There are so many people out there who will tell you
what you can't do.
What you have to do is turn around and say, "watch me"!!
Hi Guys, this post is fab, i am looking at Cadbury Purple too and came across you thread. some great ideas, i have seen some purple hair gems and wondered if they would look nice on me with a white dress just to give me alittle purple?
CommentAuthorcharlottelee
there is so much you can do to add a bit of purple. originally i was having a purple bouquet but now not sure. I will be having purple nails though and my jewelery has purple pearls on it. Not decided on hair yet but the purple hgems could be nice.
Dodge i am so jealous of your purple bug. Although i am having a bright pink taxi but only cos i saw it and fell in love with it. I do have a purple beetle in the bridal party though so may have a few pics if she will let me

I got my bridal bouquet yesterday and I am not happy :( does not look like I thought it would at all :( It's all purple big roses, and then tiny tiny white roses in between, but there just isn't enough of them so it just looks stupid. I've taken the little white ones out so now it's pure purpe, gonna go out and buy somme white ribbon and try to work some magic on it and see if it can be saved. So disappointed though :/ x

CommentAuthorKimmie.Bride.to.be
Awww Annette, where did you get it from? Ive just had my flowers finished and sent to me and they are perfect. Have a look in my album! Can you send yours back? If you can do that, and use the lady that did mine. Shes magnificent!xx
CommentAuthorAnnette
I got them from a woman off bay of e. She does beautiful flowers, they just didn't turn out like I thought. And since they are custom made I can't send em back :( It's not a total disaster, I mean they ARE nice, just not what I wanted. I'll try and tweak em myself, I've got some white roses lying around, might add some of them xx

I have just had an idea to use some peacock feathers as an extra dimensin to my purple theme. I am thinking of having 2 or 3 peacock feathers in a tall vase on each table just so that we can give the purple a bit of a lift. What do you think?
CommentAuthorcharlottelee
I think it will look really good was also thinking along this line myself

hello everyone, im having cadburys purple with silve and have designed all the reception tables, ive ordered all the crystals, table runners and cloths and the petals but im not sure what flowers to get for the centre pieces.

Nini, I am having peacock feathers as well. Take a look at my albums for some ideas! Xxx

CommentAuthorx~Hails~x
Leeso what about finding some plain white or ivory ones and having them dyed the colour you want then adding some shoe clips to them to jazz them up???
Vicki if you have silk then your options are endless, you could have your fav flowers or if you have a loved one no longer with you maybe have there favourite flower that way you get to honour them on your day and you get to keep them after OR do as i'm doing and give the centre pieces away during speaches as thank you gifts saving you some money??
charlottelee can I ask for a link on my wall for the person who did your jewellery please they are BEAUTIFUL!

Ooh lots of Cadbury's purple! When I was at a wedding fair the other week, I was giving my details to a florist and on her sign up form, under examples of colours, Cadbury's purple was at the top of the list!
We've having purple and ivory for our colours. All the guys are going to have purple ties and my bridesmaids are wearing purple dresses (but diff shades of purple as they are getting their own dresses and have given them free range on style etc etc - however, I might get some colour swatches so they can get within a couple of shades of each other if they wish). I'm hoping to get some purple shoes - wearing a knee length dress so want some colourful shoes! And tempted to take the colour further and turn it into a theme with the table names (Cadbury's chocolates lol) and then have the centre pieces/favours as cadbury's chocolates. My bms and friends think it's a great idea - h2b looked at me like I was mental lol. xx
CommentAuthorMrs*Maria*Louise

Didnt realise how popular purple was....
Im going purple and ivory i think and will be doing alot of the decorations myslef. Love the goldfish bowl ideas, and i found a lovely local shop that does all sorts of knick naks alomost vintage... she did a stall at a wedding fair and had all sorts of lovely bits so am going to look at her store.
Out of intrest... if everybodies having purple this purple that... what about your cakes?? are you sticking to tradional or funky?? xx
xx Gembo xx
CommentAuthorKimmie.Bride.to.be
Gembo, for our cake we are having cupcakes. Think we are going to have bottom tear with real purple icing, then the next one up a little lighter, and so on, and have the cake on the top (that we will cut) in a nice ivory icing. Then have ivory decorations (little butterflies/flowers) on all cupcakes. Then purple petals on the table xxxx
CommentAuthorGembo
That sounds like a lovely idea kimmie i really want a fruit cake lol so cake will probably be one of the only things not purple :) xxx

We're having cupcakes that my MOH's mum has very kindly offered to make as a wedding present and she suggested using purple cupcake cases! I hadn't even thought about it lol! Am also considered purple sprinkles or something similar on top of the cupcakes too. x
