  Simply the color choice of a pink and chocolate brown theme sets up a luscious image for a wedding. After the bride selects the blush pink gown and the baby pink bridesmaid dresses, after the groom picks out the chocolate brown tuxedos, and after the couple order the perfect chocolate cake with pink icing, lots more pink and chocolate brown ideas can help carry out the color theme effectively.
  
  

Pink and Chocolate Brown Invitations

• The bride and groom who choose pink and chocolate brown as their wedding colors can set the mood beginning with their invitations. Pink print on rich chocolate textured paper is one choice; brown ink on light pink or cream colored-paper printed in brown and featuring a pink rose in the upper left-hand corner is another possibility. For those who want to give guests a heads-up even earlier than the arrival of the invitations, pink and chocolate personalized save-the-date magnets are available at myweddingreceptionideas.com. Another save-the-date idea is to send out chocolate bars with personalized wrappers, available at a variety of sources such as customcandybarwrapper.com.
  
  

Pink and Chocolate Brown Paper Goods

• For a not-so-formal wedding, brown paper goods (plates, cups, napkins—along with plastic flatware) create a dramatic look; alternatively, the napkins might be pink and personalized in brown with the bride and groom’s first names. When more formal tables are draped in white linen, paper coasters, perhaps brown with pink polka dots, look appropriate on the table. The pink and chocolate theme can be further carried out with brown paper leaves scattered on the table amid pink paper roses.
  
  

Pink and Chocolate Brown Favors

• Chocolate, of course, makes the perfect favor for a pink and chocolate wedding. Tiny pink boxes are filled with chocolates and tied with brown ribbon set around each table; alternately, Martha Stewart favors use tissue paper and stamps to create little individual candy-wrapped favors. Another possibility is to wrap chocolate-scented individual candles in pink tissue. One source for these is caterpillarscandles.com, where they are available in a chocolate brownie scent.
  
  

Pink and Chocolate Candy Table

• A pink and chocolate candy table is a natural for a wedding featuring these colors. Clear glass or pink-tinted glass bowls, platters, brandy snifters, and other glass containers serve as candy dishes holding a variety of chocolates and pink candies. One choice for pink sweets are pink-coated chocolate candies personalized with the bride and groom’s initials. Pink jellybeans, pink Jordan almonds, pink foil-covered chocolate hearts, pink dinner mints, and pink salt-water taffy are available from such on-line companies as ohnuts.com.
