There are so many different ways of incorporating colour schemes into your wedding. Your cake is such an important part of your wedding, and needs to fit into your theme to keep the colour flowing. Both of these cakes show how differently the colour purple can be interpreted. The cupcakes are so elegant and simple, whereas the wedding cake features a lot more detail; ombre icing and delicate purple and yellow flowers.
If you can't find a purple flower you're fond of, don't panic. You can still slip your colour scheme into your flower arrangements. Mason jars are such versatile vessels that you can do so much with; use a purple chalk paint to cover the jars and sandpaper the surface to bring out the details. Simple, ditsy baby's breath is a perfect flower for your mason jars.
If your chosen purple is more of a darker, bluer purple, lavender is a great flower to use. With such a simple stem with no leaves, tall vases and bottles are a really good way of showing them off. Use mismatched glass bottles to add a vintage feel to your wedding.
To subtly bring purple into your bouquet, choose a single flower in a much softer, washed out hue. Against this more vibrant dress, with pinks and dark berries, this bouquet looks beautiful!
If you don't fancy big bright pinks and peaches to bring out the purple, balance out your purple flowers with soft white petals and grey leaves. These bird cages look so charming with subtle colours for a much more elegant and classic feel.
Purple or pink? Rather than a blue-purple, a lot of couples have opted for a more dusky pink-purple, at the other end of the spectrum. This is a much less bold, softer way of using the purple colour scheme. We really love the mismatched glass wear on this table, mix pinks with purple to break up the colour on your table.
The blue-purple would be much too bold for your wedding make up, however the softer, dusky pink-purple is a fantastically subtle colour for your eyes. Gradient the colour from the inner corner to the outer, to give a dramatic, beautiful look.
The less obvious ways of using your colour scheme are often very effective. Your reception drinks are a good way of starting any type of theme off for your wedding. Colour can be incorporated in various ways; in the colour of the drink itself, the glasses, fruit or ice in the glasses, or the straws which you put in the glasses. For a more interesting and unique, summer reception drink try making a blackberry cocktail, with real blackberries to float in the glasses and dark purple straws.
