20 Bold Ideas for a Red Wedding Color Palette

Red Wedding Cake

Frost your wedding cake in a unique way. We love the muted red icing on this Sainte G. Cake Company and Swoon Floral Design dessert.

Red Bridal Bouquet

Peonies come in more colors than just pink! This lush bouquet by Opalia Flowers was composed entirely of red versions of the flower. The vibrant blooms contrasted beautifully against the bride's white wedding dress.

Red Wedding Dress

On this flipside, this custom red wedding dress was all sorts of stunning. Yes, that's right—you don't have to wear white.

Red Boutonnières

We love red combined with other jewel tones. These The Southern Table boutonnières boasted shades of the color, plus shades of green, blue, and purple.

Red Wedding Stationery

Even classic stationery suites can be dressed up in modern ways. This PS Paper and Monks of Age set came with a red-orange save-the-date.

Red Neon Sign

Talk about a bright idea! This couple used a red neon sign from Los Plebeyos to decorate their space. The heart-shaped light featured the words "me gustas tú" displayed inside the romantic shape.

Red Ceremony Accents

Draw attention to your ceremony with some color. BW Theory decorated this contemporary space with a deep red rug sprawled diagonally across a white platform.

Red Getaway Car

Red can be totally retro. Just take a page from this couple's book and drive off in a vintage cherry-colored vehicle after the wedding (they chose a Volkswagen bus).

Red Vow Booklets

Feel free to incorporate the color into your private details, too. This couple's Life in Bloom vow booklets were decorated with velvety red Honey Silks & Co. ribbons.

Red Signature Cocktails

These bright red drinks (with white sugar rims) served as signature sips. We think the colors would work great for a winter wedding.

Red Groom's Attire

The groom can make a style statement, too. This future husband looked dapper in a wine-colored tuxedo by Bryan Michaels. We suggest a similar outfit for fall.

Red Ceremony Backdrop

Set the mood with a romantic backdrop. Dark red drapery hung behind this couple's vow exchange.

Red Wedding Centerpieces

Turn to nature for gorgeous shades of red. These reception tables were decorated with bowls of fruit in the color, plus coordinating florals by TOAST.

Red Bridesmaid Bouquet

Give your bridesmaids red blooms to carry, too. We like the look of this simple Green Leaf bouquet.

Red Reception Accents

Flowers and fruit aren't the only ways to add red to your reception tables. These Hampton Event Hire, The Events Lounge, and Alstonville Florist tablescapes featured moody red candles.

Red Escort Cards

Sure, completely red escort cards are stunning, but these Woo Paperie & Press

white ones with fiery wax seals were especially unique.

Red Wedding Shoes

Make a statement with your shoes. This bride's bright red Christian Louboutin heels were unforgettable.

Red Venue

We can't get over the aura of this couple's ceremony venue: The red-wallpapered Sala del Tiepolo room in the Palazzo Pisani Moretta.

Red Groomsmen Attire

Here's another way to coordinate the fashion with the rest of your event's color palette. These groomsmen all sported burgundy ties (which went beautifully with the wedding's matching Karen Kelly floral arrangements).
