Continuing on with this week’s Kentucky Derby festivities, we thought it would be fun to put together an updated version of last year’s red rose round-up! (Newer readers, check it out here!) The Derby makes us want to dig up all sorts of horsey inspiration, but possibly none is more elegant and classic than weddings filled with red roses, the traditional flower of the winning horse’s wreath.

To be sure, red roses at weddings can be… outdated when done wrong. But they can also be lush and gorgeous when done right! Here are some of our favorites:

Bouquets, check. Moving on!

What do you think, ladies? Would you use red roses in your wedding? Would you use only red roses? Comment and let me know, and stay tuned for another Derby-themed post soon!

P.S. Can’t wait for one more piece of Derby inspiration? Check out a favorite surprise wedding here + here!
