Decoration for a real raspberry-colored holiday can have shades from “raspberry blush” or alizarin to dark electric crimson. The color scheme in which the design is chosen will color the photo so eccentrically that for a long time the family’s birthday will seem close even after many years.
Similar to the lilac design, it is easy to choose original bouquets for the bride and her friends. Plants in fuchsia color are suitable for weddings.
You can use a successful combination with pastel beige, impeccable white, and soft green. Such bouquets will be a good addition to flower garlands decorating a car, a celebration hall, or a dance floor.

Bride's image
In order for the dress to look harmonious on the girl, you need to select the image, taking into account the character and temperament of the bride. Raspberry is as bright and catchy as red, but more delicate and feminine.
The dress can be classic or bright and unusual. Accessories are selected so that their shades and textures are combined with the main elements of the outfit. The bride's bouquet can consist of roses, chrysanthemums, hydrangeas, carnations, peonies, orchids and other flowers of crimson, pink, blue, cream.
You can dilute the composition with greens and raspberry branches with berries starting to ripen. This design move will most clearly emphasize the direction of the wedding. Flowers are selected depending on the budget of the newlyweds.
Local plants, when in bloom, are much cheaper than imported flowers grown in greenhouses. Wedding accessories should be selected so as not to overshadow the bride, but to complement her image, as in the photo.
The color saturation and its combination with the main details are of great importance. A raspberry hairpin, a flower on the bride’s hair, or a necklace with pink stones will look beautiful.
Suit, boutonniere and other elements for the groom
Many people believe that the crimson shade in clothes and accessories is only suitable for women. With the correct selection of all elements, this color will look very elegant on a man.
Image options:
- a classic black suit with a white shirt, complemented by a crimson tie and a boutonniere to match the color of the bride’s bouquet;
- black trousers or a suit combined with a raspberry shirt look very stylish;
- creative people with an artist's mindset can wear funky shoes or socks to match the color of the shirt in the main color of the occasion.
The style is selected depending on the character of the groom and the thematic focus of the wedding.
Meaning and properties
The bride's raspberry bouquet symbolizes tenderness, selflessness, passion, dreaminess, and flight of fancy.
This color suits people who are active, impulsive, purposeful, and emphasizes nobility.
It’s not for nothing that crimson is the color of English uniforms at the royal court.
Raspberry color goes especially well with red and cream. It will become a bright accent in a wedding photo shoot and will add originality to the bride’s image. Fiery passion also harmoniously combines with juicy red and fresh blue.
Hall and table decor
Shades of crimson are associated with a summer, bright and festive mood. Balloons and compositions made from them look beautiful in the design of the banquet hall.
Balloons made in the shape of bright raspberries highlight the focus of the holiday. Tablecloths and covers are chosen in white with crimson stripes along the edges.
If you decide to go with crimson tablecloths, then the main elements of table decor should be light, calm shades. Chair covers can be light, tied with ribbons in the main color of the wedding. Bright crimson covers with white or cream ribbons also look beautiful.
Glass vases filled with fresh raspberries, which are both a treat and a design element, look original.
As the vase is emptied, it is filled with fresh berries. In winter, juicy berries can be replaced with jam.
The dishes are white with crimson elements: this can be an ornament applied along the edges of the plates. Raspberry-scented candles will fill the room with a charming aroma.
No wedding is complete without fresh flowers. The table is decorated with flowerpots with flower arrangements of roses, peonies, hydrangeas, tulips, and orchids. A white buttercream cake decorated with cream roses and raspberries, perfect for a romantic wedding.
A multi-tiered dessert covered with bright pink or raspberry fondant will fit perfectly into the theme.
Color design of tables
When choosing fuchsia for your wedding decor, it's easy to make your reception areas inviting and positive. Tablecloths are acceptable with a general background of white, beige, or silver with expressive patterns of selected combinations. Special craftswomen will be able to make their contribution by embroidering original hieroglyphs or logos with silk threads. Fans of the “folk” style will love the ornaments that reflect the traditions of their homeland.
When the brown option is chosen, the design is calm and welcoming. The crimson color brings a note of joy, attractiveness, harmony, and good positivity.
Satin napkin rings, a cushion for rings, and decorations for the newlyweds’ glasses will come in handy and add originality.
When resorting to this method of decoration, it is rational to attract similar shades, for example, fuchsia.
The perfect option is the choice of dishes. White plates, dishes, vases, salad bowls look noble with a delicate raspberry print. An ornament around the perimeter, a small scattering over the entire area, and large single flowers in the center are possible. An addition to such a table is raspberry fabric napkins placed near each seat.

For the sake of expressiveness, it’s worth decorating chairs with this color scheme. Cases with a chic bow on the back are a worthy decoration. This will emphasize the sophistication of the event and prevent the decorations from becoming monotonous.
Dress code for guests
If the hero of the occasion chooses a classic white dress, her girlfriends can wear crimson outfits.
And vice versa: if the bride chose a purple dress, girls can wear outfits in lighter colors and highlight them with raspberry-colored accessories. The groom's friends wear shirts that match the main color of the wedding; cufflinks can be the same color.
Guests, at their discretion, choose bright outfits in blue, green, cream, beige, yellow, pink or orange.
Summary
A raspberry wedding will definitely be remembered by everyone present as a bright, unusual and positive celebration. Organizing such a holiday is simple, since most decorative elements and outfits can be made with your own hands. There will be no stereotyped actions or official speeches at the celebration - everything will be fun, easy and relaxed. If your idea is a wedding in raspberry color, designing photos for a family album with the help of a professional is simply necessary. In this case, the holiday will be remembered for a long time, and you will have something to show your children and grandchildren.

Ideas for a photo shoot
A photo shoot done outdoors will look fascinating. Nature itself will decorate your wedding photos.
Crimson looks great both against the backdrop of summer greenery and in combination with autumn yellow leaves and winter white snow. The arch is decorated with fresh flowers of rich colors in combination with yellow and beige. The accent will be twigs with ripe raspberries.
If the weather does not allow you to take photographs outdoors, you need to prepare the design of the room so that all the selected shades are combined with each other, as if flowing into each other.
The decoration will include fresh flowers, balloons, and beautiful furniture that matches the wedding theme.
Wedding transport in raspberry style
A wedding in shades of red is exactly the case when a large hot pink limousine will not look out of place. You can ride around the city with your loved ones in it.
Or rent a tiny crimson car just for the two of you. For example, Mini Cooper. It looks like a juicy berry on its own and will fit perfectly into your wedding cortege.
For those who like non-standard solutions, there are also unique solutions. Such as the crimson luxury limousine Excalibur Phantom. Wedding photos with this handsome man will take pride of place in the family archive.

Or surprise everyone by appearing at the Soviet Victory in crimson. The delight of the audience is guaranteed. Especially if it is a 1954 Pobeda convertible. But be prepared for the fact that witnesses will have to be put in another car. This baby has only three seats.
Raspberry invitation and cards for guests
You can make invitation cards or cards yourself or purchase them from a wedding accessories store. They should be made in bright raspberry shades.
Postcards can be decorated with pink and red flowers, hearts and satin ribbons. A pink envelope with white flowers and red rhinestones will look very gentle; inside it will be a themed greeting.
For each guest, you can prepare a small red box filled with raspberry candies or marmalade as a gift. Glue pink cards with the names of the guests onto it. This way, each invitee will know his place and will receive a pleasant gift from the young couple.
Image of a girl
There are many options for bridesmaid outfits: a snow-white dress with crimson decor, a romantic crimson dress with white lace.
Colorful jewelry is appropriate: berry-colored beads with green leaves, a wooden bracelet made of round crimson beads. A cascading bouquet matches a dress with a train.
Interesting! Haven't chosen your wedding rings yet? In this article we described all the nuances of finding the optimal option. And here you can find out how to decide on dessert.
It is appropriate to choose such bouquets for slender and tall ladies. They are not suitable for short girls, and a curvy bride will look ridiculous. Therefore, the classic is the round shape, which is a universal option. A bouquet of delicate shades suits a blonde bride, bright colors suit a brunette, and a combination of bright and pastel colors suits a brown-haired bride.
You can choose a snow-white dress and choose accessories in a bright shade. These can be details of the image: shoes, handbag, accessories, veil or hair clip. Playing with shades and colors will create a romantic, feminine and delicate look.
You can create a beautiful wedding bouquet yourself, but it is better to entrust this task to a professional florist. Then the bride will be happy, beautiful, and the bouquet will be another successful addition to the image. Thanks to such bouquets, the bride’s image will be refreshed and will look natural, young, and tender.
