When to Choose a Purple Dress for Wedding Attire
Purple is such a regal color for weddings, and a great color to wear for mothers of the bride and mothers of the groom. You can find purple gowns and cute cocktail-length dresses spanning every shade from pastel purples like lilac and lavender, mid-tone and vibrant berry shades, all the way to deep tones like eggplant and blackberry.
Deep purple tones like aubergine and plum are perfect for cold seasons like fall and winter. In the spring and summer months, lilac, lavender, and vibrant purples like orchid can be a wonderful way to wear purple in warm weather.
Purple dresses often add interest and blend well with other colors in the wedding party. For instance, if the bridesmaids are wearing a shade of pink, sage green, or gray, a lavender dress can be a wonderful choice for the mothers. If the bridesmaids are wearing burgundy or navy for a fall wedding, again a shade of a deep purple can be the perfect choice to create a complementary and cohesive look in the wedding party and in pictures.
