Just a few thoughts from a simple girl as I try to plan a wedding amidst the craziness of my life...

About Me

My photo
I am 25 year old getting ready for our nuptials on May 01, 2010. I am currently a graduate student majoring in Occupational Therapy. I love to write and I love weddings (well I used to). I thought it would be a great way to blend a few of my loves into a blog. Sit back and enjoy while I attempt to juggle planning a wedding on a budget while doing schoolwork. So let the madness begin!!

Real Life Purple Weddings

I can't help it. I just LOVE anything purple, so you can just imagine how excited I get when I see purple featured in real weddings. I bookmark them so I can gaze at them anytime I want, I kid you not.
Here are two really cool purple weddings I found recently. I just loved the way both brides incorporated the beautiful royal vivid purple hue in their wedding.

This wedding is from Theknot.com with photography courtesy of Scarlett Lillian Photography.
I love her bird cage veil with the purple flower on the side. Its such a great way to incorporate color and its modern and vintage at the same time. I've seen a few of these similar veils on Etsy.com. Can I say how much I love her peep toe purple pumps! I was thinking about wearing purple shoes as well but the shoes that I really want only come in silver, copper, and gold.
Of course I love the vibrant hue of her bridesmaid dresses and their bouquet.

The next wedding was found on Essence.com with photos courtesy of Joseph Pessar.
I love how their traditional attire is purple. I am also going to wear traditional attire for my wedding but I haven't seen the fabric yet. I can't wait to see what we will be wearing. I love the purple satin wrapped around the bouquets, it looks very vivid against the white flowers. And i just love the purple calla lillies in the last picture. I never cared for calla lillies until I started planning my wedding, now I am obsessed with them.
