My favorite color is red and my mom&#8217;s said its a difficult color to use for a\u00a0summer wedding! I really need some suggestions! I want my dress to be champagne or ivory in color. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The only thing I have definitely decided is that at the reception I want hurricanes or pillars for centerpieces or it is tacky if I use both? Should the centerpieces be uniform throughout? The reception will be at a hotel and I&#8217;d like the room to take on a dramatic\/elegant look! I don&#8217;t want it to look like Valentine&#8217;s Day or the 4th of July! Please help as I have no sense of color! Mom says red is usually an accent color!! I have no clue!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h4>Bridal Stylist<\/h4>\n<p>I am going to leave the center piece suggestions to the flower expert, but I can help with color. Since we are the fashion expert being on top of the trendy colors and combinations is key. You definitely want to make sure that your color scheme is tasteful and classic.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7875\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7875\" style=\"width: 570px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/060642acebb2f9c6af0d2c4a486cee93-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7875\" src=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/060642acebb2f9c6af0d2c4a486cee93-1.jpg\" alt=\"red wedding ideas\" width=\"570\" height=\"760\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/060642acebb2f9c6af0d2c4a486cee93-1.jpg 570w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/060642acebb2f9c6af0d2c4a486cee93-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/060642acebb2f9c6af0d2c4a486cee93-1-500x667.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/060642acebb2f9c6af0d2c4a486cee93-1-472x629.jpg 472w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 570px) 100vw, 570px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7875\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7875\" src=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/060642acebb2f9c6af0d2c4a486cee93-1.jpg\" alt=\"red wedding ideas\" width=\"570\" height=\"760\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/060642acebb2f9c6af0d2c4a486cee93-1.jpg 570w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/060642acebb2f9c6af0d2c4a486cee93-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/060642acebb2f9c6af0d2c4a486cee93-1-500x667.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/060642acebb2f9c6af0d2c4a486cee93-1-472x629.jpg 472w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 570px) 100vw, 570px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/292663675755207439\/\">Pinterest<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>As far as the color red, you can use it as an accent color or your main color&#8230;that is up to you.

As far as elegent reception flowers go this is awesome. I worked on 3 differenmt big red weddings this year and nothing could be more elegant ..done properly. And, my dear that is the key. The way to make red work is easy. Go with all different shades of red&#8230;or reds and pinks&#8230;or reds and\u00a0oranges. But you must stay on the same side of the\u00a0color spectrum\u00a0to do it well. Stay away from mixing red and blues(Patriotic)&#8230;Or reds and Yellows (barbecue!) Sometimes red and purple can be ok but you have to be careful. Also keep the white out of it or you get Christmas.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7879\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7879\" style=\"width: 493px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/c4fb1fa69afaea55c05536a1ae4b2e67-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7879\" src=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/c4fb1fa69afaea55c05536a1ae4b2e67-1.jpg\" alt=\"red wedding centerpieces\" width=\"493\" height=\"744\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/c4fb1fa69afaea55c05536a1ae4b2e67-1.jpg 493w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/c4fb1fa69afaea55c05536a1ae4b2e67-1-199x300.jpg 199w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/c4fb1fa69afaea55c05536a1ae4b2e67-1-472x712.jpg 472w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 493px) 100vw, 493px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7879\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7879\" src=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/c4fb1fa69afaea55c05536a1ae4b2e67-1.jpg\" alt=\"red wedding centerpieces\" width=\"493\" height=\"744\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/c4fb1fa69afaea55c05536a1ae4b2e67-1.jpg 493w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/c4fb1fa69afaea55c05536a1ae4b2e67-1-199x300.jpg 199w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/c4fb1fa69afaea55c05536a1ae4b2e67-1-472x712.jpg 472w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 493px) 100vw, 493px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/210402613814949918\/\">Pinterest<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>My suggestion would be to look at a nice assortment of shapes and textures in the flowers you choose as well and to wick up the whole thing with plenty of\u00a0candles. In july lilies are in good season, so are roses and be sure to include happy filler flowers like asters and maybe some interesting foilages.<br \/>\nSince i did say not to mix the red with white I should probably mention a few things about your bridal bouquet. Yes..you can have a colorful bouquet &#8230;or else stick with white but please do not mix the red and white&#8230;back to the christmas rule. I think an all white , ivory and maybe slightly pale pink (or peach) mix would look best&#8230;or else a go for it with an all red and bright bridal bouquet.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7880\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7880\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/9ae9268baf7b71fb9e6fa28351b9914a-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7880\" src=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/9ae9268baf7b71fb9e6fa28351b9914a-1.jpg\" alt=\"red bridesmaid dresses\" width=\"600\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/9ae9268baf7b71fb9e6fa28351b9914a-1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/9ae9268baf7b71fb9e6fa28351b9914a-1-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/9ae9268baf7b71fb9e6fa28351b9914a-1-533x800.jpg 533w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/9ae9268baf7b71fb9e6fa28351b9914a-1-500x750.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/9ae9268baf7b71fb9e6fa28351b9914a-1-472x708.jpg 472w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7880\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7880\" src=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/9ae9268baf7b71fb9e6fa28351b9914a-1.jpg\" alt=\"red bridesmaid dresses\" width=\"600\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/9ae9268baf7b71fb9e6fa28351b9914a-1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/9ae9268baf7b71fb9e6fa28351b9914a-1-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/9ae9268baf7b71fb9e6fa28351b9914a-1-533x800.jpg 533w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/9ae9268baf7b71fb9e6fa28351b9914a-1-500x750.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/9ae9268baf7b71fb9e6fa28351b9914a-1-472x708.jpg 472w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/204139795584858948\/\">Pinterest<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In terms of reception centerpiece ideas go there is nothing wrong with mixing a few styles&#8230;But make sure the overall size and visual weight of both is compatible.
