Shades of purple.......2

Flashback to 2 years ago in 2013. A childhood friend gets in touch. She wants me to work on her wedding. She has never been shy about colors. I loved how unique she wanted to make everything for her wedding including her dress. While the dress idea had to be reverted to traditional one due to unforeseen and avoidable circumstances, her concepts didn't change. She wanted to play with color.

She loved gold, purple and green and we were to incorporate the shades of this colors into her wedding. I was scared at first but thrilled to work on a vision that would slowly make sense to me along the way. From the bridesmaids to the best maid to the flower girls, she chose different shades of colors that she was comfortable with.

Its surprised a few people who expected 2 or less colors and not a splash of colors. One thing that I really loved about her is she wanted to be different. The original concept might have changed but the idea remained the same. I was grateful to have found green roses and shades of purple for her flowers. Even with the drapes and fabrics, the concept was maintained and she was a happy bride at the end of the day.
