A New Trend in Wedding Colors: Passionate for Purple

By Robin - Style Expert,

August 15, 2011
A color without limits, purple has become a new trend in today’s wedding colors. It can be dressed up for formal affairs or dressed down for casual ones. Best of all, it’s not limited to any season.

Purple is the result of combining the warmest and coolest of colors, red and blue, and is believed to be the “ideal” color. Purple has been used to symbolize evocative themes, such as magic, mystery and royalty. Favored by most artists, this color encourages fantasy and imagination — no wonder it’s a new romantic favorite for today’s couples!

Try pairing purple with one of these meaningful colors, and you’ll really make a statement:

Yellow — Symbolizes wisdom and evokes feelings of joy and happiness.
Green — The color of nature, fertility, life and harmony.
Red — Symbolizes life and vitality.
Brown — Reflects a wholesome feeling and an appreciation for nature.
Pink — The universal color of love.

We recommend adding accents to your wedding invitations to bring out your wedding colors. Consider tying satin ribbon around your invite card or adding rhinestones to draw attention to the design element.

    Hi there,

    I would pair purple with black – I think it looks really classy, and although it’s not everyone’s choice, I think most would agree it looks fab. I actually had red, black and ivory for my wedding and loved it!

    Thanks,
    Jo
