Since Ilford recommends a Cokin "P" red filter you'd need to determine what red filter by HOYA or TIFFEN or other manufacturers would be equivalent.

I've seen offers on ebay that include the Cokin filter.

♥ I think black & white are very elegant wedding colors (for a formal event) & the splash of color (red) is always nice to have. I don't have a problem with those colors at all. And as for the centerpiece I actually really like the glass bowl with water & floating candles or flowers. I don't know if I'd consider it "classy" per se, but I think its just fine for weddings!
