Deep red colours are ideal and very popular for Winter weddings – the warmth that such a colour can add to the day will only enhance the proceedings. Likewise, lighter reds and pinks are much more ideally suited to a Spring/Summer wedding where a fresh, bright scheme will work wonders.
Reds and Pinks work perfectly with a Valentine’s theme or one centred around love and passion. Oriental themed weddings will too work well with a red colour scheme, whilst the ‘pretty princess in pink’ feeling will combine beautifully with a Fairy Tale Wedding theme to brilliant effect.
The colours themselves obviously work well with other shades of red and pink but can also combine effectively with a whole range of other colours to stunning effect. A Winter Wedding will see dark greens working perfectly with deep sumptuous reds, whilst oranges and yellows will work in harmony with reds in an Oriental themed wedding. Pinks can be complemented by pastel shades of lemon, lilac and peach more Summer and Springtime weddings. With regards a metallic option, darker reds will suit gold and bronze whilst pinks will suit chrome and silver better.
Flowers are one of the easiest and most dramatic ways to showcase your colour scheme and there are a wide range of red and pink flowers that you may wish to choose should you wish. A number of the most popular ones are listed below:
· Aster
· Campanula
· Carnations
· Dahlias
· Freesia
· Gerbera
· Gladiola
· Hyacinth
· Hydrangea
· Lily
· Peonies
· Phlox
· Rose
· Sweet Peas
· Tulips
If you are choosing reds and pinks, factor them into all aspects of the day from embroidery on the Wedding Dress, to supporting colours on the stationery. The Bridesmaids should obviously be wearing the colour, whilst the Groom and male attendants outfits should have matching neckpieces and waistcoats / cummerbunds. Red is a common colour in the fruit world, so why not try to implement strawberries or raspberries into your cake design, whilst balloons, decorations and flowers should be reds and pinks.
