Red is the color of love, heart and passion. So, why not adopt it for your wedding decor? Sprinkled in small touches and combined with a bright white, it will bring warmth and elegance. Our golden ideas for a two-tone wedding!
Timeless, elegant and right on the theme of Love, red seems to be the ideal color to celebrate your union. But be careful, you can quickly switch to a decoration “kitsch” and a little old school. So we forget the red carpet and the bed of rose petals and we use this shade subtly. To do this, you have to dose it well and not hesitate to make it your own. Red comes in different shades, from carmine to vermilion, burgundy, brick and cherry. Strong color, it is better to attenuate it with a neutral and bright color, such as white or ecru in order to bring softness and delicacy to the decoration. Zoom in on our flamboyant ideas.
Decorative ideas to hunt for…
Divert red objects! In the center of the table, why not place, in addition to bouquets of red peonies and wild flowers, large wicker baskets filled with red fruits and vegetables? And why not candy boxes full of Tagada strawberries to keep the guests waiting? This is a great idea if you are opting for a country wedding or a funfair theme for example. As for flowers, white and red bouquets can beautifully decorate the backs of chairs or the bride’s arch. Mix the red flowers of your choice (amaranths, amaryllis, hydrangeas, etc.) with branches and white flowers like daisies, wild ceraistes or anemones. You can also choose red and white tableware, red stemmed glasses or matching cutlery. The idea is to distill this bright color into your decoration.
Red and white for a country decor
Do you like very warm, cocooning atmospheres with Scandinavian accents? Pair red with wood. To create a country atmosphere, elegant, but not stuffy, red and wood combine wonderfully. For example, use crates and pallets for your decoration if you want to have the reception or the aperitif outside. You can also choose to seat your guests on wooden benches. On the table linen (napkins, tablecloths or table runners, etc.) and your cushions, adopt gingham that you mix with wooden napkin rings or wooden logs as coasters. This deliciously retro pattern is perfect for creating a tavern and unpretentious atmosphere!
Themed invitations!
Very graphic, painted in watercolor, with a touch of humor or illustrated with pretty drawings… Wedding invitations are endless! Stay on theme by choosing red and white as the color code and draw from the ideas spotted on Pinterest. The menus, guest cards or table plan can also be matched.
Delicious and romantic cakes
Play the red and white card even in your buffet! Farandole of cupcakes or desserts with perfect icing, you are free to choose the dessert of your choice. Have fun decorating them with fresh fruits (strawberries, raspberries, currants, figs…), immaculate white toppings and fresh flowers.
