In our most recent "Pink" post, you learned how NOT to do the girliest colour of all-time. We love it when our readers listen to us, which is why we more or less commend you, bride, on your incorporation of prototypical femininity on your big day. See:
Your bridesmaids' dresses are more or less the same colour as the ones in our previous post, only their flowers, rather than being an attempt at "matchy-matchiness," delve into the orange that will become a larger part of your overall scheme later on. Solid.
We like that your reception revolved around a family of related colours happily married. We like the peach tablecloths and the pink gerber daisies, if only because they are so nicely held together by the hanging chinese lanterns.
We appreciate that your parents didn't try to mirror each other exactly or disappear in the wedding party: we like a tasteful print on a MOB, and full-length florals are all the rage this season. We question the coordination (with anything other than your mother's dress) of the yellow boutonnier on your father, but we generally approve of this look.
We commend your effort to include some punchy colour in your own ensemble: the ruby in your necklace (which we like as a stand-alone piece -- well done) picks up perfectly the gamut of pinks in your bouquet, and jazzes up a dress that otherwise falls rather flat (sorry).
Overall, we think you've done well, but we would have liked to see you take a few more chances with your construct as a whole. If you are going to go pink in the way you went pink, you kind of have to commit to a certain level of ridiculous-contemporary of which we only see glimpses.
It is difficult, indeed, to harmonise the traditional with the more modern, and you gave it a solid try - we aren't even offended by the beige suit on your groom given your countryside venue. We give you a healthy 80% for presentation and overall vision.
Pas pire, hotshot.
