Dazzling Red Combinations That'll Make for a Fairytale Wedding

Red is a colour that can never be overused at an Indian wedding. While most of us think it is because the colour signifies the bond of love, what we do not realise is that red is also a colour that is considered to be auspicious and is a part of all the traditions in our culture. From the importance of sindoor and lal bindi for a married woman to be one of the main colours during festivities, the colour of red is everywhere and we cannot deny its significance.

Therefore, we thought why not help our millennial couples crack the perfect red combination that will work like magic in making their Indian wedding a super hit.

Brides Ravishing In Red

Well, our list of red combinations for a millennial wedding had to start with the gorgeous brides that almost overpower everything with how stunning and beautiful they look at their wedding.

The Classic Red Bridal Lehenga

When we say that the bride walked in wearing a red lehenga there is a certain imagination that everyone has of how her lehenga might be. We are talking about that red bridal lehenga which everyone imagines to have the perfect shade, intricate work, a rich fabric, and a style that fits the bride like a glove. This red velvet lehenga is what we call as the perfect red combination that every bride needs to make her D-day even more memorable. 

The Elegant Silk Red Saree

While lehengas are extremely popular amongst brides, there are many that prefer sarees over it as they look more elegant. This gorgeous silk saree in a tomato pinkish-red colour paired with a red velvet high neck blouse that has worked all over seems to be the perfect wedding day saree in red combination for brides. 

The Red & Gold Combination

The combination of red and gold is iconic for brides, but what we love about this bridal outfit that uses the red combination is how the silk lehenga choli focuses more on the colour gold with red being an undertone and is paired with a bright red dupatta that almost pulls all the focus towards itself at once. 

Grooms Killing it in Red

While red may not be most groom’s favourite choice of colour for their wedding outfit, there is something about the idea of a groom making an entry in red that we love. So here are some of our favourite ideas for groom’s outfits in red combination.

Accessorising with Red Shawl

This one is for the grooms that are not very comfortable with an all-red outfit for their wedding day. The off-white sherwani paired with a bright red shawl is completing the groom’s look with utmost charm without making it look too red.

While Bandhgalas are quite famous amidst the millennial grooms, this floral Bandhgala is more millennial than anything we have ever seen. From the choice of colour to the print and the entire look of pairing it with a black and golden safa and the glares make for the perfect addition of red combination to your wedding. 

The Indo-western Sherwani

Last but not the least for our grooms is the indo-western red sherwani that uses drape to make for an unusual choice on the wedding day. The colour and the style for this one make it an apt choice for grooms that are looking to make a statement with their red sherwani. 

Beautiful Red Combination Mandaps

After the bride and groom, what we are the most excited to see is the mandap and how it has been designed as a perfect backdrop for when two people in love decide to tie the knot forever.

The Rustic Dome Mandap

With the backdrop of sea, this mandap uses red flowers, leaves and even branches to create a rustic dome that just seems like the perfect red combination you need for your wedding. This is one of the most magical setup for the pheras that we have seen using bare minimum things and keeping it rather simple. 

Red Mandap with Kalire

Now here’s an example of a more modern mandap setup that uses red fabric to make the mandap and the auspicious Kalire to hang as decorative pieces. While the ideas seem simple, when put together, it looks extremely beautiful.

Red Combination for Ceiling Décor

After the mandap, we are sure you will be eager to know you can use the red combination to crack breath-taking ceiling décor ideas. Well, here are some examples.

The Palatial Red Décor

The use of red flowy fabric to give the ceiling a palatial feel is not enough as the chandeliers, in this case, are creating the magic that this ambience requires. The addition of flowers to the chandelier and especially roses can take the idea of red combination even further and make your banquet look one of a kind and extravagant. 

Flowers & Bird Cages

Now, this is another example of how simple ceiling décor ideas can create red combination magic at a wedding. Here the ceiling is embedded with red flowers and in addition to it, the vintage birdcages are adding the rustic feel to this theme. 

Table Décor Ideas Using Red Combination

Last but not the least on our list of red combination ideas for a wedding is the table décor. While the mandap and the ceiling all matter, the fat of the matter is that your guests will be seated on the table and therefore cracking the perfect table décor idea is important to make the red combination a hit at your wedding.

Table Cloth & Chair Covers

One of the simplest ways to have the best table décor is to work on the perfect table cloth and chair covers. In this case, the rich red and gold table fabric makes for the perfect addition to Indian wedding décor and the chair cover adds more grace and completed the décor idea.

Flowers & Flower Bouquets

Another way of creating the perfect red combination with your table décor is by investing in flowers. This table décor idea uses a bunch of red flowers as the table runner and huge vases filled with red roses as the centrepiece to make for an extremely detailed red combination table décor idea. 

While these are just a few simple ideas to make your wedding breath-taking, the fact is that using the colour red for your outfits or your décor makes the job much simpler. It is the colour that adds opulence as well as grandeur to everything at a wedding. So if you’re confused about whether to choose a red combination theme wedding or not, we’d say go for it without a doubt.

Do you agree that a red combination theme wedding gives you goosebumps purely because of how beautiful everything looks?
