmen could wear black suits with pale pink ties or pink socks for a hidden touch of whimsy. Pink details in the reception décor can be set against black linens and classic black chiavari chairs. Classic wedding invitations printed in black ink on ecru paper would start things off just right.
