Light and airy Rose Smoke is a muted blush shade that can be dressed up or down for your wedding look. Feminine, but more sophisticated than your average pink, this demure hue would be a stunning option if you’re considering a non-white wedding gown. From ruffled and glamorous gowns to layered tulle dresses, we love the romantic flair of the bridal looks below.
This week we’re all about Pantone’s dreamy, muted blush tone, Rose Smoke. This romantic hue would work well for an elegant affair, incorporating crystals and fresh flowers in the decor.

We’re back this week with another Pantone inspired wedding color theme that is perfectly on trend for fall 2012, but would work just as well year round. Pink Flambé is a vibrant shade of rose pink, with a bit of a kick. It’s the perfect hue to incorporate in your wedding decor through flowers and fancy desserts.

Think pink for spring showers! Pastels are always a popular choice for spring bridal showers, and this week we are especially in love with feminine shades of pastel pink. Keep it girly, but sophisticated, by working with a few different intensities of the same pink, and adding gray and white as your neutrals.

There are so many beautiful new bridal shower invitations on our site, it’s hard to choose just one! We went with a gorgeous Jenny Romanski design for today’s board. The contrasting patterned back and vintage frame label, along with the teal, pink, and sage green color palette, all inspired the theme of the event.

For our first inspiration board of 2011, we decided to use the Pantone Color of the Year as our theme: honeysuckle pink! This vibrant new hue has the perfect amount of personality; chic and slightly feminine without looking too soft or sweet. We think it works best as a wedding color when paired with bright white and pale peach tones, keeping the bold pink as the main attraction.

We’re happy to bring you this weekly tip from celebrity wedding planner and Wedding Paper Divas stationery designer, Diann Valentine. To shop for her designs, check out our Diann Valentine collection.
For as long as I have been designing weddings, pink has by far been the most requested color of choice for ladies in waiting. I often wonder if it is our mothers’ faults for showering us in pink frills from the moment we are born or if it is something in our DNA that draws us to this soft yummy cotton candy color? As much as advocate for all of the colors in the rainbow, there is no denying that in my battles over pink, it has always prevailed. So in honor of the ultimate Barbie Doll and “Basketball Wives” co-star Jennifer Williams, I am sharing for the first time a full glimpse into her celebration at The One and Only Ocean Club on Paradise Island in the Bahamas and how she challenged us all to rise to the occasion and give her exactly what the wanted…only Valentine Style!

As mentioned last week, I get a tremendous amount of credit for the magic that “we” create but it takes a small army to turn a regular Saturday night into a magical memory, so please allow me to thank some of the DRV team that helped turn this one into reality: Scott Corridan, Julie Dunn, Erin Earls, Robert Hansen, Brent Jongeward , Dinah Knowles, Mike Shauger, Seth Santoro, Mickie Valentine, Riann Valentine and a host of many more hard working busy bees!
So do share, what is the project color that you would like to remix?
