Planning Your Wedding Around A Red Roses Theme

Brides who are looking for a romantic and affectionate wedding theme should consider a red rose theme wedding. A red rose theme wedding exudes femininity and desire. It is great for the mature couple looking for a lovely theme.

The biggest tip in planning decor for a red rose theme wedding is to use red roses in abundance, but do not use very much color otherwise. This is not to say you cannot use any other color at all however. Accents in black, white, ivory, and silver work well for this theme.

Just remember that if you want guests to really notice the red roses you cannot overpower them with too many other colors and accents. A red rose wedding is a formal event and works best in the evening. Couples planning a wedding under this theme may choose to make it a black tie event.

A great idea for a red roses theme wedding is to get ushers to present each female guest with a long stemmed red rose upon their arrival. Guests will love this touch, and will immediately be introduced to the wedding’s theme. When they enter the ceremony site, guests should immediately be able to recognize the theme of the wedding. Red rose petals should be thrown everywhere. Huge bouquets of red roses should line the front of the location.

Wedding party attire should be formal as well. Brides can choose to wear a white or ivory dress. Brides can also choose to wear a dress with red rose details designed into it. This is a lovely way for the bride to coordinate her attire with the theme. Tucking a red rose behind her ear is another way to do this as well.

Bouquets for a red rose wedding should be full with a simple design. Brides can carry a few dozen red roses, with their attendants carrying fewer in ivory or white. A round shaped bouquet is wonderful for this theme and will add to the look of the wedding.

Red roses can be used not only to decorate the ceremony, but the reception as well. Wedding cakes look elegant with red rose accents. Using actual rose petals, brides can quickly add the theme to their wedding cake. Roses are edible, so there is no fear of danger in using the flower with food. An interesting way to add red roses to food is to freeze red rose petals into ice cubes for the guests to use with their punch.

A great idea for a wedding favor in this theme is rose bushes. Rose bushes are inexpensive and guests can take them home to plant. They provide everlasting beauty and remembrance of your wedding day. A more costly favor is a gift certificate for a free bouquet of roses from a local florist. Both are wonderful ways to thank guests for sharing in your wedding bliss.
