Finding yourself falling head over heels for metallic wedding ideas, but still want to ensure your celebration is completely unique? We think we've found a solution. Rose gold wedding décor has been trending for a while now, and it's the prettiest addition to any wedding color palette. Whether you're talking table décor, wedding cakes, bridesmaids' dresses, or even engagement rings, rose gold is always a good decision.

While the color is every bit as elegant as gold or silver, rose gold adds a unique, unexpected pop of personality to details. And that's not even considering the fact that this pink-hued metallic pairs well with so many different color combinations. You can add it in with black or white for timeless romance, or use it as the perfect contrast to a collection of blue hues. Even better? Dedicate yourself to a metallic-only palette and just admire the way this nontraditional tone shines against a combination of silver, gold, and copper. If you don't want to include rose gold in your overarching color scheme, consider using it sparingly as an accent. You can't go wrong with a few rosy metallic candle sticks (they add a tougher element to a pink-themed tablescape!) or even a pair of rose gold pumps (so chic!).

No matter which exact hue you settle on or how you decide to it, the following gorgeous rose gold wedding ideas will add a little extra oomph to your décor and turn your wedding details into unforgettable, statement-making elements. Click through to discover all the best rose gold wedding inspiration.

This Signed By Bird balloon arch is proof that rose gold can play nice with even the most bohemian décor—the boho jute rug and bamboo and rattan lanterns are balanced by the arch's major metallic orbs.

Subtle Invites

Jose Villa

Feel free to tone down the rose gold trend (not all versions of the shade are highly reflective!). This burnished invitation suite by Ceci New York featured a muted rosy crest, which later reappeared on the groomsman's pocket squares.

Only one of these bridesmaids is wearing a true rose gold dress but notice how the others' garments refer back to the shade. The 'maid on the left's gown brings the pink undertones, while the right attendant's frock features relevant Champagne-hued accents.

Ceremony Arch

Riverland Studios

We're not sure which is prettier: This driftwood ceremony's natural architecture or it's shell and rose gold triangle streamers. Both were created by the bride.

Terrarium Accents

Make like Onyx and Redwood and dress up an escort card table with metallic-plated terrariums, filled with succulents and air plants. We also love how the team paired Himalayan salt platforms with cement blocks—the contrasting décor elements seamlessly work together.

Cutlery

Hilal and Moses

A deep rose gold cutlery set really pops against lavender linens—especially when candle sticks and a pink cocktail help enunciate the underlying blush tones. This tablescape was curated by Hilal and Moses.

Seating Chart

Feel free to play with textures when introducing the pink metallic into your big-day details. Take this seating chart sign by Something Turquoise, for example. The faux fur base adds a cozy layer to an otherwise sleek and modern piece of signage.

Light Bulbs

The best part about rose gold? You can (usually) bring the metallic to life with a little bit of spray paint. Luxe and Luna did just that with these warm-toned bulb place cards, which were calligraphed with each guest's name.

Mini banner table numbers look that much more refined with a rose gold metal base. Blogger Jessye Aibel of City Tonic created these sweet details, which defined her reception tables.

Here's another way to spray paint your way to rose gold. Ask your florist (Les Amis was responsible for this clutch!) to coat a few dried blooms with the shade, so your bouquet has an unexpected metallic element.

Champagne

Not every rose gold detail is actually a metallic—the trend is also frequently expressed through its warm tone. Brut rosé, the ultimate wedding toast sip, conveys this idea perfectly.

Metallic Ceremony Structure

Atley+Liz Collective

Polished and streamlined, this minimal ceremony structure by Weddings by Hannah proves that rose gold can make a statement virtually all on its own. A sprinkle of blooms (this small arrangement was created by Wild Hill Flowers and Events), however, doesn't hurt.

Donning rose gold strappy sandals on your wedding day has to be one of the subtlest ways to include the metallic hue—especially if you're wearing a floor-length gown.
