Kaitlin & Cody's Romantic Red & White Wedding Theme

Are you trying to come up with ideas for a traditional wedding theme? With small details, seasonal accents, and careful color selection, you can create the ideal setting for a classic and romantic wedding that is all your own.

Here, we show you how our actual bride elevates a red and white wedding motif with glittering crystal embellishments and lush emerald green. See why traditional hues are always in style by drawing inspiration from Kaitlin and Cody's charming red and white wedding.

What is a timeless wedding theme?

Sometimes, it's best to avoid messing with perfection regarding bridal attire. Timeless, tried, and tested wedding themes look as good in 1923 as in 2023. A timeless wedding theme can be interpreted differently, but most prefer formal and classic decor elements.

Selecting décor and elements that are always in style is essential to creating a timeless, sophisticated wedding theme. By basing your decor on classic wedding colors rather than fads, you can make a simple, robust design that is the ideal backdrop for your event.

Do red, black, and white go together?

Red, white, and black are always at the top of the list regarding color schemes that endure. Elegant and timeless, they complement one another or stand alone in practically any combination. Working with white and red gave Kaitlin and Cody a sense of classic beauty and old Hollywood glitz.

Take inspiration from Kaitlin and Cody's wedding theme and incorporate your unique style into the timeless color palette. Black with white and red undertones would be just as beautiful, even though our couple's base hue was white. You have complete control over how you style your color scheme!

What season is best for a red and white wedding theme?

Red and white is a grand color scheme for winter weddings, especially if you plan a date around Valentine's Day, Christmas, or New Year's. However, there are no hard and fast rules regarding color schemes. Red implies fire and passion, while snowy white highlights the beauty of the cold landscape—a color combination perfect for honoring love.

Inspired by the chilly feel of a red and white theme, Kaitlin and Cody skillfully incorporated the color scheme into elegant décor and endearing seasonal accents.

Setting the scene with elegant invites

A wreath of exquisite winter greenery and bright white berries with golden accents was featured on Kaitlin and Cody's invitations, giving guests a sneak peek at their magnificent wedding theme. This pattern persisted throughout the brisk early February wedding day.

A venue with historic charm

Your design choices will come together more quickly if you choose a venue that complements your wedding theme. Kaitlin and Cody chose a historic manor property for their wedding to highlight the day's timeless beauty. The venue's old interior elements, well-kept grounds, and weathered masonry complemented the couple's classic wedding theme.

Dressing in a classic style

With its exquisite lace accents and off-the-shoulder neckline that evoked vintage beauty and flawlessly framed her flowing red hair, Kaitlin's gorgeous trumpet gown was ideal for her wedding day. She accessorized her ensemble with exquisite hanging earrings and a timeless pearl necklace.

Inspired by Kaitlin's dress selection, the bridesmaids wore emerald velvet bias-cut gowns that resembled those from a 1940s film set. Cozy fur stoles enhanced the glitzy vintage look while keeping the bride and her ladies warm outside.

The groom wore a sharp white shirt and a smart black suit to fit the occasion. In place of flowers, the groom and groomsmen chose chic pocket squares in the same deep green velvet as the bridesmaids, and the groomsmen also wore matching velvet ties.

Bridal flowers with a red and white wedding theme

Flowers like Kaitlin and Cody's are ideal for adding color highlights to a traditional wedding theme. In an ocean of winter whites, the bridal and attendant flowers were the focal point of the rouge tones used for their red and white wedding décor, giving them an extra special touch.

A bridal bouquet bursting with red roses

Kaitlin carried a lovely free-form bridal bouquet full of the traditional rouge bloom, epitomizing romanticism. Additional white and burgundy flowers complemented the rosy red, and a similar ribbon connected the evergreen branches, winter berries, and dazzling embellishments.

Coordinating red and white bridesmaid's bouquets

Kaitlin's bridesmaids carried somewhat smaller red and white bouquets that matched the lovely components of her bouquet to unify the bridal party ensemble. The hues were striking when contrasted with their green gowns, and Kaitlin's stunning bridal ensemble was beautifully framed.

Lovely adornments for the flower girl

When the flower girls participate in your special day, they feel even more special thanks to floral accessories explicitly made for them. Kaitlin's youngest attendant carried a basket with red, white, and evergreen accents and finished her pretty white attire with a matching red and white flower crown.

A romantic red and white wedding ceremony

Kaitlin and Cody designed a sophisticated, romantic ceremony location appropriate for the crisp, chilly winter months. A gilded chandelier, beautifully wrapped in white cloth, brought a touch of romance to the area. To join in the celebration of their love, friends and relatives stood on either side of the inviting wedding aisle.

Elegant white aisle decor

Elegant white floral centerpieces were arranged on towering white pillars with foliage cascading down from the arrangements, adhering to the traditional concept. The flowers created a unified visual eyeliner to the lovely wedding arbor, wonderfully framing the aisle.

Enchanting floral wedding arch

Kaitlin and Cody exchanged vows under a gorgeous bridal arch adorned with a cascade of white flowers. Accents of evergreens drew attention to the blooms and paid homage to the season. A wall of sparkling lights that seeped through the white wall behind them like icicles gleaming in the sunlight created an enchanting atmosphere for commemorating love.

A Winter Wonderland wedding reception

Kaitlin and Cody's reception space echoed the elegant atmosphere of the ceremony. Guests dined and celebrated in a glittering winter paradise that made it difficult to distinguish between the dining room and the hidden garden, with lit foliage encircling the immaculate white tables.

Elegant red and white wedding decor for tables

The decor for Kaitlin and Cody's reception was mostly white, so the red and green accents were a striking contrast to the sea of snowy neutrals. Beautiful and classic table décor was created with sparkling lights and elegant accents like crystal barware.

Crystal hoop centerpieces

Kaitlin and Cody selected elegant hoop centerpieces with dangling cut gems to complement the wedding's glistening, icy touches. Simple white roses, pinecones, and greenery adorned the base of the wooden hoops, creating a beautiful framing.

Rose petals add a romantic touch.

Red rose petals, delicately arranged around the glittering centerpieces, gave the crystalline décor a delicate, romantic touch and connected the red and white wedding motif at the dinner table for a happy celebration.
