Themed weddings or celebrations in the same color are very elegant and stylish. Of course, if you take the trouble and prepare everything properly. If you have a modicum of patience, imagination and desire, you are quite able to implement any, even the most fantastic idea. 

If your favorite color is red, then a wedding in red is just made for you. It is a symbol of love and unquenchable passion; it is a very bright and strong color that will emphasize the originality of the couple in love. Red is interpreted in many cultures: it is associated with happiness and prosperity. It is enough to choose the right shade – and bravely proceed to the realization of plans. For example, for an autumn wedding the actual deep shades are burgundy, terracotta, reddish-red, for the winter will suit the bright colors – your red dress will look wonderful against the white snow. Spring and summer weddings can be combined – as a basis, take red and dilute it with another shade – white, black, turquoise, soft pink. Remember that a deep red will be combined with a dark green, with scarlet – yellow or orange, bronze, gold or silver elements will look organic with the dark red shades. Try to avoid conflict of colors and pay attention even to minor details – even bonbonnières, candles and ring pads should be consistent with the overall style.

Invitations

If you decide to do your own red wedding, the first thing to do is to let guests of the future event know that the celebration will be unusual. Invitations can be made entirely in one color, or decorated with red details and inserts.

Wish Books

Not surprisingly, for a red wedding, the book of wishes should contain red in its design. This also applies to all other types of its replacement. How to accomplish this? Let’s look at examples.

1. The classic wish book should undoubtedly be red. But do not forget that red perfectly harmonizes with white, and both colors can be combined on the cover of the memorial book.
2. Frame of wishes. In this case, the background of the frame or the wooden details that the guests fill in and send to the frame can be red. In particular, red hearts look great.
3. A large wooden heart, on which the guests write their warm words and goodbyes to the newlyweds.
4. A picture in a frame. The picture can depict three-dimensional red balloons, which the newlyweds are holding. On the balloons the guests write their wishes.
5. Poster with a picture of a tree. On the painted tree, guests can be invited to make prints, using paint in a thematic color.
6. A large red letter made of wood. A first name letter made out of wood in red can be a great substitute for a wish book. The guests in this case write their wishes directly on the surface of the letter with a permanent marker.

The image of the bride

If you think logically, the first thing that comes to mind when you think about choosing a wedding dress, it should be red. According to the theme. It’s important to pick your own shade of that color. 

You should choose “your” shade of red in accordance with your color type.

There are four types of girls: spring, summer, autumn and winter.

Spring-girl is the rarest color type, it is a natural blonde with green or blue eyes and fair skin. Coral, poppy, tomato, apricot and warm orange colors will suit such brides.

The autumn girl is red-haired or light brown, with light or swarthy skin, her eyes are from light blue to dark brown. Tomato, brick-red and copper-red colors are suitable for such brides.

“Summer” brides are characterized by pale skin, blond hair and gray, blue or hazel eyes. Red, scarlet, crimson, wine-red and cherry shades suit them.

And finally, the winter girl is the brides with dark hair and light porcelain skin with a slight blush, blue, green, brown or black eyes. When choosing a dress for such brides should pay attention to purple, crimson, red, bright red and bordeaux.

However, not every bride will dare to wear a bright outfit. Therefore, a classic white dress will fit perfectly into your “red” wedding.
