RED WEDDING THEME IDEAS YOU'LL LOVE

Red is a color that will make your color scheme pop, whether you use it as an accent color or as a stand-alone shade. Here are some ideas for using red in your wedding decor. You can choose to make a big impact or just add a small touch. 

ACCESSORIZE YOUR LOOK WITH HINTS OF RED

Simple ways to add a touch of red to your wedding outfit are through jewelry, shoes, hair accessories, and more. You can use a family heirloom or something inspired by your favorite movie as a couple. 

• Red Makeup: A classic red lip could be the perfect finishing touch to your wedding ensemble, depending on your style (and make sure your grin pops in photos!). 
• Red Shoes: Give it a hint of Dorothy with those lusciously red kitten heels. You don't have to click your heels three times to celebrate your red wedding theme with this fantastic idea. 
• Red gemstones: If you want colored gemstones for your necklace, earrings, or hair accessories, ruby-red jewels will add a passionate touch to your bridal ensemble. 
• Red groom's attire: When boutonnières include a red focal flower, they liven up the groomsmen's attire. Get creative with styling by using red flowers like anthurium or dahlia instead of roses for a unique look. 

TRY ON A RED WEDDING DRESS

If you're not used to wearing red to weddings, you may not think about wearing bright wedding dresses. Nevertheless, several brides choose wedding dresses other than the usual white, and a red dress might be a striking option. Want to be surrounded by red but not sure you want to wear it on your body? To contrast with your white dress, dress your wedding party in crimson. 

EXCHANGE VOWS BENEATH A CASCADING CRIMSON WEDDING ARCH

More delightful than a bunch of red roses? An actual red rose waterfall is hanging over the ceremony arch. You will be surrounded by abundant beauty in the color of love as you take your first steps together as life partners.

Red flower arrangements that are all the same color may not stand out in pictures with you and your partner. This is because they look nice against a green lawn.

ADD A DASH OF RED TO YOUR CEREMONY SPACE

You can use red to accent other areas of the ceremony site and the red wedding arch, creating a striking focal point. Adorn your ceremony seats with red fabric, embellish your welcome sign with red flowers and ribbons, and illuminate the route with hurricane lanterns embellished with red flowers.

CREATE A ROMANTIC ROUGE WINTER WONDERLAND

Ruby red colors are perfect for winter weddings. Combine them with branches, evergreens, and some sparkle for beautiful decorations. Rich reds and lots of blazing candles combined with snowy surroundings make for a stunning background for a wedding.

Besides roses, red accents like holly, winterberry, amaryllis, anthurium, and poinsettia are used to add seasonal touches to designs. Artificial flowers are always stylish, so you can use your favorite flowers for a winter wedding decor. 

DECK THE TABLES IN ROSY HUES

Red reception tables are sophisticated and offer a vibrant background on which to arrange your décor and centerpieces. There are a plethora of options to style your reception tables in red, whether you want to go all red or just a hint of it:

Create an elegant red wedding decor with white flowers and tall green topiaries inspired by Alice in Wonderland. This time, there's no need to paint the roses crimson.

If your color scheme includes red-friendly hues like Romantic Marsala, burgundy, and blush, add a sophisticated touch with dazzling red place settings and wine glasses.

Let red flowers shine in floral centerpieces by enveloping them in neutral tones and metallic accents. Red flowers are striking on their own. 

TREAT YOUR TASTEBUDS TO SCARLET SNACKS

When it comes to décor, don't forget about the feast! Dessert displays, appetizers, and drinks may all complement your stunning red wedding theme. Think about creative ways to display red or incorporate the colors carmine and cherry directly into the cuisine.

Some delectably crimson menu items to try are: 

• Red velvet cupcakes
• Sangrias
• Gazpacho
• Caprese
• Bowls of fresh berries

It's a fun way to bring your colors to the table and brainstorm food ideas. It's welcoming and enjoyable.
