What flowers to use for a royal purple wedding color?

I like the idea of having my bridesmaids in royal purple gowns, and having royal purple linen tablecloths. I was thinking of having either a bright green centerpiece (I saw a gorgeous green flower somewhere, forgot what it's called) or tiger lilies, so it pops against the purple. And of course the BM bouquets would be that color too. What do you think?





OR


Should I do white table cloths with tall purple orchid centerpieces?

What flowers to use for a royal purple wedding color?
Purple linens may be hard to come by, and will probably be much more expensive than white- I like the idea of the purple as an accent against the white. Don't necessarily limit yourself to orchids, either- delphiniums come in an incredible deep velvety purple that might be the perfect thing, and there's a purple freesia that's very lovely and rich, too. Then you could have the bridesmaids carrying green bouquets and yours could be heavy on the purple- that sounds quite striking.





Whatever you decide, have a lovely wedding!
Reply:I would definitly go with the purple, its such a pretty color. you can also use bright pink flowers to pop against the purple, i think i know what green your talking about and it would look great! you can also do the purple tablecloths and use light purple orhcids in a tall vase that lights up. Good luck!
Reply:I like the thought of an accent color, makes it more elegant. The white tablecloths with the purple orchid sounds awesome!! congrats!
Reply:If the bridesmaids are having purple gowns, they should have only a few purple flowers as accents, otherwise it wouldn't look nice. Either have a mixed bouquet or something like bright pink stargazer lilies with purple alstromeria or something, maybe with purple trailing ribbons.

Reply:If you are going to do the royal purple tablecloths a sterling silver vase with all white flowers would look beautiful.


You can also buy loose rose petals. I would sprinkle some of those around the table by the base of the vase.
Reply:too much purple combined with another color besides white is a no no. I would go green if you need a 3rd color, or just stick with purple %26amp; white
Reply:what about the scottish thistle both colours there for you green and purple
Reply:I'M NOT SURE IF GREEN ROSES WILL MATCH BUT THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BRING YOU GOOD LUCK!!
Reply:I'd do a combo of tiger lillies and day lillies. The orange/green would really pop against their dresses.
Reply:Orchids are pretty. I like Irises too! And you can get them in a mix of purple and white!
Reply:Oh, the tiger lily's with bright orange in them? That would be soo pretty. A bright orange or peach color. Also, a mixture of rich pinks and purples. It would have to be lime green. Emerald and purple is too done..also Barney-ish.

I would definitely stick with the colored tableclothes though...it definitely adds a nice ton and richness to the room.


I hope this helps! Sounds like it is going to be beautiful!


Good luck :)
