A Spring Soirée Wedding - Purple & Green
Calling all Spring & Summer brides: want a dreamy, timeless combo for your wedding?
Imagine: syrupy sweet purples and pastel greens as the backdrop to a wedding that just /feels/ like spring.
Think sage leaves & lilacs, eucalyptus & lavender fields - these naturally inspired combos offer a serene ambiance with just a touch of whimsy and are the perfect match for warm weather and sunny skies.
This underrated combo is becoming an increasingly popular color theme for obvious reasons - effortlessly romantic, refreshing and elegant. The shade matches are endless and blooming with potential (ha, see what I did there?).
Tips & Tricks:
- Choose your dominant color: sage green with pops of lilac, wisteria & orchid or lavender with touches of laurel, rosemary, mint & olive. Many brides opt for soft greens to lead, so to really stand out consider opting for a muted or pastel purple to steal the show!
- Consider your season. Combos like mint & lavender are perfect for spring garden affairs. Sage, dusty purple and pale blue offer a refreshing, summery feel that can work on the beach or in a country club.
- Let nature inspire (and guide) you. Incorporate real foliage mixes, succulents and seasonal blooms to coordinate your colors (nature-made decor)!
- Balance is key. Pastels with ultra dark or neon colors aren’t going to give the same feel as complementary and contrasting shades.
- Mix in neutrals or simple metallics like ivory, gold, silver, rose gold or blush pink to bring everything together.

Beyond the initial tips, I've gathered even more ways to bring your enchanting purple and green wedding vision to life, ensuring every detail reflects that dreamy spring aesthetic. Let's dive deeper into specific floral choices that truly capture this color theme. When I think of purple, my mind immediately goes to the romantic allure of lavender spikes, delicate roses, and elegant lilies, all beautifully complemented by lush green foliage. Imagine a vibrant wedding bouquet overflowing with these hues, perhaps with touches of deep amethyst or lighter lilac, creating a rich texture. For a truly luxurious feel, consider incorporating purple orchid wedding centerpieces. These exotic blooms add a touch of sophistication and pair wonderfully with emerald or laurel green accents. Don't forget the power of wisteria-like flowers, especially for hanging decorations, creating a romantic cascade of purple over your reception space, perhaps even alongside sparkling crystal chandeliers for an elegant touch. The interplay of green and purple allows for so many moods. For a fresh, airy garden affair, the lavender and mint green combination is simply divine. Picture crisp mint tablecloths with delicate lavender sprigs in small vases, or bridesmaids in soft mint dresses carrying bouquets rich with lavender and white blooms. If you're leaning towards a more rustic yet refined look, a purple and olive green color palette is incredibly chic. Olive branches, rosemary, and sage leaves provide a wonderful, earthy green base, contrasting beautifully with deeper purples like grape or even a vibrant violet. This olive green and lavender wedding theme can evoke a serene, Mediterranean ambiance, perfect for an outdoor or vineyard setting. Venue decor is where these colors truly shine. I've seen breathtaking wedding aisles covered in purple flower petals leading to altars adorned with abundant purple and green floral arrangements. Imagine standing under a wedding arch heavily decorated with these lush colors, creating a stunning backdrop for your vows. For an elegant purple wedding venue, think about how lighting can enhance the shades, making the purples pop and the greens feel even more natural. Incorporating elements like natural wood or simple metallics like rose gold (as suggested in some palettes!) can tie everything together seamlessly, adding warmth without detracting from your core colors. Remember, the key is to allow nature to inspire you, as the original article mentioned. Look at how different greens like axolotl or sage pair with varying purples, from pastel to deep. My personal experience has shown that mixing these complementary and contrasting shades creates a visual feast, ensuring your purple and green wedding colors aren't just a theme, but a truly immersive and unforgettable experience for you and your guests.
