June is officially Rose and Romance Month, and this year, we’re seeing red in the best way possible. Enter: cherry-coded everything! From fashion to flatware, fruity motifs (cherries, strawberries, peaches, oh my!) are popping up in all the right places. So naturally, this delicious trend has found its way into the world of weddings and events. Whether you’re curating a sweet bridal brunch or a gorgeous ceremony backdrop, Marco Island Weddings in Marco Island, Florida is here for the cherry takeover. It’s bold, it’s flirty, and it’s exactly what your summer celebration needs.
What Is Cherry Coded?
“Cherry-coded” is the buzzy term behind this season’s most luscious trend: a rich, romantic red that’s showing up in everything from curated tablescapes to beauty looks. With its blend of flirtiness and elegance, the cherry hue is a natural fit for brides crafting stylish moments across their entire wedding journey — think bridal showers, bachelorette weekends, and day-of glam. While crimson accents in stationery and fashion create that first visual pop, cherry-coded is ultimately a celebration of confidence, boldness, and unapologetic charisma.
Rich Red Flowers & Arrangements
The most elegant way to channel cherry-coded style? Through fresh, statement-making red blooms. June is the month of red roses, after all, so what better time to embrace velvety red roses, rich anthuriums, striking dahlias, and delicate anemones in deep scarlet tones? Whether arranged in modern ceremony arches, sculptural centerpieces, or subtly romantic corsages, these florals bring undeniable drama. Pair them with lush greenery or soft whites and blush pinks for contrast and depth. The result? A perfectly balanced blend of boldness and beauty.
Styling Fresh Fruits
Red blooms lay the foundation, but to truly elevate your cherry-coded floral designs, don’t overlook the finishing touches. The current must-try? Fresh fruit accents. Cherries, raspberries, and strawberries — artfully nestled among the florals — bring in a rich, natural texture that feels both sophisticated and fresh. These edible elements add visual intrigue and an unexpected edge, creating centerpieces that are layered, lush, and completely on-trend. It’s a subtle yet striking way to bring the cherry-coded vision full circle.
Delicious Desserts & Signature Cocktails
No cherry-coded celebration is complete without an equally curated selection of red-fruit-inspired bites and sips. Think elegant Prosecco garnished with fresh cherries, a splash of cherry wine, or artisanal cocktails infused with muddled berries, herbs, and subtle chocolate notes. For a sweet finish, consider refined mini cherry galettes, strawberry tartlets, or red velvet cupcakes crowned with a single cherry. The combination is indulgent yet stylish, crafted for both the palate and the camera.
Fun Decor & Sweet Favors
Cherry-coded styling is all about a perfect balance: fresh yet romantic, feminine yet luxe. Bring the theme to life through curated decor elements like tinted glassware, deep red candles, satin napkins, and velvet bows that elevate the palette with rich texture. Layer in details like lace linens or monochromatic balloon installations for added sophistication. And for those unforgettable finishing touches? Consider cherry-hued favors like tinted glosses or artisan jam jars.
