Use silks, satins, velvets, wools, things that are sparkly and things that have a soft lustre such as pewter itself, to add interest to a colour that could quickly become overwhelming and forceful. Add softer elements such as fully opened roses or peonies, clouds of gypsophila, white hydrangeas, sugar-frosted fruit, and subtle accents such as perfumed flowers tucked away in corners, soft unobtrusive lighting.
