In Indian weddings, there is no way you can escape the colour red. From a brides red mehndi, chooda, bridal outfit, sindoor to the red gathjoda that binds the couple together for the saath phera, the red hue holds a deep significance.  

Marsala is a combination of robust, earthy wine red and maroon. You could say the colour of a pomegranate, only darker. This extremely beautiful and rich shade can be incorporated into your bridal attire, décor, invite, cake, favours and more. If you’re looking for ways to incorporate the subtly seductive Marsala in your wedding, we’ve got tons of inspiration right here. Let’s begin!

Marsala Wedding Invitations

For wedding invites, the best way you can play safe is by keeping the envelope Marsala coloured while your cards can be a simple white with the details written in Marsala hue. Should you want to try a trending technique, laser cut wedding invitations in Marsala hue or water coloured invites could be the best choice.

Marsala Wedding Cake

What’s a wedding without a cake? Tasteless, we say.

For wedding cakes, you can either go for dainty Marsala coloured flower additions or paint the whole cake Marsala, either way they’re a feast to the eye and tummy.
