Hot Trend: Red Weddings (Wedding Apparel and Invitations)

Themed weddings or other affairs styled as single colored can be very fashionable and memorable, if they are done properly. If using a unique color theme for your wedding interests, you will love the following advice.

 

 

If you and your spouse-to-be love red, then have a red-themed wedding! Who cares about the outdated tradition that a bride must wear ivory, cream, or white dresses? Go with your own desires. A wedding that reflects who you are will be more impressive than one that blindly follows the dictates of tradition. We guarantee it! Red is the symbol of ever-burning love and passion. It is a very hot color and will emphasize your unique personality.

In China and India, red is considered the color of prosperity and wealth. So consider wearing a red chipao, sarong, or sari. Doing so will emphasize your color and give you an even more unique look.

However, if you prefer to wear a traditional or semi-traditional dress, red is still an ideal color, because it is appropriate for any time of year. You will need to know the special shades for each season.

For instance, you may choose ruby, bardot, terracotta, or coral red colors for the golden fall season. Other shades appropriate for a fall wedding dress include:
• Fall wedding dress in Raspberry
• Ruby wedding dress for fall
• Othelia dress in Ruby for fall
• Terracotta dress for fall

In the winter, you will look breathtaking in blood or scarlet red colors. These shades will look splendid among the winter snows:
Deep raspberry dress for Winter
Empire dress in Scarlet red for Winter

Spring and summer seasons may look great with combinations of red shades. For instance, you may take redwith rose, rose with ecru, red with turquoise, and red with pale or ash rose colors. These shades will also match well with saturated green, golden, or even black:
• Coral dress with light nude for Summer
• Floral print dress for Summer
• Rose and ecru dress for Spring
• Black and red dress for summer

Be sure to avoid color conflict!

Invitations in Red

For a red wedding, you need to consider more than just the bride’s dress. You should pick up the same color for every last detail, such as wedding invitations. Such invitations will indicate to guests that they should dress in a proper red color to support your wedding theme.

The format of the invitation should be non-standard as well. Etsy.com can help, as it is full of unique, affordable, hand-made wedding invitations.

Of course, the maple leaf for Canadian brides or any North American bride marrying in the fall is one classy option. But you could also consider one of the following four options taken from Etsy:
• Vintage urban wedding card
• Vintage style Moulin Rouge style wedding card
• Sakura style Spring wedding invitation
• Halloween or Thanksgiving style card in Ruby for Fall

Wedding Apparel for the Groom

We’ve already discussed the bride’s apparel. Now, let’s focus on the groom’s. Dark grey with the scarlet or rubyred bowtie will be perfect for fall or winter. Also, dark black with a scarlet rose as the buttonhole flower will work great for a snowy winter wedding.

For a spring or summer wedding, a trendy nude costume with red elements will make a good choice.
