A Purple & Yellow theme.

Yellow is my favourite colour (& always has been)

Originally I thought it was a bit wild to have yellow theme, so decided on purple but then while browsing on dessy.com I came across some purple & yellow bridesmaid dresses that i fell in love with, I showed 2 of my bridesmaids them & they liked them (well they said they did) but then showed 1 of my sisters (who is another bridesmaid) & she hated them, infact i think she thought i was joking!

Has anyone been to a purple/yellow wedding?

    I love purple and yellow together. I LOVE vibrant/bold colours in a wedding.

    Go for it. Its your wedding and i'm sure the colours will look lovely. You will get some people saying "ooh no" but others will say "ooh yes" My daughter had the same problem she loves hot pink and lime green, shes having four BM, 2 in each colour. Shes had a mixed response but decieded to just do it. (We just hope it'll look ok.) Good luck x

    Thank you

    I guess I can still have a purple & yellow theme without making them wear dresses they dont like, purple dresses with bouquets of bright yellow flowers would suffice ?

    I see purple is very popular so having yellow would be a little twist on the norm

    No. But a visit to any church over Easter time will show you how lovely the colours are together!

    I like it! Go for it, it's always nice to be different.

    Do you have a flash of the BM dress you have found?

    Go for it. We're having purple and orange. Purple looks great with brighter colours.

    Purple and yellow are a great combo. We love it here at hitched ?

    Check out this purple and yellow moodboard, designed recently by a member on hitched.

    You could always create your own moodboard, found in the drop down menu if you click on the word 'members'.

    In fact, everyone should make a moodboard, so that you can all share your creativity and wedding ideas.
