Looking for a positively perfect way to infuse the grey landscape of winter with a little pizzaz? Try a pop of pink! Always a tried & true favorite on the wedding circuit, pink takes on a new, resort-worthy look when paired with neutral - yet warm & luxe - tan shades!

Where you pair rustic-chic burlap with sassy coral tones for an enticing table top, or you surprise guests with subtle pink layers in a decadent wedding cake, pink & tan is sure to induce fond feelings of sunshine, style & true romance.

This retro-kitschy garland makes use of a mishmash of beads, baubles and thrift store finds. Work with what's in your environment, whether that means hanging this garland from a vintage car, between trees, or across a reception table or dessert bar. Attach the fabric rosettes, bows, lace and other trimmings - we added a vintage tea cup - to a ribbon of your choice. For an additional DIY treat, wrap wooden letters, whether they spell out your names, "Mr. & Mrs.," "Hitched," or "Just Married," in crocheted doilies, scrap lace or fabric for some added DIY-fun.

A juice bar can serve as the perfect pop of color at any wedding venue. With flavors ranging from simple strawberry lemonade to exotic pineapple basil, the colors and combinations can be as unique as the bride. Cute containers with homemade labels can add that extra something special for a DIY bride, or simple glass jars can let the beverages speak for themselves.    

This adorable paint swatch chandelier from Hey Gorgeous blog is perfect for the DIY bride. The color combinations can be customized to perfectly match any palette. This project uses LOTS of paint swatches, so may require several trips to the store, but otherwise uses materials you might already have at home. Try using a different paper punch to match the theme of your wedding, or patterned scrapbook paper for more inspiration.

Blush, peony, pink can be the height of soft girlishness, or exquisitely subdued. It can transform your wedding into a truly ethereal affair. Use this color in anything from your bouquet, to your wedding cake, to the dresses in your line of bridesmaids. This shade of blush pink is a perfect color for any wedding, from seaside soirees, to cute countryside gatherings.

Even though it was their big day, Andrea and Blair wanted their guests to enjoy their wedding ceremony to the fullest as they were already overjoyed knowing they would soon be sharing forever with the person of their dreams. "Every decision that went into the wedding planning was framed by the question, 'Does this make for a great guest experience?'" Andrea says. The couple tied the knot in Vero Beach, Florida which meant a good bit of traveling for their guests, who were coming mostly from Atlanta, Georgia and Tallahassee, Florida.
