### ![Sarah Gillespie ](https://blog.gillespieflorists.com/hs-fs/file-13663256-jpg/images/sarah-gillespie-blog-badge.jpg) Should I use Purple or Lavender? 

 Considering lavender or purple as the primary or accent color for your wedding?  This video shows many creative ways to incorporate these colors into flowers for your special day. 

### Challenges

 One challenge with shades of lavender/purple flowers is that nature doesn't provide us with the variety of choices as other colors.  Another challenge, particularly with lavender, is that there are different shades of lavenders.  A bluish shade of lavender will clash with a pinkish shade, so it is important to stay within the same color family when selecting the flower varieties for your wedding.  It is important to define the shade(s) of purple you are using throughout the wedding for the same reason.  Plum, Eggplant, Royal Purple, even fuschia are in the purple spectrum but could clash if care isn't taken to keep the color families separated. 

### Lavenders & Purples are Beautiful

 Often, lavender and purple shades are used together as the primary and accent color for weddings.  This creates a beautiful contrast throughout the wedding in the floral arrangements and other decor as well!
