A purple pop

Modern Wedding Posted: June 17, 2011

Purple is the colour of passion, royalty, magic and mystery. Lavender, purple, plum or violet – whatever you wish to call this beautiful hue, there is no mistaking that it  continues to be a very popular wedding colour!

Purple is feminine without being over-the-top girly. It is sophisticated, yet fun, bright and happy. Yes I am loving purple right now! I even made lavender coloured cupcakes yesterday!

I’m not the only one in love with the colour – I am seeing more and more styled shoots, dresses, flowers and cakes being created with purple as it’s focus. I wanted to share a little of my purple inspirations with you to end the week off.

So what do you think? Will you include a pop of purple into your wedding colour scheme?

We are loving the fresh colour combos coming through the doors – they are predominantly very feminine, soft and lush colours. We love to hear what colours you’re planning to have so use the comments section below or swing by Facebook or Twitter and have your say.

Have a fabulous and productive planning weekend!
