Clashing colours?

THAT red would really clash imo...

However, if you went for a more burgundy red and dusky deep purple, i think it could look lovely

Well I've thought about having black chair covers and the above red sashes, with purple vanda orchid & peacock feather centrepieces. Everything else might be in a plain colour or stick to the black feel, so that it's not overkill on the bright colours, and they're just accents.

In theory Red and Purple are Harmonising colours, in that they blend well and match well BUT they have to be the same tones, as in the flower images above. Remember that rule and you should be ok

We are having red as our main colour with a hint of purple. Our bridesmaids will be in red but the flowers and decorations will be red, purple and ivory. I wasn't sure at first but the idea came from a florist and when she showed us flowers together in those colours they looked lovely.

I agree - the purple would have to be a red based purple & then I think it would look lovely - I'm not sure cadbury purple would go for example. I've seen a lot of red & purple bouquets & they are really nice.

It won't let me add the pictures for some reason but I have a few red and purple themes on my pintrest.

I have tried the navy blue dresses and the groomsmen had black tuxes. It looked great. I would also like to have Fall colors but I am afraid they would clash with my fiance's reddish orange hair.
