Similarities between Purple and Blue

Take a look at the photographs below for purple color and the blue colored flowers and see for yourself the distinction. As far as weddings are concerned this difference can be huge if you are actually looking for something which is pure blue and you want no dilution of the theme.

But in most of the marriages the color blue is very much blended with similar hued blue variations and these can be aqua blue or the royal blue or even the tiffany blue color.

Purple – Meaning of the color is any color with range between red and blue shades and it is made by mixing of the basic primary colors red and blue in varying proportions. In general the color purple is associated with nobility and spirituality but at the weddings this means understated elegance and regal beauty.

Purple has various synonymous colors that can be sued in wide variety of variations like the Violet, mauve, magenta or even the lavender and eggplant.

Out of season flowers increase the costs as well as need more planning.
