Refined luxury with a hint of fun – perfect for adding a playful edge to an otherwise sophisticated setting.
Hot To Go
Add these pieces to get the wed in red look
Want to create the look for yourself? The approach is‘ more is more’. Mix your shades and textures to create depth to your setting and don’ t shy away from bold accents – this trend is not about being subtle, it’ s about intentional, stylish choices.
When it comes to backdrops, the choice is yours. This look lends itself to stripped back, white, minimalist venues just as well as it does country estates with heritage heirlooms. With white, or neutral backgrounds you can really use red wherever you like to create your desired style.

If the background is darker, or there’ s dark wood or beams to contend with, then opt for brighter shades like pillarbox red to create balance and enhance the darker tones.
A big fashion trend for 2026 is heart print – and that’ s finding its way into the wedding aesthetic too. From subtle red loveheart earrings to patterned ties, if you want to break the mould and switch up your outfits and accessories then this is the time to go for it.
Red of course symbolises love and passion which is why it’ s the perfect colour to include in a wedding palette. In some countries it’ s also thought to be lucky, so not only will it look enchanting, using red as your colour of choice may also bring you some fortune as you head into married life …
