Attire:  Eggplant is a rich jewel tone that flatters every skin tone.  Bridesmaids in dresses of this dark purple can easily wear their dresses to other events, and even the Groomsmen look good with eggplant-colored ties.  Purple is also a good color for trimmings and accessories.

Flowers:  Whether the arrangements are entirely purple, or it is an accent color, numerous flowers come in purple.  Our Brides’ favorites include irises, roses and tulips.  Good purple accent flowers include asters, purple sweet pea and phlox.

Table settings:  Many of our Brides and Grooms enjoy our elegant purple glass stemware.  For purple Weddings, we also tie a purple ribbon around every folded napkin.  We use cloth napkins for dinner, but some Brides and Grooms order purple paper napkins, often monogrammed with their initials, for the hors d’oeuvres, drinks and desserts.

The fashion of the 1940’s was both practical and elegant, and is certainly still welcome in Wedding Parties today.  Wedding Gowns of the time frequently featured basque waists, sweetheart necklines and large shoulders achieved with either shoulder pads or puffy sleeves.  A Bride who wants her Bridesmaids to reflect 1940’s fashions could have them in knee-length dresses (perfect for doing the jitterbug) and flowers in their hair.  As for the Groom and his Groomsmen, nothing says 1940’s fashion like wide-brimmed fedoras and patterned, colorful ties.

A Bride and her Bridesmaids can also shine with 1940’s glamour through their hairstyles, manicures and makeup.  Shoulder-length and longer hair was popular then, with graceful side parts, pompadours or, later, Victory Roll hairstyles.  Women frequently matched the color of their lipstick to their nail polish, often using vibrant dark reds.

Brides and Grooms who love the 1940’s can look for inspiration from such actors as Judy Garland, Errol Flynn and John Wayne.  As far as music goes, artists like Billie Holiday Frank Sinatra were wildly popular.  American culture was also strongly affected by Norman Rockwell’s Four Freedoms series, the fashions of Christian Dior and the baseball games (and wartime service) of Joe Dimaggio and Ted Williams.
