Show your pride with these fun and festive lesbian pride flag wedding ideas.
The Sunset Lesbian Pride Flag is a joyful celebration of the lesbian community, and we can’t think of a color scheme better suited for a wedding than these amazing oranges, pinks, and magentas. Designed by nonbinary lesbian Emily Gwen in 2018, the seven-stripe flag is an exuberant expression of womanhood, community, and love.
Each stripe carries an important meaning, beginning with orange standing for gender nonconformity; then coral signifying independence, and pale orange symbolic of community. In the middle is a white stripe which stands for the unique relationship to womanhood that lesbians have. Below this, a pinkish-purple stripe denotes serenity and peace; followed by darker purple which indicates love and sex. Finally, a deep magenta represents femininity.
While there are multiple lesbian pride flags widely used around the world, each with their own significant history and place, Gwen’s design is currently the most commonly used and we love how much fun it is to use these colors throughout your décor, flowers, and style choices.
Set the tone right off the bat with these fun invitations. We love that they bring in multiple shades found in the flag without looking like little flags. Downloadable template available for $16.82 from Etsy
