Roses Are Red

Nothing connotes "true love" like a red rose, or in this case two dozen red roses.

This bride and groom wanted tradition with a twist. That look was achieved by using quantities of rich, red roses.

Traditional white wedding invitations engraved with black script and sealed with red sealing wax imprinted with a rose beckon guests to partake in the happy event.

The ceremony site was decorated with traditional white tulle pew bows, which spilled onto the floor and an altar arch entwined with more tulle .

Bridesmaids, in champagne Vera Wang, carried bouquets of one dozen red roses while the groom and his men wore classic Evan Picone tuxedos in black with red rosebud boutonnieres.

Fresh red roses embellish the traditional white tiered wedding cake. White linen table cloths serve as an elegant backdrop to floating roses in crystal bowls. White candles provide ambiance.

As the evening winds down, departing guests are given long stemmed red rose buds, tagged with a thank you from the bridal couple.
