3. The Green Garden. Organic weddings are becoming more and more popular nowadays, thus you can come up with a fusion wedding consisting of the cool green colors and deep reds. Greens make your wedding look and feel one with nature, just the way Buddhists would want it to be. The reds on the other hand keep the feelings on high spirits thus despite celebrating your union in an open-air venue you can feel your strong emotions of love and passion intact. Since this is an organic wedding, you can serve dishes that promote fruits and vegetables, and less on the meat.

Green is the new general trend
4. Go for gold! Why not make use of that golden tan on your red wedding? Red glitters more with a Midas’ touch, thus you can decorate your venue with everything gold. Gold symbolizes style and elegance, while red is the color for prosperity, thus the union of these two shades would open the path to a life filled with luck and good fortune for your and your loved one. We all know that the red dress always attracts attention, and on your wedding you will be remembered as the most beautiful tan bride that has ever walked the earth. Don’t forget to add some glitter on your skin to make your tan shine.

5. The white delight. If you prefer an indoor wedding but still want to stay updated with the summer season, then why not infuse your bright red ideas with the traditional wedding color: white. This makes perfect for morning weddings, before the sun sets ablaze at noontime. You may decorate your venue with white tablecloth, but be sure to spread red rose petals to keep the red effect intact. White and red cakes are also becoming more and more popular nowadays, especially those that use strawberries and cranberries for pastry filling. You can ask your pastry chef to make you that white and red wedding cake. Remember that white blends with almost every color, thus the union of these two colors would always make the perfect team.

6. Red Earth. If you prefer a more subtle touch in your summer wedding but still want the red shades to stand out, then why not make a good tandem with the earth tones? Unlike the golden touch, natural browns keep you radiant but still attractive, as the red shades dominate the whole venue. This theme is suited for outdoor barbecue weddings, especially when you plan to have simple, laid back,close-knit wedding that would be attended only by your closest friends and family. You can then serve roasted meat and chili dishes with the usual red wine that allow your guests to have a good bonding moment as well.
