10 Ways to Use Ultra Violet in Your Wedding

2018 is all about the PANTONE 18-3838 Ultra Violet! Pantone describe their 2018 colour of the year as “dramatically provocative and thoughtful”. It communicates originality, ingenuity and visionary thinking. It is a colour that communicates the future and therefore a perfect symbol of expression for your wedding.

Ultra Violet is a symbol of counterculture and unconventionality and has been the colour of music royalty: Prince, David Bowie and Jimi Hendrix.

So if your have a flare for the dramatics and want to make a bold impression, this is the colour choice for you!

Here are some ways to inject a bit of rich purple goodness into your day:

1. Bridesmaid Dresses

Purple is known to be calming and have a de-stressing effect. What better way for a bride to ditch their wedding day nerves than to surround themselves with bridesmaids adorned in the uplifting shade.

If full-length violet is a little too bold then why not accessorise simple mute toned dresses with a vibrant purple shawl or embellishes cape, they are all the rage for 2018 especially in these chilly months!

2. Bridal Flats

Your wedding is a long day and having a good pair of flats on stand-by is a must to rest those feet. Why not add a pop of colour and make them ultra violet?

3. Understated Tie

Add a pop of purple to compliment the wedding aesthetic with a rich violet tie.

4. Subtle Centrepieces

Neutrals and soft greenery compliment a beautiful pop of purple floral in your centrepieces.

5. Watercolour Escort Cards

Watercolour accents soften the rich colour into a more muted and delicate aesthetic.

6. Ultra Cascade Cake

Cascading cakes are effortlessly beautiful; why not add a pop of purple?

7. Agate Accents

Colours in nature always add an extra layer of vibrancy. Agates can act as great name cards, drinking coasters and just general accents for a centrepiece.

8. Hydrangeas

Fluffy hydrangeas add a touch of vintage romance to any wedding bouquet or centrepiece.

9. Moody Invites

A deeper violet adds drama and a rich moodiness to invites.

10. Violet Cocktails

According to Pantone, the beautiful shade of ultraviolet symbolises experimentation. Do some experimentation of your own and get creative with spirits, infusions, and garnishes. For winter weddings, a champagne cocktail infused and garnished with the sweetness of the seasonal plum can be a subtle twist.
