Wedding Colors: Green & Purple

Today, color lover Lou gives us a look at her magnificent Green and Purple wedding.

I am not really sure what inspired me to choose purple & green for my wedding? Being the arty type I am always drawn to complimentary colours and I guess I knew that I wanted my wedding to stand out from the crowd! The wedding took place in a 14th century barn in Norfolk, the perfect setting for an informal affair.

We made leaf candle holders for the tables, used jam jars and suspended them from the ceiling. I also used lots of hessian, ivy and purple and green raffia. My Dad & husband made the cakes, which I iced, the florist than added the flowers. The cupcakes were made by my friend, the chocolate looked superb with the purple flowers and lime green foliage.

Nothing was left out, we even placed terracotta pots of purple and green flowers outside the barn. We pampered them all Summer!!

The local florist made a superb job of the flowers & button holes. I was overwhelmed…she really brought my vision to life.
