Purple Weddings are Popular!

Did Did you know that purple is the most popular color for weddings?

Purple is the most stunning color theme for your most special day; your wedding day. Purple works for every season! For summer and spring weddings pastel and bright purples are recommended, while winter pairs well with deep purples. The pastels and bright purples are festive and fun. A deeper dark purple is chic and elegant. There are so many fantastic shades of purple. You can incorporate one shade of purple in your wedding, or use a few different shares of purple!

● Lavender

● Lilac

● Mauve

● Indigo,

● Violet

● Plum

Whether you are walking down the aisle of your church or perhaps a ceremony on the sand in Myrtle Beach, here are a few ideas to help you incorporate purple into your wedding.

Purple Wedding Flowers 

We all know it’s not a wedding without flowers! It seems like in every Hollywood wedding movie, when the bride is panicked, it is because something went awry with the flowers.

There are so many wonderful purple colored flowers. Bring life into purple with the following options...

● Purple Roses

● Purple Daisies

● Purple Tulips

You can incorporate them in your centerpieces as well as the decor. The special feature of course, a beautiful bouquet of purple flowers for you to carry down the aisle.

Purple Wedding Cakes

Let’s see how sweet purple can be! A purple cake with white accents would surely enlighten your palate. Or switch it around with a white cake and purple accents. Purple rose petals marching their way up the cake creates a romantic style.

Purple Wedding Decorations

The table settings are always part of the eye appeal at a wedding. Here are some ideas to incorporate purple…

● Line your tables with soft white linens and purple lace.

● Sparkle all night with diamond confetti and purple jewels at each table.

● Add some fun with a fishbowl centerpiece. Find purple fish and purple marbles to place at the bottom. Makes for a good gift if there are any little ones attending.

● Purple candles everywhere.

Purple Wedding Attire

Incorporate your primary purple into your wedding party.

● Purple bridesmaid dresses

● Purple ties for the groom and groomsmen

● Perhaps a purple sash around the waist of the bride’s gown.

● Purple shoes, or purple flip flops for a beach wedding.

● Purple jewelry

Purple Wedding Invitations

Your guests will get an indication of your chosen color scheme from the invitation! The style of your card will give your guests a hint of what is in store. If purple is your primary color, incorporate it in your invitation. You can make the background purple with a white or silver text. Of course you can switch the colors around with a white background and purple text. To finish the invitation off with sophistication, use a purple ribbon or a purple wax stamp to seal it.

Purple Candy Buffet

For an extra bonus to your reception add a candy table. It is a huge hit with the little ones and adults alike. Here is where purple has no limit. Grab every shade of purple candy out there. Use purple table clothes and glass jars with purple ribbons. Here are some sweet examples…

● M&M’s have a light and dark purple candy.

● Twizzlers

● Jelly Beans

● Taffy

● Gumballs

● Rock Candy Pops

● Pixie Sticks
