The Purple Reign

The shade of royalty is the order of the day when it comes to a wedding color.

Purple and power have always been linked. In ancient Rome, purple dyes were so rare only the very rich could afford them. Today, the lovely hue is seen in bouquets, dresses, decorations, and desserts, but it still maintains an aura of elegance and richness. Purples that are in the dark royal shade are sophisticated and is suitable for low-lit ballrooms and floor length gowns. The color of Orchid gives the feminine, yet not untraditional feel, especially perfect for a garden wedding. Choosing a purple that leans more towards a blue gives a country casual feel like a bouquet of hydrangeas. Purple looks crisp and tailored when it is against a diamond white cake. Pairing the deep purple with blues and browns are a great classic look. For a more modern look, pair lavender with bright green or yellow. Whatever you choose, let purple ignite the passion in you!
