Purple was the top color in our lastest color poll and we used it as a feature hue for this fall wedding color palette. Rich, dark purple is the dominant color, with rust orange as a secondary and metallic gold for accent. Using this formula, we created these wedding invitations from http://www.formal-invitations.com (82¢ each with envelope) using the heavyweight Eggplant purple and white overlay wrapped with the rust Paisley sash printed with a metallic gold paisley design. The overlay was printed with vintage monogram clip art ($16 also from Formal-Invitations.com, for a book of 812 letters and initials plus cd of scanned images) that could be used throughout the event. Bridesmaids would also look great in purple, carrying a bouquet of orange lilies or roses, accented with gold embellishments.
paisley wedding invitations
We saw this pretty collection in Modern Bride and used the idea to create paisley wedding invitations. A rich plum purple background card was layered with a crisp white printed overlay, then wrapped with a rust orange sash printed with a metallic gold paisley pattern. A gorgeous combination for only 70¢ each with envelope from Formal-Invitations.com.
