50 Shades of Pink

Pinks for Weddings

We've had posts on alternatives to the Western European wedding dress-which I call the "exploded cake"-and realized we missed a colour: pink. Yes, pink.

For westerners, a pink wedding dress can be tricky: too light it looks childish, too dark, it's a prom or hideous bridesmaid dress. Besides, I've only seen it work once: Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel's wedding.

However, India got it right. India, which I love to call the "nation that is not afraid of colour" has used pink in all of it's splendid hues: palest to peachy to magenta to Rani (a bright hot pink).

So, if you want a fusion wedding and don't want white-like me-and you're not feeling cream, then go for a pink.  If you're unsure, go for a light pink, and for the bold, go Rani.
