Preppy Pink and Green Garden Wedding

Preppy Pink and Green Garden Wedding

If you love vibrant color combinations paired with classic lines, like a bold stripe, a preppy wedding is just for you! The thing I love most about the "preppy' style is that it is all about keeping your wedding low-key and fun-loving while looking crisp and classic. "Preppy" means personalized details like a monogram (that represents the new couple) and trims. Incorporate trim details like bows, buttons or piping. For this pink and green preppy wedding I've used black & white stripes, modern acrylics and a splash of watercolor in addition to fun elements like pineapples, balloons and neon.

The Table Setting:

I love a garden setting for a wedding (my own wedding was in a garden). The crisp, green backdrop is perfect for a playful preppy style. Resorts, country clubs, Oceanside, beach, yacht clubs, waterside restaurants all provide the same natural contrast that works well with this bold style.

Make a bold statement with your table setting. Bring the fun balloon trend into your reception. Check out my DIY Preppy Chair Backs, that feature perfectly cheeky "Wifey" and "Hubby" balloons.

In the center of the table I used beautiful pink florals, peonies and roses that pop against a classic Black & White Striped Table Runner.

I used the DIY Flower Box Centerpiece for the florals, painting it candy pink and adding black & white striped ribbon around the top.

At each end of the table, for soft twilight lighting, pink candles in green glass and tea lights in Pink Votive Holders.

Preppy Place Settings:

Each preppy place setting used the full color palette against an acrylic backdrop. Starting with the Premium Plastic Clear Dinner Plates, followed by green plates and a final layer of candy pink.

At each place setting is a green water glass, Premium Clear Crystal Plastic Glass and Cylinder Champagne Flutes. I completed the setting with a classic Black & White Striped Luncheon Napkin and Premium Metallic Gold Cutlery.

A thoughtful, personalized "preppy" touch at each setting, a cookie from Couture Cookie. Each cookie was created in the color palette of the wedding and included a modern palm frond accent. I used a Clear Cupcake Stand to elevate and show off the cookie. This was also practical as each guest can place it aside while eating earlier courses.

The final touch, a DIY Small Ceramic Pineapple place cards, painted preppy pink and gold. I used my Cricutâ„¢ to cut gold foil names, you can alternatively use stickers, rub on letters or stencils on this surface.

The Cake Table:

Against a lush ivy backdrop I set up the wedding cake. I placed the 2-tiered cake on a candy pink stand on top of a Large Palm Leaf. The 2-tier cake had a plain white bottom layer with a strip of ribbon around the bottom. The top layer bought in the greens of the wedding palette with a fresh and modern watercolor.

On-top of the cake another painted pineapple, lay cling film underneath or attach with gumpaste to ensure food safety.

I used a monogram cookie from Coutured Cookie on the front of the cake and displayed matching cookies on a cake stand.

I used the Footed Cake Stand to display more cookies. Use bold colors, stripes and palm leaves in the design to achieve the preppy look.

Not forgetting the playful element of the day, I incorporated a little humor into the cake table with a modern Black Letterboard Kit.

Finally I placed candy pink napkins and green spoons on the table for cake serving.

The Bar:

Serving a refreshing signature drink is a must for a garden wedding. I decided on a Mint Julep Bar, with 3 options for guests. Be sure to check out my recipe for my favorite, a Watermelon Mint Julep with a Twist. I made this recipe up in bulk and served it in the fabulous Pineapple Shaped Drink Dispenser.

The bar was set against a solid backdrop of boxwood (check out my DIY on how to Make A Boxwood & Marble Wedding Seating Chart for the steps to create this backdrop). With a fun and modern neon heart hung above it.

The Personalized Bar Acrylic Sign was the perfect "on-trend" way of displaying the signature drinks available and really pops against the boxwood.

I served individual cocktails in Embossed Pint Mason Jars with preppy green ribbon bows and a peach garnish.

I also kept the Cheers Foil Pink Confetti Drink Shaker on hand for making up more refreshing cocktails.

The Favors:

The final element of this preppy pink and green garden wedding, was a small favor table with something for the ladies. I used a small white garden table with a fresh bunch of pink garden roses to display the gifts. For the signage I used a Clear Acrylic Sign and used some of the Gold Foil Pinapple Tattoo Assortment I had for favors directly on the sign to create a fun border. These are super easy to apply, just treat the acrylic like skin and press down with water. I used my Cricutâ„¢ for the words but again letter stickers can be used to achieve the same look.
