Tips for Your Red Wedding Invitations

Thankfully, there are so many shades of red and you can take your time to pick the one that suits you. One important thing in choosing the wedding invitation is the paper thickness. Depending on the number of folds you would then choose the thickness paper for the right design. If it is a single page then a thick paper would be suitable and would be good. As the number of folds increase the thickness of the paper should be as little as possible. Paper stock can also add elegance to your invitation finish and that means you can afford to go easy with your design.

More Mistakes to Avoid for Your Red Wedding

Previously, I wrote an article on How To Plan A Red Wedding - Common Mistakes To Avoid. By now, you should know that choosing a red wedding dress is a decision you ought to be careful about. Other than having a bid personality and impressing your guests with your beautiful gown on that day, there are a few more mistakes you want to avoid.

Fuchsia Self Mailer with White Card
$192.90

You want to make sure that the quality of your red gown is very high. While a white or ivory dress can be purchased with lower priced materials and look simply stunning, this isn’t always true with red. The wrong materials or shade of color can give it a very unflattering look.

First of all, even if it isn’t all that expensive make sure the materials are higher quality and don’t have any shiny sheen to them. Next, look for a deeper rose red over a more orangy crayon red.

$112.90

The last mistake to avoid is going way overboard with too much red. The most stunning weddings are created when the red is well balanced with other colors, both in the wedding party’s outfits and in the surrounding decorations. You don’t want literally everything in sight to be plain red.

One really nice combination is for the bride to wear a solid white gown while the groom dresses in a bright white tuxedo with touches of red and/or another accent color. The bridesmaids can also be used as accent colors to the bride’s gown. Some of the best colors to coordinate with a red wedding are particular shades of pink, chocolate, ivory, or bright white.

If you can avoid these common mistakes that come with planning a red wedding, you are off and running to a beautiful wedding day. Just make sure you don’t fall into any of the other common mistakes which have nothing to do with the color of your dress!

How To Plan A Red Wedding - Common Mistakes To Avoid

Wearing a bold red wedding dress would be nothing new in China where it has long been a tradition, but brides all over the globe are now picking up this fashion trend as well. If you are ready to ditch the boring white and jazz up your big day with something more suiting to your exuberant personality, then you may be considering a red wedding. That is great news, as long as you know the common mistakes that are often made.

Double Happiness Favor Boxes
$20.25

It is often assumed that you can plan a red wedding just as you would a pink or ivory wedding, but this is simply not true. For the most part it is the same, but since red is so bold and can easily become overdone, there are some special considerations with this color.

If you have ever been to a wedding that was just totally overboard and blown out of the water, you know that it is not always a great thing.

For starters, every bride’s gown should match her personality. Following that rule, think of the outgoing personality that you would need to adequately carry a solid, bright red wedding dress down the aisle. One of the biggest mistakes brides often make is to go with too much red when everyone watching them knows they are too reserved and shy for the color.

So, does that mean the more reserved cannot have a red wedding? Of course not! You should consider going with white or ivory with red details and accents, rather than a solid red dress. This will tailor the dress to your personality while sticking nicely with the red theme.

If you have a very big personality, then your guests are likely to nod their head and confirm that you carry that red gown very well. If you have a smaller personality, they may wonder why you chose such a color!
