When you think of
colors that go with hot pink, do you see bright neon colors like neon pink,
lime green, and magenta? Do you think about pretty pastels like peach, brown,
and yellow? Or do you imagine a pale cool color like pale pink? If you have a
friend whose work often involves an artistically themed wedding or bridal
shower, let her know that you want to incorporate one of these colors into your
theme. If you cannot decide which shade to use, consider a complementary shade
such as pale pink.
The palette of colors
that goes with hot pink can be a difficult challenge. You love the color and it
so powerful, but it does not have a particularly elegant or fresh look to it.
It might make your skin look a bit reddish if you choose to accent it with too
many bright hues. If you are planning on wearing your bridesmaids' gown in this
hue, then you may wish to select a shade of pink that is a bit cooler and more
understated.
One way to blend hot
pink into your design is to pair it with an equally intense shade of black. Hot
pink and black can be a very striking duo, especially when the pink is used in
bridal wear or accessories. You can choose to match the two colors with
complementary accessories like black heels and black purses and shoes. A black
updo can also help pull the two shades together.
Although pink tends to
be more natural than inspired, it does not have to be. One way to incorporate
it into a more adventurous palette is to use greens, blues, and whites. These
bold colors can balance out the brightness of pink, creating a more luminescent
palette. To create this effect, choose an intense shade of a leafy green like
ruffly Valerian or baby's breath. You can further add green into your palette
by using seashells or coral accents on your wedding invitations and favor tags.
Another way to
incorporate more pink into your palette is to use it with brighter shades of
blue. The cool, fresh tones of these hues can balance out hot pink, making the
overall look more fun and dynamic. To do this, choose shades of blue that are
closer to white, such as ash gray or pure white. These color choices will also
make your hot pink look more dynamic and dramatic.
Finally, don't forget
about bridesmaid dresses! Just like the colors that go with hot pink, bright
blues can also be used successfully with this wedding theme. Choose shades of
turquoise, emerald, and burnt orange to bring the shades of pink closer to
white. By doing so, you'll make your bridesmaid dresses stand out from the rest
and make them unique.
