The wonderous color of PURPLE

Sometime back in 2010, I had a bride tell me that her color scheme was purple and orange.When she said it I was not quite sure how to conceptualize it; how to combine those dominant colors together. What did she mean purple?
There was, eggplant purple, lilac, lavendar, purple, Barney purple- heaven forbid!
She did however, give me the spectrum of purple and after a big sigh of relief, and with the help of my florist- Flower of the World,I was able to use lavender with orange.
The back drop of the ocean really made it all that much more spectacular.
  

Using Purple with Other Colors:

•A deep eggplant purple with neutral tans or beige is an earthy, conservative color combination with a touch of the mystery that purple provides.

•Green and purple can be a striking combination in deep or bright jewel tones or use lighter shades for a cheerful, springlike feel.

•Pink and purple has feminine appeal.



There are several reasons for calling Purple a royal colour:- On Answer.com, they explained it the best.

Only the most expensive dyes were used to produce the color purple, it therefore became symbolic with wealth and power.

Purple togas were worn by the all powerful Roman Emperors.

People who were allowed to wear the color purple during the Elizabethan era, as decreed by the English Sumptuary Laws, were the Queen, Queen's mother, children, and sisters, and aunts. The King, King's mother, children, brethren, and uncles.

 



Using Purple:
•Deep or bright purples suggest riches.
•Lighter purples are more romantic and delicate.
•Use redder purples for a warmer color scheme or the bluer purples to cool down.



Now we are in 2011 and we are seeing a whole hosts of brides use the shades of purple in the wedding details. And doing a spectacular job in combining the color with another color. Not just white, cream,silver or gold, but dominant colors like orange, blues,and even green or red.

Royalty and Spirituality, the Nature and Culture of Purple:
Purple is royalty. A mysterious color, purple is associated with both nobility and spirituality.
 The opposites of hot red and cool blue combine to create this intriguing color.



We have been able to combine some striking colors like lime green and purple for a fabulous wedding without making it look like Mardi Gras; unless of course that is what they want. Hope the many shades of the color purple encourages to go boldly with your combinations and inspire you for your fabulous day, your highness. :0)

I am only a great wedding planner because I have great vendors!

Let me first start off with the vision- Parisian fashion chic. The colors were- black and white, with an infusion of fuchsia, pale pinks and gold.


You see, the devil is definitely in the details and for my bride, it is the vision, the dream, that she wanted and I was going to give it to her, because that is what I do- turn dreams into reality!

Further details- the linens had to be black and white striped- not damasked…stripes! And this is not the one you find at any linen store- as I learned. These are the ones you had to order special, because, well, it is a special item. The chairs had to be chivarei and had to be white with black cushions. The flowers had to be a blush pink. The cake had to be a 3 tiered cake, delicious and fashion forward.

You see the details make the difference-too much black would look like death and not a bridal shower, too much white might look like the wedding, and too much pink might look like a baby shower- well you get the idea.

Well the dream almost turned into a nightmare by UPS (United Parcel Service) - not to be confused with USPS (United States Post Office) but rather their competition. No competition here if you ask me.

Apparently the shipper placed the wrong zip code and the black and white striped specialty linens, although in Miami, had to be corrected to the correct zip code to match the address. No problem, right? WRONG- even though the UPS hub corrected the zip code at 7am in the morning of Friday, they now had to deliver it to the correct UPS hub in Hialeah? Wait, we are in Miami, not Hialeah. Okay, no problem-

ME: “At what time will they be delivered? UPS: “No, they won’t be delivered.”

ME: “WHAT!! “Can I pick them up? I am in Hialeah.” UPS: “No- they are closed”

ME: “Wait- it is Saturday, 2:00pm. How can you be closed on a Saturday? USPS is open on a Saturday???!!” UPS: “Sorry, nothing we can do.

ME: “Wait can’t we call the supervisor to open up? Who is going to open up now or tomorrow, Sunday? Who is going to have those specialty linens, which I ordered two weeks ago and now is here but locked in a trailer truck, why didn’t anyone call me on Friday, call the other 3 numbers given???”

As you see there is was about 3 hours of conversation of back and forth with supervisors and managers, all the while my staffs is calling our 100 + vendors for anyone who has these linens or know of anyone who does. No luck- no one is calling back…except for (insert Superman/woman theme here) Atlas Party Rental of Boynton Beach.

8:16AM in Sunday Morning- a text comes in saying “to the warehouse between 9am-11am, we may have them.”

Needless to say, I drove up there- and an hour and half later I met Carlos- who was not sure if that special linen was even there but allowed me to search the 12,000sq ft., warehouse of linens and there on the last rack, to the back, on the second row, was the “golden fleece” the specialty black and white 90” linen. PEOPLE- the party was exactly what my bride wanted!!! Once again I am an awesome Wedding Planner, but that is because I have an awesome vendor.

The Coast Guard and The Beauty

Here is a fabulous couple...so in love. So fabulousy in love; full of fun, style, and class.
Rachel and I met through a former bride of mine- Dr. Diaz-Roberts and I could tell that she had alot of things she wanted to get accomplished.

She seemed to know exactly what she wanted and what she needed me to do.

As an avid runner and exerciser- typical of her Sagitarian sun sign she had a full plate- especially with work, the wedding, excercising, a fiance and school, she had begun wondering how she was going to get it all done.

I knew things had to get done and I would have to be there each step of the way to make sure all of her details were attended to. But first, I had to catch her. Shoot! I should have stayed in the excercise program.

We checked her list and with my to do list, we matched up any missing parts. Next on the list the engagement pictures. It looks like I can check this off the list.

I highly recommend, to have your engagement pictures with the photographer you intend to higher to take your wedding pictures.
It is the precursor to what you can except during your wedding. It literally breaks any apprehension you may have.Your photographer and you will have a better understanding of how you like to look and your style. And most importantly if they can capture it.

Rachel and Eric went with a great photography studio "BeYouImages.com" and Jess took some truly amazing pictures. She credits Rachel for the concept and background choices and as you can see, they worked very well together.
Yup I think their styles match.

The Love Story:

Elizabeth, as a young girl, knew what her dream husband would look like. And she made a wish that it would happen to her. As she grew older, her wish became a childhood memory and she began to focus on her dancing and schooling.

With High School- a wish started to become a reality and she was allowed to date. Her first and only date was with Jonathan and little did she know that it would be the last date she would ever had- because he was and became her one and only for 10years!

THE WEDDING

Elizabeth is an extremely detailed bride.She had a vision of how her dream wedding was going to be. White, with small touches of color. She wanted her wedding to personify her and Jonathan's taste and love of syle.

Her theme was a classic style, clean edge Neo-Baroque.

MY JOB

I was tasked to take on this style and find quality vendors with a eye for exquiste details and make sure that all of Elizabeth's vision are put together. I made sure that all details were met and were on time. From the chairs to the photographer; each vendor had to understand and see how the key was in the details!

This was a fabulous wedding  and I am so happy that Infinity Weddings & Events, was able to finish the 2010 season with another Platinum wedding!
We wish Elizabeth and Jonathan a long and happy marriage, filled with love, laughter, joy, health and wealth, from here until INFINITY!
