A touch of gold has the ability to take any cake to new heights and we are absolutely obsessed with these. Paired with soft pale pink peonies, it is the ultimate in romantic luxury. If you're opting for a pure white cake or an alternative such as a macaroon tower, why not pop a few pale pink flower heads in vases and dot these around the cake. 

Wedding Tables

When it comes to decking out your tables, this is when you can really make an impact with your colour scheme. For your table settings, why not keep it simple and let your chinaware do the talking. We love these simple glass gold rimmed plates paired with ornate gold cutlery and a soft pink linen napkin for a truly classy take. Make a statement by running down the centre of the table large gold branches with delicate orchid heads attached, with tea lights running alongside these for real wow factor. Or alternatively you can keep things simple, by opting for golden seating with silk ribbons daintily wrapped around the back of them. This is a great way to add a nod to your theme without going too overboard. 

The Dresses

Whether you choose to go pink yourself or dress your lovely ladies in the hue, there's no doubting it will look simply stunning. Go all out princess with a large skirt in the palest of pinks or put your bridesmaids in rose gold sequinned dresses to really dazzle - the combination of you all together will look mesmirising. 

Favours

Add a bit of personality to the tables by providing your guests with something that's really relevant to you two as a couple. We love the idea of providing your guests with a little bottle of champers with a straw pre-attached so it's all ready to go! For a more low key look, personalise biscuits or macaroons with your names for a subtle but touching addition.
