Carnations get a bad rap sometimes and are often thought of as filler flowers or an old-fashioned floral choice. But recently they’ve been making a comeback in the world of weddings due to their huge range of shades, affordability and availability all year round. Plus, we think they are pretty and beautiful in their own right. To possibly change your opinion and inspire you to think the same, we've put together a pretty Pink Carnation Inspired Wedding Palette. We show you how you can use these simple blooms in everything from your wedding centerpieces, escort cards or even your bouquet.

How to create this Pretty Pink Carnation Inspired Wedding...

• Stationery: A blush pink or ombre stationery suite would be perfect for this pretty feminine look.
• Style: Soft floaty gowns for your bridesmaids in shades of pink and for the bride, a frothy tulle gown with simple detailing. For the groom, a light suit paired with a pink bowtie and a beautiful carnation boutonniere. For a perfect finishing touch add some rose-gold toned jewels.
• Flowers and Decor: Carnations are a relatively inexpensive floral so they can be used in abundance if you wish to have a flower-filled wedding. Garlands created from strings of carnations are a fantastic wedding backdrop or ceremony decor feature. One look at the bouquet above will make you'll wonder why carnations were ever considered filler flowers. Group lots of shades of pink carnations together to create a beautiful bouquet.
• Cake: A simple white cake with a delicate ruffle reminiscent of a carnation petal would be stunning or, for something more simple a soft iced confection can be decorated with some fresh carnations in shades of this rosy hue.
