Wedding Colors
A Turquoise and Lime Green Wedding
Summer weddings call for bright and festive colors and accents. Turquoise and lime green are bright and bold colors, but they are also surprisingly versatile as a wedding color scheme. Depending on the exact shades that you choose, these colors can be beachy, preppy, 1960s mod, or thoroughly contemporary. Not too many other color palettes can make that claim! You can create some really interesting visual effects, especially with pattern.
For instance, let's say that you are having a wedding by the ocean, how would you go about using a turquoise and lime color palette? With the bridesmaid dresses, for starters. Picture crisp turquoise organza dresses edged with a lime green organza border at the hem. If you love the idea of a 1960s look for your wedding, pick a great mod print to use in your décor. Big graphic flowers or pop art circles would be fantastic. You can also use shades of lime green and turquoise to create a very chic environment for your wedding. One of the top trends for bridesmaids right now is flowing chiffon dresses.
This style would be even more stunning when created from an ombre chiffon that is dyed to flow from one color into the other. Turquoise and lime green can be used to design magnificent centerpieces. Fill tall cylinders will real limes, fill with water, and then top with a floral arrangement. There is a wider array of green flowers available than you may think, ranging from romantic green hydrangeas to exotic green orchids. These combine beautifully with white flowers, and the green and white centerpieces will really pop against turquoise linens in either a pattern or a solid.
Your bridal accessories, such as shoes, jewelry, and wraps are great ways to add a touch of color to a white wedding gown. A strand of white pearls with a scattering of turquoise and lime crystals would be fresh and pretty for a summer wedding. Great wedding designs begin with great color choices. Turquoise and lime green are definitely colors that say fun and festive, which makes them terrific for a summer wedding.
Purple Wedding Fit For a King and Queen
Deciding on a purple wedding is a royal and romantic choice. Fortunately, these days purple come in different interesting shades and hues in dainty things that make for that luxurious purple wedding. Moreover, purple is also associated with spirituality, dignity, value, and delicateness.
The lighter hues of purple such as lavender and lilac are perfect themes for spring and summer weddings while deep purples and eggplant go well during fall and winter seasons. Now that the right choice for a purple wedding has been confirmed, it is time to get into the creative ideas for a purple wedding.

- In the outdoors, using the natural sundown lights can make a royal purple garden wedding extra ordinarily enchanting.
- Dash with a little bit of lavender and lilac on the dresses. Softer hues for the gowns give it a dramatic effect. Bridesmaids' gowns that come close to pink give a feeling of femininity and lightheartedness.
- Ultra purple to outline the long tables will look dashing and enticing for the guests. Match this with big dark purple ribbons at the back of chairs.
- Set up an elegantly purple and silver table setting. Use a gentle and fresh purple palette on the tablecloth. At the center, place bright purple orchids in a bunch of glossy colored rocks.
- The osteospermum flower from the daisy family has whites with purple cores or in purple but with white centers. Little white baskets full of purple flowers are also nice to be hung with the lights and foliage.
- Seriously consider purple silk flowers and silk ivy. Purple silk rose petals can be sprinkled in areas like the buffet, swimming pool, church aisles or guest book tables.
- Give away precious favors in delicately light purple sheer organza bags.

In many religious traditions, miracles are understood to be those things that restore a person, previously denied community for some reason, to their community. One of the most important things that weddings do is build community among the people wedding guests.
- You want your guests to get to know one another. They have heard about each other since the two of you met. This is their chance to put face to story
- You want them to make connections. This will be one of the few times that you get everyone together. You want to make people curious about one another. Ideally, you want to create a group that pushes you to gather everyone together.
- You want them to enjoy the family. Since we no longer live next door and we can't always make the family reunions, weddings are a great opportunity for everyone in the family to see one another and to catch up on what's happened since the last occasion.
- You want them to enjoy one another. You want to have fun things to do at the party that keep people playing together and looking for ways to engage their neighbors. Play games, pit one table or family against another, get people involved and talking.
It will also enrich the community. In turn, that creates a richer life for you!
- What will you spend? If you're paying attention, you'll be lowering costs because you're not spending on the extras, you're spending on the essentials.
- What will you invest You're going to want to spend time with all your guests. You may find a reception line is a great idea.
- What skills do you need? Friendliness, openness about your dreams for the future, excitement about your community's presence, excitement about who your community is, and some knowledge of how to help people mingle.
- What will you get? A group of people that enjoy themselves and one another. A group who wishes to support your marriage and get together for another outing.
- What's that worth? More support and celebration than you can handle.
- What happens then? Your community becomes aware of itself as a community.
Do what's right for you, in every way, use your great wedding ceremony, wedding vows and wedding reception to start to build community, and have a wonderful marriage!
