Wedding Ideas With Damask & Raspberries
Design a trendy wedding using the rich color of raspberries and the classic elegance of damask print in your invitations, attire and decor. Mix shades of red and pink with black, white and silver to create multi-tonal damask designs and incorporate the different shades of berry colors. Berry shapes and prints throughout your attire, flowers and decor as well as crystal berries or berry-flavored favors round out the ideas.

Invitations
-
Damask-patterned backgrounds with solid overlays -- or vice versa -- create an elegant invitation that sets the tone for your ceremony and reception. Pair classic black and white damask with raspberry-colored ribbon, or use seals and stickers embossed with raspberry designs for a more literal interpretation. For a bolder look, use red-on-pink damask accented with black or white ribbon and an embossed raspberry seal.
Attire
-
A damask sash, fascinator, corset ribbon or patterned heels incorporate damask into bridal attire, while cummerbunds, vests, ties and pocket handkerchiefs offer opportunities to incorporate damask into the attire of groomsmen. For bridesmaids, damask dresses with solid sashes or solid dresses with damask sashes -- or alternating the two -- paired with raspberry-colored shoes and damask hair bands incorporate the design throughout the wedding party.

Decorations
-
Black and white tablecloths with damask table runners, alternating with damask cloths and solid runners, create a visually appealing room that is sophisticated and trendy. Place cards and table identification numbers decorated with raspberry-colored jewels contrast well with black and white damask, while crystal berries or jewels add shimmer to a brightly colored table. Table scatters like jewels or crystals mixed with artificial raspberries offer a literal interpretation of the theme.
Flowers
-
Fill vases with fresh or artificial raspberries and top with single white or red roses, then tie a damask print ribbon around the vessel. Jewel-toned low vases filled with black and white rocks and floating berry-scented candles, or fresh berries and floating candles, supplement between centerpieces and help facilitate conversation.
