What does red mean?
Since ancient times, red has been considered a symbol of beauty, flame, warmth, and life. In relationships between young people, it can mean passionate, bright love, perseverance, warm hearts.
Most people view this color positively.
A bride's bouquet with flowers of any shade of red means ever-burning, unquenchable love. Nowadays, an abundance of red at a wedding is celebrated as an abundance of love in the lives of the newlyweds.
Bride's image
The key to the success of the bride’s image for this wedding is a harmonious combination of exclusively two primary colors. If you choose a white dress, choose shoes, belt, nail polish, lipstick and other accessories in the same shade of red. The hairstyle can be decorated with scarlet or white roses or other flowers. Brave brides should pay attention to jewelry with rubies.
Red outfits for newlyweds
Red color in clothes will make your couple brighter and more impressive. To begin with, you should decide on the shade: for an autumn wedding, burgundy or terracotta will look better; for a winter wedding, scarlet, fiery red; for a spring and summer wedding, you should think about pink and coral shades.
The shades of red in the clothes of young people should match most accurately; special attention should be paid to this.
The option of a combined wedding dress will be original; it can be safely used at any time of the year.
Along with red, you can include white, bright blue, and green in your dress. A golden or silver finish will look royal.
Don't forget to make sure that the shade of red you choose for your wedding matches the color type of both newlyweds.
Dresses for a red and white wedding
To make your wedding attire stylish, you should still give preference to one of the shades and make it predominant in the outfit. For example, a red overdress and a white underskirt, as in the royal dresses of the Middle Ages. Or vice versa, a white dress with red accessories. The wedding portal Svadbaholik.ru believes that for this wedding, a stylish option for the groom is a black suit with a red tie.
Bridesmaids' Dresses
If the bride does not want to buy a red wedding dress, her bridesmaids can wear red ones. Usually they agree on the shade in advance, and choose the styles to suit their taste.
It happens that bridesmaids dress up in identical dresses in order to better emphasize the bride’s originality, which is the original goal. The newlywed will stand out and look very bright.
There is also an option in which all guests, including bridesmaids, require at least one red accessory.
You can use hairpins, clutches, shoes, accessories, bouquets, belts, bags.
Images of the bride and groom
For a white and red wedding, the bride will choose a white outfit. Red and scarlet will be used in details. For a fragile young girl, a red and white color combination in a bouquet will be enough. For a bright, stylish, self-confident woman, there can be more red: a dress belt, shoes, gloves, bright makeup and nail polish will make the bride stand out already at the registry office. The main thing is not to overdo it: you don’t need to place a lot of red accents. The ideal combination is 70:30.
For the groom, the outfit can be traditional - a black or white suit, tuxedo. In the latter case, you can add a red belt or bow tie to your outfit. The shirt should be dazzling white, like a bride's dress. A boutonniere made from the same flowers as the bride’s bouquet will complete the look.
Tip: the bride’s hairstyle can be decorated with fresh flowers – in the same color scheme. This will further emphasize her youth and freshness.
Design of invitations
Invitation cards are quite an important part of wedding preparations. It is by invitations that guests begin to judge the future celebration.
There are many ideas for designing such wedding cards in red. On a white background you can place red decorations in the form of hearts, flowers, butterflies. Scarlet satin ribbons or lace also look elegant on it.
In this case, it is also better to use red letters, written in ornate italics. A background of red shades will make your invitation card catchy, bright, and the text will look more unusual.
Invitations should be sent almost a month in advance so that guests have time to prepare and adjust their plans.
The meaning of red and white at a wedding
White color is traditionally present at almost any wedding; it is an echo of ancient customs. It symbolizes purity, tenderness, lightness and even some airiness of the feelings of the bride and groom. The white color present on the bride's dress symbolizes femininity and fragility.
Red color, on the contrary, has strong energy. In all world cultures, the color red has always been considered a symbol of love and passion, as well as family well-being and prosperity. By choosing this light as one of the components in your wedding decoration, you can immediately charge your guests with a charge of vigor and good mood.
By combining two colors that are opposite in meaning and perception, we can emphasize that in the relationship between the bride and groom there is room for both tender, reverent treatment and ardent, unbridled love.
A wedding cake
The cake is an extremely important part of the banquet. All guests are looking forward to this moment, because nowadays confectioners create real masterpieces. At a red wedding, the cake, of course, should be red.
Multi-tiered confectionery products are decorated with mastic figures, fresh flowers, icing, and sometimes each tier is tied with a scarlet silk ribbon. The cake can be made in the shape of a heart.
