Red... the ways I love thee...

Yesterday I mentioned I had a love/hate relationship with red. Whilst it certainly isn't my go-to colour, sometimes I think it's totally fabulous! So just for fun I've put together a few vignettes of how I DO like red, and naturally I had to pair each one up with an invitation from the Signature Collection. Now looking at these I may have to reassess my stance on red... perhaps having come with all these options I do like it after all. As long as it's on my own terms :-) What would you pair it with?

Love it with this chartreuse green, it's very funky and contemporary. And I like the industrial edge that the grey/charcoal lends it. I see quite a modern wedding in this colour scheme in an urban setting. Invitation: Letteria.

Ahh blue and red... could conjur up very patriotic red, white and blue images but not so with a softer rhubarb red paired with a pale blue, or a lovely turquoise. So so pretty! Invitation: Dauphine.

This is quite possibly my favourite; mixing the vibrance and strength of red with the earthy tones (did I hear a rustic in there?). Throw in some red ticking cloth and I'm all over it. Invitation: Dogwood.

How utterly divine does the red look with this apricot!! I think this combination oozes femininity - could be a struggle getting the Mr to go with it however! Invitation: Charleston.

And lastly, I'm pushing the boundaries of red per-say, it's more of a warm brick/terracotta shade but it's close. And it's so inviting with these autumnal tones. Invitation: Grove.

And there we have it, my little study of red!! Have a great day!
