What is the colour of good luck?
Well, if you were to rely on modern day references you might say green. But if you were to ask an Asian person reasonably in the know, they would say red.
Considered to be an auspicious colour of good fortune and happiness, it is always to be found in a traditional wedding. In fact, for those who take this very seriously, the colour white on that day is nowhere to be found.
This used to pose a bit of challenge for those planning a wedding about which direction to take with the wedding flowers. Western tradition used to dictate lighter coloured flowers be used, but thankfully wedding flowers in red are no longer so rarely seen that they draw the gasps of the guests who might say quietly “I can’t believe her flowers are red!”.
Now this dramatic colour can be seen everywhere from bouquets and arrangements to centerpieces.
