Where your guests will wait

A great way to set up the theme is by placing great flower arrangements in strategic points on the waiting areas.
Whether this is a bar area, a lounge prior to entering the main venue, you need to make sure that the spirit of the theme is also embedded in this waiting spaces, preparing your guests to what is to come.
For example , use different red flowers in a black vase that has a vintage look.
You do not need to overdo it , just placing one or two around the waiting room will make an impact on the overall look of the area.

Note also the use of tea lights at the base of the arrangement to help bring the romanticism and contrast with the vase.

A great entrance

Have you ever entered a room and just took your breath away?
That is exactly the atmosphere you want to create for your black and red wedding theme.

Black antique chandeliers help bring the glamour of the vintage soirees and great drinks alive.

Inside the venue the floral arrangements are short, making you guests able to see and talk across the tables.
Tea lights are also located at the base of the centerpieces to create that romantic feel.

To bring the glam to the venue , you can also opt to use black linen on your table settings. Black table cloths and chair covers could be easily accentuated with red char sashes and red napkin rings.

Dressing the part

While a traditional wedding dress is always in a bride to do list, there’s a strong trend going on.

Changing into a second dress to party the night away is chosen by many brides now, so if you are game and you want to dance to the 1920’s style, you could change for part of your celebration in a fun Red Flapper Dress.

Too drastic of a change for you on your wedding day?
Wear a romantic Long Red Halter Dress instead.
