Styling

When it comes to styling your peri purple wedding, there are lots of different options out there. This has lots of layers and is bold and unapologetic, exactly what we need for 2022, and exactly what you should be for your wedding day! If you’re looking to make a statement then choose the more neon tone of this colour and go bright! For a spring-summer wedding, use bright violet purples against lilac tones. For a more autumn winter vibe, use deeper shades and smouldering tones. It’s definitely a colour that can fit into many themes. Here are just a few ideas of how you could include it in your styling for the big day.

Stationery

Your stationery is the first thing your guests will see so make it stand out, using your wedding colours as the focus. This is an opportunity to really mix the tones of this Pantone colour; pick out the dark and light tones and use them to create a seamless wedding invitation. Use bright purple for a vibrant look and feel, or muted tones if you’re going for a more classic luxurious look. We love these designs, and they truly show the scope you can have when it comes to using these colours and moulding them to your theme.

Flowers

Using different tones of purples within your flowers can make the statement you want for your wedding day. Brighten up your summer wedding with hydrangeas and foxgloves which will add a pop of colour when it comes to your bouquet and buttonholes. They can be mixed with dried flowers like lavender too. Add feathers for an autumnal wedding, or how about dried periwinkle for an alternative, ethical, wedding day confetti.

Cake and Confectionery

Using a muted colour of very peri will be super stylish when it comes to a chic wedding day vibe, mix it with bright florals for contrast, or go for a plain wedding cake with coloured frosting inside! There are some lovely details to add when it comes to your wedding day confectionery. Add dried periwinkle petals to macarons, or have a hand-painted wedding cake.
