You know that they come in all colors, thicknesses, and multiple types of fabric, so why not take advantage of this and incorporate ribbon into your ceremony and reception?!

Hues You’ll Heart: Pink Lemonade

Pink lemonade is my FAVORITE summer time drink. It is so refreshing, delicious, and just darn good to look at! That got me thinking… what about a pink lemonade inspired spring/summer wedding?! I love pinks, and I love yellows, so why not join the two and make a pink lemonade wedding. The colors compliment each other beautifully and make for a great palette. Feel free to add warm oranges, navy blues, or relaxing greens- adding a more subtle color adds personalization and balance. One of my favorite ideas to incorporate pink and yellow is seen in one of the photos below. I love the idea of a bold patterned yellow table runner with beautiful pink dishes and/or flowers. It makes for a fresh, modern, fun twist on such a traditional color palette.
