Red is the color of romance and passion, so it is a fitting color for a wedding. With so many shades of red, a wedding planner or bridal party do not have a shortage of choices for mixing colors to create wedding centerpieces. For wedding tables, shades of red should be lavish and the decorations should reflect the bride and groom's personalities and wedding theme.

1. Fresh Flowers

   • Red roses symbolize romance.

     For a red theme, decorating a wedding table with red flowers creates a romantic ambiance. In addition to roses, begonias, carnations, hibiscus, tulips, poinsettias, hollyhocks and petunias are suitable choices for decorating a red wedding table. To make the flowers pop, use a red tablecloth with a white tulle overlay cloth, then sprinkle the flower petals of your chosen flower over the top. In the center of the table, use large, clear glass vases with your favorite red flower arrangements spilling out in a large-format bouquet. Float red roses in water in small glass vases in a line on the center of the table. Along with the flowers, use red plates and silk napkins.

   Candles

   • Small votive candles intermingled with the pillar and taper candles can help finish off a look.

     Craft and home decor stores offer red pillar and taper candles in bulk. Gold candelabras draped with red and gold beads and topped with the red beaded or red wax pillar or tapered candles help create a "Phantom of the Opera" look. Using large candelabras measuring 2 to 3 feet tall creates a dramatic look, especially if the bases of the candelabras are draped with red panne velvet and gold organza accents. For the table, use a red-accented tablecloth with a gold table runner to make the red candles pop.

   Balloons

   • Balloon bouquets are less expensive than fresh flowers.

     Red pearlescent latex balloons can be used to create balloon bouquets on a wedding table. To make a balloon bouquet, use a helium machine, balloons and ribbons. If you have a secondary color for your theme, use this color in conjunction with the red pearlescent balloons if you want. The bouquets can be as large or as small as you want, but make sure each balloon is the same size- this can be determined with a balloon sizer. Tie all the balloons together with red ribbon around the balloon necks and secure to small sandbag wrapped with shiny red paper to finish the look. Place these bouquets on the center of the table and give them away as wedding favors to children who attend your wedding.

   Ostrich Feathers

   • Ostrich drab feathers are less expensive than femina ostrich feathers, so these are a money-saving option for brides.

     Ostrich feathers add a touch of elegance and glamor to a wedding table, especially if the wedding has an old Hollywood feel. Centerpieces can be completed with 15 to 40 large, red-dyed ostrich feathers in a large vase with red fish rock or glass marbles filling the vases almost completely to the top. The filler will help keep the feathers in place during the ceremony. With the ostrich feathers, you can place a large centerpiece that measures 2 to 3 feet in height in the center, with smaller centerpieces measuring 1 to 2 feet high about 2 feet away on either side of the large centerpiece to create an elegant look. To add contrast, use some white ostrich feathers.
