When it comes to wedding themes and decor, one of the first things that should be nailed down is the color palette. The hues you choose will help to inform the formality of your celebration and it narrows down decisions that come later—especially flowers. Not every flower is available in every color, so if you know you need blooms in a specific palette that’s an essential detail to pass along to your florist.
If purple is what you’ve decided on, you’re in luck: there are endless purple wedding flowers to choose from. Peonies, orchids, lisianthus, scabiosa, roses, the list goes on and on.
