Purple Wedding Decorations

-- Purple Wedding Decorations --

If you’ve been planning a wedding with a purple color scheme, it’s time to start decorating!

Known as the color of royalty, purple is perfect for a lavish celebration – and can be adjusted to suit virtually any season!

Know Your Hue

If it’s important to you to have the same shade of purple decorating all aspects of your wedding day, choose your colors early!

Have swatches available in your color choice. Not sure how to get swatches? Either order extra material from your bridesmaid’s dresses, or print off some samples of the color you like (it can be difficult to get the perfect color though!).

Or, better yet, visit a paint supply store and pick up some swatches of your wedding color – who knows, maybe you’ll paint your future living room that lovely shade of lavender! Once you’ve got your swatches, bring them along when you visit the decorator of your purple cake, your linen rental shop, and other decorating vendors! Voila – you’ve got a perfectly matched wedding!

Lavender theme

Do you love the relaxing aroma of lavender? Imagine featuring it at your wedding! From lavender colored bridesmaid dresses to bouquets and menu items featuring this scent-ual herb, a few touches of lavender will make your wedding really stand out! Have bouquets of dried lavender near the entry-way so guests are greeted with its fresh fragrance. Give lavender-adorned candles to your guests as a gift, and have lovely lavender scented soap in the bathroom for a special touch.

Purple & Accents

You can bring wedding décor to life by adding majestic touches of purple wherever you can. But sometimes you need another color to pull it all together! Purple can be paired with so many different shades. For a spring wedding, celebrate Easter colors with purple and yellow, or lavender and cream. In the fall, deep shades of eggplant are gorgeous with sage green detailing. Winter weddings are all about rich colors, so choose a jewel toned violet and pair it with a stunning gold or silver. Are you a summer bride? Why not opt for traditional summer colors, and showcase a bright purple with hits of orange.

Flowers & More

Flowers are where it all begins. Tulips, Irises, Crocuses, and Clematis are just a few examples of gorgeous purple blooms. Find ribbon in just-the-right shade to tie it all together! But it’s not all about flowers! Not at all! Balloons can be a lavish way to add festivity to your day, and are available and gorgeous metallic shades of purple. Table linens are often available in a wide variety of shades, and a deep, dark violet can be the perfect backdrop to a delicious meal.

Candy Central

Many brides choose to show off their fun side by having an interactive candy bar. Guests can scoop and chew to their hearts content. One of the best parts of having a candy bar is how visually appealing it is. Show off your color selection – either a variety of purples or a combination of colors by presenting candy in beautiful glass earns. Jelly beans, chewy grapes, and sour kids – yum!

An Early Choice

Selecting the color early on allows you to narrow down the search for the perfect wedding décor – now you only have to look for purple accessories! It also gives you the opportunity to order supplies online, which may take several months to deliver. You can add purple to your invitations and wedding day apparel if you decide early on.

Choosing purple as one of your wedding colors is a great way to add a theme to your wedding day. From dark violets to light pastels, any shade of purple will add elegance and classic charm to your wedding day.
