A customer requested for a red and white push pop wedding cake and I was thinking of making red and white velvet cake. But due to the humid hot weather in my country, I worry that the cream cheese frosting  might turn bad as the wedding will be held in an open hall (non-aircon).

So I'm trying to find out if there are any other frosting that goes with red velvet cakes? Thanks in advance.

Vanilla buttercream works great! They also sell cream cheese emulsions, though I'm not crazy about the flavor.

The other traditional frosting for red velvet cake is Heirloom frosting made from cooking milk and flour and then slowly beating in the butter.  Taste is not too sweet and the consistency is similar to Swiss Meringue Buttercream.

Yes, Heirloom and Ermine are the same.  I think it tastes like a combination of marshmallow and whipped cream.

Emulsions are sort of like a thick, stronger version of extracts, to add flavor. There are cream cheese emulsions available, which you would just add to your buttercream in place of whatever other flavor you would normally use. I tried a cream cheese emulsion for a red velvet cake about a year ago, but it was not universally loved. I thought it had a weird, sour taste, but some of the guests loved it.
