Color love: Black and purple combo ideas for your wedding

By Katie,

September 19, 2014
With summer gradually fading into fall, deeper and darker colors are popping up in wedding ceremonies all over the U.S., and one combination in particular that I love right now is deep purple and black. There’s something regal about these hues, so try them out with these awesome color combo ideas:

Have your guests sip on a blackberry cocktail
Fall is going to be here soon, which means that whiskey cocktails are back in full force at wedding receptions everywhere – lucky for me! Fortunately, blackberries pair perfectly with rye whiskey, so include a concoction with both of these ingredients at your reception.

Hint: If you have the bartenders muddle the berries, it creates a beautiful bright purple hue. Cheers!

Add a royal hue to black and white wedding invitations
The dramatic purple details splashed on the backdrop of black-and-white lettering is a striking look. As soon as your guests open their envelopes in the mail, they will immediate know they are heading to a wedding that doesn’t skimp on luxury.

It’s all about the shoes
While you might be tempted to have your bridesmaids wear purple gowns, I think an even bolder choice would be black gowns with amethyst-tinged footwear. Many shoe styles can be easily dyed to match your color palette, and the additional hue adds a lovely pop of color as your bridesmaids walk down the aisle.

Who doesn’t love cupcakes?
They say the cupcake craze is over, but I beg to differ. I see them everywhere at weddings in many different colors, including lavender and purple. Going with the purple-blackberry theme, your vanilla cupcakes can be garnished with white chocolate frosting to add a pop of white, then topped with fresh delicious blackberries. If you’re drooling over this idea already, you’re not alone.
