32 Chic Rose Gold Wedding Décor Ideas

Rose gold has a lot of going for it: It’s romantic, chic, and stylish—the perfect combination for some dreamy nuptials. Rose gold weddings took off when rose quartz became Pantone’s color of the year in 2016, and they’ve held a timeless appeal ever since.

This delicate hue has an understated elegance that’s surprisingly versatile; it’s easy for a rose gold wedding to have a feminine feel, but the palette can be subtly incorporated to accommodate different styles. Aisle markers of mauve-colored pampas grass might lend a rose gold indie edge, whereas an antique rose gold bar cart creates vintage vibes. But rose gold is more than a color. Whether it appears in foil lettering on an invitation suite or as a gleaming plate charger, rose gold’s often metallic qualities add texture.

And you can even bring rose gold into your wedding day look! Ditch the traditional white for a blush-toned gown, don a pair of satin pink pumps, or let a pair of rose gold studs glitter at your ears. Top it off with a bouquet fashioned out of varying pink and red blooms for a rose gold aura.

These gorgeous rose gold wedding ideas promise to elevate your wedding.

Use Rose Gold Foil

Wedding invitations always set the tone for the big. For a rose gold wedding, lend hand-torn paper some elegance with a watercolor wash, rose gold wax seal, and matching rose gold foiled calligraphy to give your guests an artful impression.

Opt for Shades of Rose
