Crystal Red
A Passionate Purple and Red Wedding
Not all brides are the white and pale pink type. When you are looking for ways to inject some passion into your wedding, think about using colors with more intensity. One of the best color combinations is passionate purple and red for a wedding with sizzle.
Flowers are a great place to begin planning your wedding design. Purple and red flowers in combination will be bold and rich, conveying passion and fire. For a formal wedding, roses in deep purple and rich red make lovely bouquets for the bride and her attendants. Hand-opened blossoms will be more lush than roses fresh from the florist’s refrigerator. Add a bit of glamor with crystal accents in the bouquets. A nice tough is to select crystals for your bouquet and a set of custom bridal jewelry which will coordinate. Pick a unique crystal shape around which to design your custom bridal jewelry, such as a teardrop, or opt for a colored crystal in red or purple. The effect will be ravishing.
Purple and red together make a strong statement. They can work well for bridesmaid dresses as long as you take care that the outfit does not overwhelm your attendants. Choose one color as the focal point, and let the accessories pull in the accent color. A deep purple dress, for instance, could be accented with a red sash and a red flower in the hair. Or pick a red dress for your attendants with purple embroidery along the hemline and a pair of very strappy deep purple sandals to coordinate. Your bridesmaids will look festive and flirty; no demure looking attendants with this color palette!
When using colors as intense as purple and red, it can be helpful to layer them with another more neutral shade to keep the effect from being too vivid. Stunning red and purple centerpieces, for example, could be set on tablecloths in a more subdued color. If you want to keep your entire wedding color palette deep and mysterious, chocolate brown linens would be an excellent complement. Or add a lighter color for contrast, such as pale gold or even a rich taupe. It all depends on the time of day, formality of your wedding, and just how dramatic you are prepared to go.
Even the wedding food and drinks can get in on the color scheme. Signature drinks in purple and red would look fabulous lined up on the bar for guests to take. Or have a waiter circulate with your special cocktails on a tray. Alternate drinks in the red and purple for a most impressive look. Naturally, your wedding cake will reflect your design scheme. If you want to have touches of red and purple, a white buttercream frosting can be decorated with lush frosting roses in red and purple. An alternative is to have your cake frosted in one of your signature colors. Try a purple fondant cake decorated with a red brocade pattern for drama and elegance. Top it all off with a crystal monogram.
The wedding favors are another natural place to enjoy using your wedding colors. The passion of purple and red can carry over into your favor selection. Ripe red strawberries dipped in chocolate can be nestled into gold boxes and tied with a purple ribbon. Or choose favors such as luxurious candles in a seductive scent in purple and red glass containers. Coordinating your favors to your wedding colors is a wonderful way to tie your whole theme together.
When you want your wedding to express the love and passion that you and your fiance feel for one another, a dramatic red and purple wedding palette is just what you need. From flowers to attire to the food and favors, red and purple will make every part of your wedding look more special. Dramatic and seductive, this color pairing will make an unforgettable wedding design.
