Wedding Colour Pallets: Purple

purple

Purple is romantic and evocative. A purple pallet is mysterious and fun.

Purple seems to be a constant trend, probably because it’s incredibly versatile. Purple can be bold and passionate as well as charming and tranquil.

Remember good colour treatments, layer different shades and textures. Add flattering colours, such as white, gold, black and olive-green for a perfect finish.

More interesting facts. Purple combines the stability of blue and the energy of red. It symbolizes power, nobility, luxury, and ambition. It conveys wealth and extravagance. Purple is associated with wisdom, dignity, independence, creativity, mystery, and magic.

    Mercia & all your readers. I wanted to have deep colours for my wedding and my sister came up with the idea of using dark purple flowers with red roses. I was so sceptical at first but our flowers (especially my bouquet) looked awesome. I did what you said in the article, added black and gold to the purple and red. Purple is really very versatile. To all the brides out there: dont be scared to be bold.

    I agree. My mom was very sceptic as she wants my to go the traditional white with a pastel color, but luckily my ant climbed in and convinced her.
    Im going a very rich to dark purple with sunrise yellow and a yellowish cream. When my ant made up a table to show the example of the colors and the flowers she had in mind I fell in love… the colors looks absolutely stunning together.
