My fiance would really like red to be our main wedding color which is fine with me. I was thinking black would look really elegant with the red. He wants bright red like the Detroit Red Wings since they are his favorite hockey team. I like the idea of red roses for centerpieces and bouquets, but I am stuck on what color the bridesmaids should wear. We are thinking the guys will wear black tuxes and don't really want the bridesmaids in black as well. I think it would look like they are attending a funeral instead of a wedding. I am worried if I go with red that the bouquets will blend in with the dresses or clash if they are two totally different reds. I have included some inspiration photos. Please help!

    If you want to put the girls in red dresses, could you do a black rose bouquet?

    Sounds pretty, but my fiance is the one with the issue with black.

    I originally wanted the woman on my fiance's side in black, but he is the one that vetoed that idea because he said it would look like she was in mourning. I love wearing black, but he hates that I never wear any color. He would definitely throw a fit about black bridesmaids dresses.

    I'm not a huge fan of color which is why I was thinking silver/gray.

    I think it is very pretty, but my fiance wouldn't. He vetoed the woman on his side because he said it would look like she was attending his funeral rather than his wedding.

    I hadn't thought of that. I will definitely look up ideas.
