for being the color of royalty, purple is both captivating and
luxurious. There is something mysterious about the color, but it is
definitely enchanting. Purple comes in many different shades, there is a
shade for almost any occasion. A purple wedding theme in the spring or
summer months should make use lighter shades of purple such as lavender
or lilac. During the fall or winter months, deep rich shades of purple
should be used instead.

purple is to wear an entire wedding gown in that color instead of a
traditional white wedding gown. This look would work wonderfully if your
purple wedding theme had a medieval twist. In order to look like a
medieval princess on your big day, try to find a velvet purple dress to
walk down that aisle in.
