Deciding on a purple wedding is a royal and romantic choice. Purple used to be a privilege that only kings and queens can afford. This is because it took some costly dyes to put together the perfect shade of purple. Fortunately, these days purple come in different interesting shades and hues in dainty things that make for that luxurious purple wedding. Moreover, purple is also associated with spirituality, dignity, value, and delicateness.

The lighter hues of purple such as lavender and lilac are perfect themes for spring and summer weddings while deep purples and eggplant go well during fall and winter seasons. Now that the right choice for a purple wedding has been confirmed, it is time to get into the creative ideas for a purple wedding.

1. The natural hues of outdoor light can make a royal purple garden wedding nothing short of enchanting although that’s not to say you can’t have it indoors. In a ballroom for example, a royal purple theme throughout, blends perfectly with the lighting.

2. Dresses dashed with lavender and lilac and gowns in a softer purple shade provide a thoroughly enchanting atmosphere and to add a touch of femininity, dress the bridesmaids in gowns with a shade so light, they’re borderline pink. Of course adding some fresh green accents also blends perfectly and lends the occasion a lovely fresh appearance.

3. Be bold on the sashes and runners. Ultra purple to outline the long tables will look dashing and enticing for the guests. Match this with big dark purple ribbons at the back of chairs. Put in some diamond-white, charcoal gray or lustrous platinum trimmings for that crisp and sophisticated look.

4. In order to achieve the ultimate look of elegance, set up the tables in purple and silver. For instance, one can start with a purple palette on the tablecloth complimented with sparkling new silverware, fine china and crisp white napkins. Here again, some dark purple wedding flowers set between glossy rocks adds a unique finishing touch.

5. Mix up with dark and light shades on the flowers. Iris is an attractive flower for deep purple bouquets and they are not that expensive. The osteospermum flower from the daisy family has whites with purple cores or in purple but with white centers. Little white baskets full of purple wedding flowers are also nice to be hung with the lights and foliage.

6. Silk flowers and silk ivy is something which should always be considered. The benefit of using artificial flowers is that they won’t end up dying on you so you can have them set out ahead of time. Furthermore, contrary to what many may believe, silk flowers nowadays are hard to tell apart from real ones. Even purple silk flower petals can be scattered around the pool or around the buffet area for that special touch.

7. Guests at a wedding simply love receiving precious wedding favors so why not pack some purple scented candles, French soaps, or even tasteful candy in some sheer organza bags. Sealed with a silver colored satin or velvet drawstring, they’ll enchant even the most seasoned wedding guest.

There is nothing that can be as beautiful and sophisticated as a purple wedding, especially when you incorporate those bright and creative ideas into them.
