purple is the new white

I could have forecast this new purple trend in weddings! In the past year, I have had more brides requesting purple as their accent color of choice. According to writer and blogger Annalise Kaylor, "Purple, and all of the shades within that color spectrum, will be the hottest 2010 wedding color. Bridal stores are pushing a monochromatic wedding color scheme with purple. For example, dressing bridesmaids in several coordinating purple colors for a dramatic, but elegant look."
