While I understand the cuteness factor and sentiment, if you truly want to get your friend a quality gift that is useful in the kitchen, I would ditch the "pink" versions and get her a quality chef's knife. (link to Henckel $25 knife on Amazon).Another thing about the pink and pink blade is there is a fair chance that pink plating or paint or whatever it is will start to flake off into her food after a while. Those knives are gimmicky, rather than quality.
As a former professional chef, this is the knife I have in my kitchen ($40 Mercer Genesis), and it was not terribly expensive.
You might also consider a quality honing rod. I prefer a diamond electroplated rod like this one ($16).
If you really want the pink theme, the only quality knife I found was a ceramic knife, which are known for coming in "cute" colors. The thing about ceramic knives is they are very sharp, hold their edge without sharpening, but the downside is they are very fragile and prone to chipping, so they must be used in a very limited way and protected religiously. Here is a link to a 5.5" (short) ceramic knife with a pink handle for $50,
There are other pink kitchen items you could get her that it wouldn't matter. Such as the pink cutting board, pink dish towels, pink oven mitts, handles on whisks, potato mashers, or other tools.
Maybe it's just me, but the thing about block sets is I don't use the other knives very often. My ex got me a knife set in a block, based on the fact that I love to cook, and I wish she had just gotten a decent chef's knife. I used the chef's knife 95% of the time. The other three knives I used rarely were the bread, filet, and paring knives (for bread, filleting and some small fruit prep like garnishes for drinks). I ended up buying my Genesis because I didn't really like the chef's knife that came in the set.
Another pink gift I like is a pepper spray, always a good gift for self defense, and they come in hot or soft pink. My understanding is the bridesmaid/maid of honor gift is a small, funny something, and this is a great practical safety gift, and could also be funny depending on the delivery.
Also funny (and helpful in the bedroom for the newlyweds!) could be a sex toy, such as a butt plug, dildo, or a vibrating cock ring, which also (probably) can be found in pink. Along those lines, there are other sex related items like sex dice or other games, lube, a cute (soft pink of course) silk chemise, etc.
u 1. A wedding gift is for BOTH of them and maybe he isn't a huge fan of pink!
2. Focus more on the quality of the knives, how useful they will be, and how well they will hold up over time.
I was going to say you can give your friend like a bath and body works wedding basket and put all of her things that she loves if she ever been there in a basket or you can go on Amazon and find something that she will like and put that into a basket a little cute little basket with a bow on top but the first one is cute I believe they are the same exact thing but not the same exact color but it's really whatever you pick because you know her best and all we are here to do is vote but you make the final call and say. I pray that your friend has a happy long successful marriage.
Why not look at her gift registry to see what she wants/needs? Everybody has knives already, and if they don't they probably don't cook. Give her something she wants so they don't pass on their gifts to others because of duplicates they got when everyone gave them toasters or a set of silverware/knives.

Ice cream makers. Whenever they have a special occasion where they make the ice cream…they’ll always remember who gave it to them
Knife set is a good idea, but are these any good or are they just pink?
