Continuing with our floral theme this week, we move on to shades of Purple. Purple is more diverse than what people might initially think. It does blend with a cool palette very easily, but you can pair it with all warm tones, such as pinks and reds, and it even goes well with green. Here are some unique floral ideas for inspiration, along with a few palette ideas to help you match purple with your own palette.
Today’s Theme: Purple
Feature Flowers: Lavender, Orchids, Lilies, Lisianthus.
Many flowers come in purple, from roses to carnations, almost any flower is now available in almost any color you want. But that shouldn’t mean you shouldn’t stick to the basics! If you’re on a budget, go with flowers that are in season for your wedding date, that are naturally purple.
These bouquets feature some amazing elements mixed in among the flowers, such as dark berries, and even peacock feathers! Nothing brings out the color, and compliments floral, like non floral details. Bouquets should be diverse, and more than just flowers, add in other natural elements such as twigs, fern leaves, moss etc. I also am in love with the idea of a lavender bouquet (as in the herb!) it is such a natural feel to it, perfect for a wedding in the country side! A very unique take on “bouquet”.
This bouquet is probably one of my favorites. It’s so bold and the colors are stunningly complimentary! I love the idea of adding the peacock feather, which incorporates all of the elements used in the bouquet. Dark leaves and pale green flowers work wonderfully next to maroon and purple flowers, tied together with a powder blue satin ribbon.

This week we will focus primarily on floral! From receptions to bridal bouquets to boutonnieres, it is Floral Week here on Modern Wedding .org. Each day there will be a post featuring one specific color, to better help brides in search of flowers to match their palette, or get some inspiration from hues. We also like to think outside the box, here at ModWed, so we will steer clear of peonies and roses! It’s time for a new take on Wedding floral.
