Red Colour Scheme

Inspiration

The biggest colour around this season is red. No matter the shade from bright pillar box to deep crimson, red is everywhere and on everything- shoes, coats, bags, gloves, hats – believe me everywhere! Red is however pretty hit and miss for weddings. Not everyone is keen on it, as the strong colour can be thought  too harsh for a pretty wedding. It’s all down to personal preference, but if you’re unsure of how to add touches of the colour of passion have a look at our stunning finds, which prove that red can work on your wedding day.
