Purple has always been the color of royalty. What better way to create a regal atmosphere for your wedding than by using purple accents? It is a rich and powerful color that can add a lot to the look of your ceremony and reception.
There are many beautiful shades of purple, ranging from the lilac and lavender of springtime, to the bright magenta of summer, to the rich and royal deep purple that brides love all year round. It is this very intense true purple that will feel the most opulent and royal for a wedding color scheme. You don’t have to stick with one shade of purple, though; it can be gorgeous to layer in some lighter tones with the dark for a very lush design scheme.

As far as wedding expenses go, your catering or food bill is typically your largest expense. Therefore, choose your wedding caterer carefully. Make sure to attend a “tasting” and check references! Following are some tips for keeping your catering bill palatable:
- Hire a caterer that supplies you with everything you’ll need for your big day, such as glassware, plates, tablecloths, etc. (and notify the venue of this so they will not charge you for the same items).
Pick food items that are in-season. - Buffets cost less and provide your guests with an opportunity to select what they want.
Ask about the availability of children’s plates.
