An elegant colour scheme for a wedding is black and white, if you add red to the mix it is a very adaptable scheme as well. The emphasis on white and red gives a bright atmosphere, use alot of black on the chair covers and centrepieces and a more Gothic feel is achieved.

Here we at Glamourous Gowns have collected pictures for bridal bouquets, bridesmaids and wedding dresses and reception too. The actual shades and depth of colour can be adapted to your taste.

Buy organza or tulle in black and red to make ceiling swags or chair sashes - Just £7 per 40cm x 9m roll of organza or £12.50 per 29cm x 25m of chiffon, wide wired edge ribbon also works well to make chair sashes.

We have not tried to be comprehensive but to give a flavour of items that could be used.

The dresses shown are Forever Yours Fantasy gowns in red or black and white and for the bridesmaids gowns we have used a selection of Expressions bridesmaids by Forever Yours.
