No one loves purple like we do here at Sweet Violet Bride, and so when Pantone announced the 2014 color of the year was Radiant Orchid, I was ecstatic! Its been many years since they chose a shade of purple as the color of the year. This vibrant, plummy purple is passionate, romantic, and a bit mysterious. We get to celebrate this glorious color all year and to start it off, an inspirational color palette to tempt you to incorporate these pretty purples into your wedding. It’s going to be a great year!

“Radiant Orchid blooms with confidence and magical warmth that intrigues the eye and sparks the imagination. It is an expressive, creative and embracing purple—one that draws you in with its beguiling charm. A captivating harmony of fuchsia, purple and pink undertones, Radiant Orchid emanates great joy, love and health.” – Pantone
