Incorporating Pink on Your Special Day

Feel free to fully embrace the trendy Barbie core color!  

 

To achieve the desired look, you don't have to go all out with pink from head to toe. Our recommendation is to select shades of pink and combine them with neutral colors or delicate creamy details.  

 

By keeping the major elements of your wedding decor neutral, you can maintain a refined and sophisticated aesthetic. For subtle yet stylish touches, consider incorporating pink accents in your invitations and custom signage, adding a touch of the Barbie aesthetic without overwhelming it. From bright pink hues to capturing the laid-back Malibu Beach vibes, you'll have plenty of options to choose from. 

 

It's time to let your inner Barbie shine and create a wedding celebration that's as stylish and vibrant as can be!
