What color petals should i get for the aisle?

Jazmyn, on November 8, 2019 at 4:57 PM Posted in Style and Décor 0 10
My colors are deep red (almost burgundy), navy, gold, with a hint of blush. I’m ordering 5,000 petals from Costco to scatter down the aisle. They have “red” or “white”(ivory).

I would definitely prefer red but I’m worried the red would be too bright, but I have no way of knowing the true color until the arrive the day before the wedding. Should I just do ivory? Does it matter? The red in my wedding is really an accent, bridesmaid dresses are gold.

    Hi Jazmyn,

    I would go with ivory. I would also be worried about the red being too bright and standing out too much.

    Ivory! Red would be pretty too but you want your accents to stand out.

    Have you thought about mixing the red & ivory together? You could also do an ombré style 😊

    I feel like red would pop out so well though but ivory would go better

    Thank you, I hadn’t thought about that. I did ivory!

    That’s a really good point! I want the aisle to compliment everything else, not be the center of attention,

    Ivory AL the way. Some venues won't even allow red petals because they can stain! I would hate for my dress to be stained (well, ever) but especially before the reception even started
