February is the month of love… and for this reason SJinc decided to deviate from the pantone color of the month (which is Burnished Lilac, we will definately honor our tradition and post later during the month an inspirational video on that)
The colour of strength, health, and vitality. Red can also be symbolic of an increased enthusiasm or interest, confidence to pursue your dreams, and can symbolise power and passion. A deep Red, is commonly used in wedding reception venues for this reason and is often the color chosen by someone outgoing, vigorous and impulsive. People who love red are also often optimistic and open-natured.

Light red: Love, sexuality, joy, passion, sensitivity
While most couples lean on themes, such as “modern” or “bohemian” for the overarching concept of their nuptials, you can also turn to a splashy hue for the focal point of your celebration. A red-themed wedding is a daring yet romantic option for couples looking to make a colorful statement at their soirée.
Since the color red symbolizes joy, passion, love, and energy, the color is a natural fit for an event that commemorates a couple's love story. From rust to maroon, painting your big day in red tones is a versatile choice for any type of affair, especially rustic, romantic, or bohemian aesthetics.
From rust to maroon, painting your big day in red tones is a versatile choice for any type of affair, especially rustic, romantic, or bohemian aesthetics. Planner Allison Jackson explains that a claret red works well for a winter formal function, while a cherry red beautifully complements an outdoor summer bash. If you’re throwing down in the fall, you can use a red wedding theme to channel the vibrant shades of the color that burst from the trees during peak foliage. Since Christmas, Valentine’s Day, and the Fourth of July all feature the punchy hue in their décor, saying “I do” during or close to these holidays also makes red an apt choice, according to Sandra Jacobs
To execute this theme, turn to red as the main shade in your color palette, and then, pair it with complementary colors and textures. “Don’t be afraid to mix red with other vibrant hues, such as jewel tones, or colors close to red on the color wheel, such as coral, orange, or dark pink for a more subdued, sophisticated effect,” Sandra advises.
