Disney might have put the concept of “a princess in pink” in our heads, but in reality it the clothing mavericks who tied in the pink with gold making it a wedding staple. A good 5-6 years ago, I remember Pink being touted as the “newest color” in Indian weddings. Gone were the days when the bride would dress up in a regal scarlet or a bright red. Even oranges and yellow were passe and pink was the “in thing”. The internet too was awash with Christian brides in white and bridesmaids in pink. Going by the requests I still get for a Pink paper flowers bridal set, I guess pink has retained its position as the top contender in the bridal scene.
I have nothing against brides who wear hot pink, infact I am quite drawn to the color lately, but it is also the most difficult to source (particularly paper roses) which makes me go crazy. To complete this Pink paper flowers bridal set and another one in Pink (Maharani pink bridal set) I had to look at 10-15 different sites just for the flowers. For this particular set, I was working against time so after a week of frenzied hunting, I decided that I would include daisies with roses and bring in an element of white into the set.
This might not sound like a very big deal to those of you who haven’t really catered to the wedding industry. But those who have experience in that area, would totally get my point. At Indian weddings you don’t communicate just with the bride but also her relatives (in-laws), friends and family and that is when you have a lot of convincing to do. Thankfully, this time around, because of the time crunch, it was easy.
Since I haven’t assembled the Foldio, I shall repeat the exercise and write a post. I just might need a little motivation to do so. In the meanwhile, so tell me your opinions on the colour Pink – do you love it, hate it, would wear it and your thoughts on pink being a bridal color.
I hope you found it interesting
Cheers
