We did red in August. To keep things simple, it was mostly red and ivory (my dress was ivory). I also added in irises as one of my Kappa elements in both my breakaway bouquet and one of the few arrangements I had. I also used cut limes in that arrangement to add another punch of color and tie in with our signature cocktail, the Brazilian caipirinha- limes, sugar, and sugar cane rum (cachaça). We also had fans as our favors- not the exact shade as the rest, but it was close enough. They were fun to play around with, even though it didn't get hot enough to use them for heat relief- but that's probably a good thing! My bridesmaids carried ivory calla lilies so they'd pop against their dresses- they each picked a different style. Here's a quick montage of some of our red... to be honest if I did it again (three years later), I would probably choose different colors. But that's life- I would do a lot of things differently if I were getting married now! Same groom, though
