Some colours can make your wedding luxurious, even without installations, backdrops, and decorations. And red and gold are two of these colours.

Red is an easy pick for a wedding since it represents love. But beyond that, red is a deep colour with a rich history. Ancient Egyptians saw red as a colour of vitality and celebration, very fitting for a wedding. Ancient Grecians used red on art to represent wealth, a colour that signifies luxury at its core.

Gold can make you think of precious metal. It reminds you of luxury, success, achievement, and triumph. Other representations of gold are royalty, wealth, and money.

Bring out the luxurious feel of your momentous day by adding these red and gold wedding ideas.

 

Wedding Décor 

Are you thinking of how to make your guests feel the luxury of your wedding in an instant? The answer is by creating a red and gold wedding décor ensemble. Wrap long tables with gold fabric and arrange gold Tiffany chairs on both sides. Next, put gold candle holders of different shapes and sizes. To complete the look, place red flowers inside tall narrow clear vases.  

 

Gold Bridesmaid Dresses & Red Groomsmen Suits

Extend the luxury to your entourage’s wedding fashion. Dress your bridesmaids in gold sequined dresses. If the weather allows, long-sleeved gowns can give your bridesmaids sophistication. The groom tribe will look dashing in red groomsmen suits and pants. The striking red colour will make all the single ladies turn their heads.

Wedding Bouquet

After the dramatic bridal walk, all the single ladies get excited as they wait for the bouquet toss. And if you’re the bride, you can increase the anticipation with a red and gold bouquet. You can put together red and gold-like roses and adorn them with gold leaves.  

 

Bridal Gown

A white wedding gown flowing as the bride walks down the aisle is glorious. But, a bride in a bold red wedding gown is a statement any wedding guest will forever remember. Score a dramatic entrance with a red wedding ball gown. For comfort, you can consider a dress with removable sleeves.

 

Bridal Hair Piece

Leave no wedding detail behind. Your hairpiece can help you achieve luxury in your bridal fashion. Look ethereal and divine with a gold floral crown. Make this gold hair accessory pop out even more with an updo hairstyle.  

 

Bridal Shoes

Spare a few pounds on a pair of gold heels that will give you the right height and confidence. For the budget-savvy bride, consider a pair of shoes you can wear even during other formal events.

 

Groom’s Boutonniere

It is not only the bride who can bring out the luxury in a red and gold wedding. A minimalist gold boutonniere with a leaf design on a groom’s jacket lapel will be enough.

One colour that also goes well with gold is black. So, a black groom's suit will bring out the shimmer of a gold boutonniere and complement the bride's red gown.

 

Groom’s Accessory

A classic pocket watch will give a vintage spin on your groom’s wedding fashion. You can also use this as a boutonniere. And if you are going for a steampunk vibe with red and gold as a colour palette, a gold pocket watch will come in handy.

 

Cocktail Drinks

Take the festivity of your luxurious red and gold wedding to a higher level with red cocktail drinks. You and your groom can even ask help from a certified bartender to create your signature red and gold mix. Serve it on your wedding day and see the level of enjoyment rise in an instant.

 

Wedding Favours

Let your guests feel the luxury of your red and gold wedding even after the celebration. A stem of red rose entrapped in a clear tube and adorned with gold details will look dreamy in anyone's home.

 

Conclusion

Gigantic installations at the entrance of the wedding venue will make any guest gasp in awe. Huge backdrops with flowers and lights can make guests think they are in a grand event.

But a creative play of colours is enough for a bride and groom to achieve a luxurious wedding. Take, for example, a wedding colour palette of red and gold. 

Use them on your wedding details and see how splendid your historic day can get. Add them to your wedding decor, favours, and bridal and groom's fashion.
