Board #433: A Purple Picnic

Gosh it's late - the day is almost over! But I promised you an inspiration board, so here it is. I'm not sure it turned out quite the way I was hoping, but I do think it gives you a good idea of the color scheme and the relaxed backyard feel, which is really what an inspiration board is all about - the ideas. I had Jordan Ferney's darling purplic picnic box lunch in mind when I pulled these images together, and though there is something Spring-like to this look, I think it could work for a late summer or early fall picnic wedding reception too.

Mood: relaxed, sweet
Palette: grape sorbet, deep red cherry

Row 3: pinwheels from Hatch Creative Studio, lilac bouquet by Claire Bean for Brides, purple picnic box by Jordan Ferney for Project Wedding

Despite being extremely happy with the colors I am using for my wedding, this has made me long for someone I know to do a purple wedding. HOW gorgeous!!!! It is just such a regal and sophisticated look - I love it. Also - love the blog, as always.

Oh how I love purple! It was my original plan for wedding colors, but blue and pink won out instead.

I'm using this color with a small splash of a light orange/salmon-y color and ivory. So happy to see this here!

Purple is everywhere I saw the NEW Get Married Magazine and there was an entire page that featured purples.

Hi I am doing a purple wedding so I love this!!! But I am really in love with the bridesmaid dress on the second row and I went to the link you have Ban-do and they only do head pieces and belts...any idea where I can find the dress?
