In your quest to find bridal dresses in colors other than traditional white, you might be attracted by elegant purple wedding dresses. Brides-to-be with artistic inclinations, in particular, may be inclined towards purple bridal gowns.

Moreover, in case you are planning to have a purple themed wedding then getting the perfect purple bridal gown must be one of the topmost concerns on your mind.

Basically, purple is a combination of red and blue, that is, the warmest and coolest colors; red being active and dynamic, whereas blue being calming and passive.

All in all, purple symbolizes mystery, creativity, wisdom, luxury, royalty and independence. It also represents psychic awareness and spirituality. According to Feng Shui, this color attracts wealth and prosperity.

Purple wedding gowns can include a variety of shades ranging from mulberry, mauve, lilac, orchid, lavender to violet, wine, plum, eggplant and dark purple. Bridal dresses in lighter shades of purple are best suited for spring or summer weddings. They evoke a refreshing and aesthetic feel.

Sensational darker shades, on the other hand, are usually preferred for winter weddings. The color, however, may not be suitable in regions like Thailand, where it is worn by widows.

If you are not comfortable with the idea of flaunting completely purple wedding gowns, there is always the option to look for white and purple bridal dresses or white wedding apparel with purple colored beading embellishments and accents. Incorporation of different colors in wedding dresses is an increasingly popular bridal fashion trend.
