The always talented and creative Matthew Mead just launched his 2007 Holiday website issue and it is simply gorgeous! I was so inspired by his use of purple for the holidays that I made a color palette inspiration board full of images from his site. The combination of all the rich shades of purple, from deep eggplant to dusty lilac, along with rustic reds, greens, grays and metallics makes for a lush, organic and sophisticated look. What a fabulous winter wedding this would be!

oh how i love drk purple and winter. i had a winter wedding this past feb. in nyc. and my inspiration was little violets, chandeliers and candle light
A purple color palette speaks much about a bride’s sophisticated style. It’s one of my favorite colors particularly when you match it up with colors such as brown or silver. Simply gorgeous, indeed! I read an article that may also be of interest from the Wedding Bistro. This is the page: http://www.bellenza.com/wedding-ideas/packaging-ideas/purple-wedding-color-palette.html By the way, your site is quite elegant! Lena
These colors are wonderful. I love the idea of purple for a winter wedding color. The red is a great accent.
This color palette has inspired me to use purple in my upcoming winter wedding. I knew I wanted something completely different from the normal red & gold color scheme seen often in a December wedding. This will be so beautiful and elegant! I just absolutely adore everything about it! Thank you!
