Our team at Elegant Event Lighting created a “wow” effect for our Bride’s purple themed wedding with a gorgeous fabric backdrop lit with violet hues.

Pantone just announced Radiant Orchid as the new hot color for 2014, and we at Something 2 Dance 2 and Elegant Event Lighting couldn’t be happier since purple is our company colors!  Our brides are super excited to utilize this gorgeous color for their weddings next year.

Elegant Petal Purple Orchid

Beautiful Purple Orchids designed by The Elegant Petal.

The possibilities are endless with this beautiful violet hue!  Flowers from gorgeous purple roses to delicate orchids would be an amazing accent color. An amethyst brooch or belt would look gorgeous against a white or ivory wedding gown.  Your bridesmaid dresses would be stunning in violet.  Purple uplighting or a tent ceiling wash would be striking in your event space.

How about a Candy Bar for your guests featuring a variety of purple candy?  Think purple lollipops, glistening sugary rock candy, violet licorice, various shades of purple M&M’s, purple dark chocolate Hershey Kisses, grape Laffy Taffy, and even grape Gummy Bears!  It will look as good as it tastes!
