{Red+ White}
I don't know about you, but I love red in a way that I don't love most colors. I guess you could say it's definitely on my favorites list. I suppose what I love most is the fact that red is such an intense color that it truly makes a statement in small quantities. Take these yummy looking cherry topped cupcakes for instance. They're simple and sweet and that little pop of red really has a way of standing out! But here's the thing...red sort of has a bad rap for being overplayed when it comes to weddings. Am I right? I mean...I get it. Red is the color of love and so it doesn't make for the most unique color choice. So I had this idea...Not to sway all you red lovers out there who are considering using red for their weddings, but I propose that using red would make for such a fun engagement party and/or a bridal shower palette. {continued...}

I mean, don't get me wrong red can be used in all kinds of pretty ways on your wedding day! I just happen to think that the idea of using a red palette along with cheesy red hearts like the ones shown attached to this pretty pair of heels seems sort of fun and playful and a theme best suited for a pre-wedding party. Oh, and being a red lipstick girl myself, I can definitely appreciate anyone who decides to rock red lipstick. To me, there is nothing more exciting than to see red used in a way that pops! So whether you opt to use red on your wedding day or for one of your pre-wedding parties, just know that you have my approval! xo

You know I have always disliked red. It's always been too harsh or bright for me but when done right I think it can absolutely be so stunning. This collage above proves my thoughts exactly. Gorgeous work, Chrissy :) xoxo
Love the red lips. I just bought two red lipsticks for fall! Now I just have to remember to wear them :)
There is definitely something about red that really makes it special...I mean c'mon, there aren't any songs about the "lady in green" or the "lady in purple"...but you can bet your buttons there is one about red (c: Loved the inspiration!
loving this post. It's full of the good stuff =)

You truly crack me up! Even when I see your pins on Pinterest, I have NO idea what you're going to do with them and we NEVER come close to using them for the same thing!! I always love what you do and even though we are both in the creative industry, I'm sure my brain will NEVER work like yours!! xoxo
Love the theme and the color choice is totally sweet! Thanks for sharing the cakes!!!
I think this might be my favorite post just because I am so in LUST with this color. Red is one of my faaaaaaaaaves!!

how fun are those vivienne westwood shoes!
Beautiful! My wedding color was red and white (for me). Before I chose those for myself I almost picked a red and aqua color...very Japanese...which I was going to go for originally. Didn't really work out with an Oct wedding. Wish I got married in the spring!!
Red is so vibrant... I'm w/ you on the red lips! xo
Oh how I've always loved the Vivienne Westwood shoes and Jenny Packham dress. Red is my fave color
Think red can be quite a scary colour as it is so vivid but you really have shown how classic and gorgeous it can look! Love it!
Love the cupcakes & the shade of red!
LOVE this palette! And those cupcakes look delish!
I was just looking red and white polka dots party goods today...this board is so pretty and of course those cupcakes are making me hungry.
LOVING the red!
pretty little cupcakes with a cherry on top - what could be better?!
cherries :) I love those things.

Love this palette and the adorable, yummy cupcakes for a bridal shower. An engagement party would be very sexy in red! My mom loves red and I bet she wishes either mine or my sisters weddings were red! ;)
Delicious!!!
Red is considered "luck" in Asian countries.And also its the color of love in many aspects.
Red is the color of love..It create charm after seeing it..and so it doesn't make for the most unique color choice...thanks
We absolutely love your palettes!
Love the pop of red on the lips with the delicate headband!
This is stunning, thanks for always keeping us up to date with colors!
The red lips are killer! I really love how the red pops against the white- so much softer than red and black.
I loved tour post...great pictures above...red is my favorite color...as its the color of love..red can be also taken as the color of hatred ...but i take it as the color of love..it depends..
Those cupcakes just look delicious!
