Tips for Choosing Red Wedding Invitations

You cannot expect guests for your red wedding, until and unless you entertain them with invitation cards. Invitation cards are the most essential part of a wedding ceremony. Any occasion is incomplete without them. Therefore, invitations for your red wedding day should be chosen with great care and devotion. They help in determining the number of people arriving on the wedding day. Only after you get an approximate idea of the number of guests you will be receiving, you can continue with the further proceedings, like booking the venue according to the number of people and also the catering.

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.

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.

Claret Romance Invite with overlay
$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!

A Red Wedding is Bold and Beautiful

What do you think of when you are invited to a red wedding? What does red mean to you?

Red is the color of love, and it’s also a traditional wedding color in both Chinese and Indian cultures. But it is a beautiful and bold wedding theme to consider for a summer or fall wedding. If the color code is not done properly it will spoil the elegance and sophistication of the wedding.

Red wedding is very popular with Asian Chinese since the Chinese view red as a lucky and auspicious color. Therefore, in the olden days, Chinese brides wear a rich red frock on their wedding day. Think about setting accents of red, white, maroon or your favorite color. The colors in my wedding are white, green, and peach and my girls are in light corals. The guys aren’t crazy about reds but I have to say that a groom in red tie can look very stunning.

For the traditional Chinese, sometimes a pair of dragon and phoenix can be found on a red wedding invitation. Red is the symbol of happiness and ultimate joy, thus the color red is used for all celebrations including Chinese new year and other auspicious occasions.
