Inspiration for a Purple Wedding

Modern Wedding Posted: October 22, 2012

Merry Monday Modettes today marks a new week, another day closer to your wedding and the day we celebrate PURPLE. Often the poorer cousin of pink, this colour is making its mark on stylish wedding palettes all over the country, offering a perfect shade for every season – think deep plum in winter, lovely lavender in spring and pretty pastels for summer.

Purple works best when it is simply ‘popped’ throughout a colour scheme. Mix with ivory, cream or the palest of pink. We are still loving the use of fresh lavender in bouquets, on cakes or as part of a bomboniere. Purple brings a feeling of freshness, of vibrancy and serene beauty. Let our inspiration board inspire your purple wedding.
