Red and black? Sounds good. But it is always nice to have a thrid color. And I am assuming it would be white. .
Lighting, Location & Love
The basic elements for planning your wedding reception and reception decorations will be determined by the location you select. Some of the reception decorations will also be based on the type of food and serving you choose. Planning the reception decorations is all a part of the details of planning the wedding reception.
Wedding receptions have six basic elements in their planning:
Location
Physical Comforts
Reception decorations
Catering
Music
Dancing
These elements come into play based on the reception location, especially if you are planning a wedding in a place where it’s a blank slate. Some locations already have their environmental décor that will play a part in the reception decorations and you need to take that into account with your planning. There are many ways to take care of your decorations including rentals. Renting some of the accessories can save you money.
The ambience of your reception decorations includes your:
Lighting
Place settings
Drapes
Flowers
Balloons
The lighting choices can be as simple as twinkle lights and votive candles. Your place settings can be simple or elaborate. The drapes can be made of tulle, gossamer or silk. Your flowers can match those at the wedding or be individual to the reception itself. Balloons offer a fanciful touch to the decorations.
There are so many options that you can explore with your reception decorations that the list could be endless. Decide on a venue, decide on a theme and then let that help you choose the overall look and feel you are going for with your reception decorations. You can add shallow bowls of water with candles floating in them. You can mix and match your wine goblets. You can transform candles with wrapped ribbons. Go crazy when you plan your reception decorations and create the perfect venue to celebrate your first few hours as newlyweds.

Sounds absolutely beautiful! I put some sources to spark your imagination. My only advice is to take it easy on the white. White will be the most bright impact of the colors and should be used in moderation to avoid the visual suggestion of (how can I say this politely?) pepe la pew (the skunk).
Me personally, I'd do the bridesmaids and the groomsmen in black. Do red accents for the groomsmen and red bouquets for the gals. Do the flower girls in white with red rose petals.
Stay true to one main color, use the white and the other color as splash accents. Congratulations & good luck!

Red is cool, you can do a lot with it. My wedding colors are red, gold and ivory. For my centerpieces I'm going to have red roses. Which I'm buying in bulk from Sams Club. I'm also going to have a candy buffet, with mostly red candies (sweedish fish, boston baked beans, and differnt chocolates). I'm not sure when your wedding is, but I waited til the day after Valentines day and went and bought a whole bunch of red decorations, and other stuff for 75% off.

I think it would be really pretty to have red bridesmaid dresses with a black sash. Red gerber daises are very pretty and much less expensive than roses. I recommend using white lights during the reception too. It looks so good!
