Today's post is for Jennifer who's throwing a pink and gray couples' shower at night time. The shower is for a very large group of people and is to have a 'casual cocktail party' feel. Candles, pale hues, multiple textures and romance prevail in my theme to create an intimate and elegant environment despite the number of people.- Intricate yet simplistic, a solitary rose in a well-fitted bowl would be lovely as a centerpiece or general decor when alternated with many tea light candles [via Matthew Mead]- Romantic chandelier [via snippet & ink]- Elegant glass bottle of perfume makes an extravagant favor for the females [via snippet & ink]- A pewter tray displaying vintage trinkets in pinks, creams and grays [via Matthew Mead]- A sweet dessert featuring pale pink and grey florals, grey velvet ribbon and a pair of lovebirds [via Brides]- Sumptuous texture meets elegance in these cocktails [via Brides]

Winter weddings are the perfect time to take advantage of one of the most elegant and lovely colors - white.

Consider steel blue, black, periwinkle, silver, sage green or, as in today's inspiration board, pewter.- Italian-influenced designs adorn this stunning white and pewter wedding cake- Reception table with white florals, linens, dinnerware, candles and seating- Bridesmaids in white dresses, pair with pewter-toned jewelry and heels- A white floral bouquet is accented with crystals and pewter brunia tie into the pewter ribbon belt on the bride's dress- A boutonniere made of a single ranunculous and a silvery dusty miller branch- A homemade favor of snow-white vanilla meringues
