The color purple is romantic, regal and a color that is very flattering to almost all skin tones. Here are some purple wedding ideas to help you when planning your purple-themed wedding.

The shade or shades of purple that you decide on for your theme color will depend something on the time of year you are getting married. Use shades such as lilac and lavender for spring, the brighter purple hues for summer, and for both fall and winter weddings use the more royal deep and dark purples.

Combining several shades can be particularly beautiful and to add another complimentary color try ivory, cream, gold or silver accents with the darker shades and for the lighter shades use a soft lime green or lemon yellow.

To set your purple theme wedding mood, wedding invitations are a great way to introduce your theme color.

There are many ways to do this and one would be ivory paper with dark purple print. Another thought would be to do lilac insert cards and envelopes with the same dark purple printing. Be creative and you can find just what suits you and your fiance.

For the ceremony decorations you can decorate the aisle pews or chairs with garlands of tulle or wide ribbon in your shade of purple and attach a large bow at the top of each swag. To really finish it tuck a real or silk flower in a complimentary color in the bow knot.

There is available now lavender and darker purple aisle runners which would certainly enhance the aisle decorations.

To really carry out your theme color you can find purple or lavender ring pillows, unity candles, and guest books.

The floral arrangements at the church would be lovely in purples and white and after the ceremony they can be taken to the reception and placed on each side of the head bridal table. It is also a way to save money on flowers at the celebration.

Money might be a consideration so you might go with lovely candle centerpieces. Buy various sizes, shapes and shades of purple candles and place them on reflective mirrors. Scatter metallic confetti in silver or gold, and purple around the candles.

Floral centerpieces can include a mix of flowers in shades that blend. There are iris, lilies, freesia, sweet peas, phlox, hydrangea, asters and tulips to name a few. Again you might want to put gold or silver hearts or cupids in the centerpieces for a little glitter. Votive candles would also be romantic placed around the arrangements.

Here's an idea that would be most dramatic, have your new monogram (his and hers) projected on to a wall in purple light. You could also highlight the dance floor and cake table with a soft purple light.

Wedding favors do not have to be expensive but can still look that way. One idea is to buy purple tulle and cut it into a size you want and put candy kisses, Jordan almonds or purple jelly beans in the center. You then pull it together and tie with a lace or satin ribbon.

Another idea that would act as place marks for your guests and also a favor. Buy small votive candles at a craft or discount store. Find some attractive place mark cards that you can stick in each candle with the guest's name on it.

This wedding day is yours to feel like a princess and these purple wedding ideas will hopefully give you a start to planning that very special day and making you feel that very special way.
