Throwing A Dusty Rose Wedding: All The Tips & Tricks For The Perfect Day

There’s a reason dusty rose has become one of the most popular colors featured in wedding color palettes. It’s beautiful and rich yet tastefully muted enough not to clash with other shades or look garish no matter how you use it. Plus, weddings are all about romance, and dusty rose is a truly romantic color if we’ve ever seen one, in addition to its sophisticated glamor. We’d especially recommend it for a fall wedding, but the color can absolutely work for any season.

If you’re interested in planning a dusty rose wedding of your own, we at Peerspace have provided advice on how to select the right venue, decor, bridalwear, and photography ideas. Keep reading for our tips and tricks so you can get to planning the soirée of your dreams!

Choosing your dusty rose wedding venue

All kinds of wedding venues would be suitable for a dusty rose wedding, but choosing the right wedding venue is an absolutely crucial decision that can make or break your wedding. We’d strongly recommend taking a look at Peerspace, the largest online marketplace for not just wedding venue rentals but also space rentals of all kinds. It’s the easiest and most comprehensive way to find the ideal location for your dusty rose wedding.

To give you an idea of what’s available on Peerspace, here are a couple of examples of wedding venues you can rent through the site. We’ve chosen two garden-based venues because we think the greenery would make a perfect complement to a dusty rose color scheme:

The Secret Garden on 6th – Cozy Venue

This lovely garden in the midst of Austin, Texas is “an urban oasis with plants spilling out of every possible crack and crevice”. It would be perfect for a smaller, more intimate wedding of up to 40 guests, and comes with a kitchen, indoor and outdoor dining tables, bathroom, and proximity to plenty of arts and culture.

This exciting location “was once a former warehouse for Guerrero Grocery built in the late 70’s but re-envisioned and renovated in 2007 to stand out in the age of prefabricated buildings and meeting spaces. Being the only property on 6th street with a private yard it was redesigned to become a cozy venue that surprises people when they arrive.” What a sweet backdrop for your dusty rose wedding, at an affordable price of just $149 per hour.

As one happy reviewer commented, “Lovely space and a very kind, accommodating host. Beautiful spot that’s both tucked away and in the center of everything. Perfect place for a small gathering.”

Intimate Garden Wedding Site

Located in Woodstock, Georgia, this intimate garden has lots going for it that make it ideal for a dusty rose wedding. It boasts blooming azaleas in April as well as blue and white hydrangeas in late May through June. All of this would make a picturesque backdrop for your wedding.

Just read the host’s description of this magical, idyllic place. “Stone path goes around to a spacious patio,  for guests to gather before or afterwards for the reception. Stone steps go down under a vine covered arch to a sunken garden, opening up to a brick patio, leading to  a beautiful white gazebo adorned with a crystal chandelier. White chairs filled with guests create an aisle for the wedding party and can also go completely around the gazebo giving everyone a clear view of the ceremony. Take a walk through the garden past the 3 tier fountain and the soothing waterfall in the pond”. It can accommodate as many as 100 guests for a medium-sized wedding.

Dusty rose wedding decor

Your bouquet is one of the central focuses of your wedding’s aesthetic, and dusty rose is the perfect choice for the color scheme–it will look lovely in photos and provide a perfect contrast with a white wedding dress, should you choose to go in a more traditional direction.

Roses are a natural choice for this bouquet, but many kinds of flowers are available in this shade. Check out this example of a dusty rose bouquet from Style Me Pretty for some lovely inspiration.

If dusty rose bouquets appeal to you, using a similar color scheme for your wedding centerpieces is another great option. Lots of visual/decorative elements of your wedding will look wonderful in shades of muted pink, including your wedding cake, tablecloths and table runners, napkins, chair accents, swaths of fabric hung across the archway acting as an altar (see these photos from Weddywood for an example), and so much more. You might also consider having your bridesmaids wear matching dusty rose dresses.

Colors to pair with dusty rose

Not everything has to be dusty rose, however, unless you decide you want an absolutely monochromatic color scheme. As described in this article from HGTV, numerous colors go beautifully with dusty rose. For instance, it “looks especially inviting when paired with warm neutrals, like beige, brown and cream.” It also looks fabulous paired with the all-time classic wedding colors that are white or off-white/ivory.

Dusty rose bridalwear

Choosing the right dress is one of the most important parts of planning for your wedding. You may decide that you want to go in a more traditional direction with a white wedding gown. If so, you can use dusty rose as an accent color in your makeup, shoes, jewelry, and more.

Check out this soft dusty rose wedding makeup tutorial for an example of what your dusty rose makeup look might look like. A dusty rose wedding veil like this one would also be an absolutely gorgeous addition to your bridal attire.

If you’re willing to consider colors other than white for your wedding gown, dusty rose can also be an awesome option for the dress itself. For instance, this stunning gown from CreatiVisionWeddings has tons of positive reviews, as does this romantic vintage gown from DesignsByAlexxandra.

Do a quick search for “dusty rose wedding gowns” and you’ll find countless options in all sorts of styles.
