A bold exuberant colour that adds a ‘fiesta’ touch to your celebrations! Try using it in these ways….

- with a deep navy as an elegant accent colour

- with hot orange, a more red coloured watermelon pink, bright green, or turquoise – or touches of all of them with hot pink as the main colour

- pure white with ‘pops’ of hot pink and bright aqua. ‘Cool’ down with white flowers, deep green foliage and the occasional hot pink stem of blooms

- structured fabrics such as thicker silks, satins, linens

- tropical green leaves, orchids, orange or hot pink roses, camellias, dahlias, gerberas, orange lilies, some hydrangeas are green with pink tipped petals

- stacked crockery in multi-colours e.g. dinner plates in hot pink, bread plates in orange, soup plates in turquoise, or plain white crockery

- silver, pewter, glass, coloured glass pebbles in vases to hold the flower stems, coloured glassware
- black wrought iron

- brightly coloured resin plates, vases

- chair backs, tables featuring fretwork (cut out designs) – multi coloured or in white

- table linen – bold stripes or florals in contrasting colours, bold embroidery and/or sequins on dresses or linen

- outdoors, on a deck, sand, lawn, coloured paper light shades, lots of candles lining pathways, up-lighting into the trees hung with Mexican or Eastern style metal lanterns

- fun music, wild dancing, not too much formality

- cute hot pink cashmere cardigans for the wedding party if cool

- bright shoes, jewelled sandals and accessories

- lollipops, candy canes, coloured sugar, bowls of limes, tangerines, persimmons, tropical dragon fruit

  1. When I asked my fiance if he had any suggestions for wedding colors, his only response was, “just no pink.” Ahh, I love this hot pink color too. I might to add a splash of it here and there and just call it raspberry :)

  2. Hot pink is such a vibrant color indeed! Add a touch of silver and you’ve got a chic palette :D

  3. I love hot pink. I think hot pink and black would be a great combination.
