Wedding Inspiration: 10 Colours that Coordinate with Red

My future daughter-in-law, Christie, recently mentioned they are considering red as one of the wedding colours.  I think that is an excellent choice as it suits them both and it has always been my son, Malcolm's, favourite colour.  I suggested we (well, actually, that would be me) have a look at what other colours would go with red.  Having just done a post on paint colours that go with red accents, this was right up my alley.

1. You can certainly stick with tone-on-tone and have red flowers with a red bridesmaid dress,

2.  or keep it simple and have a red bridesmaid dress with white flowers.

3. Blue/turquoise/teal/aqua all look lovely with red.  It is likely easier to have the bridesmaid dress be in the blue shade and have the red in flowers and accents as there aren't many blue flowers.

4.  Gray (or even black) bridesmaid dresses with red flowers would look classic.

5. Red looks pretty with pink.  Here it is shown with a red bridesmaid dress and a pink and red bouquet.

Which one do you prefer?  I'll let you know what Christie's vote is after she has seen my stunning visuals (haha).

UPDATE: Christie has cast her vote - drumroll please - she likes number 8!  What a purty choice.
