There are numerous variations of the color
purple. Purple shades are popular every fall. Try a bright purple shade this fall
- Orchid. Orchid is a bright rich purple color that resembles the color of some
orchids. Radiant orchid is a cross between purple and pink. It makes it perfect
if you love both colors and just can't decide. Various tones of orchid may
range from grayish purple to purplish-pink to strong reddish purple. The name
comes from the flowers of some species of the vast orchid family.
“Radiant Orchid blooms with confidence and
magical warmth that intrigues the eye and sparks the imagination. It is an
expressive, creative and embracing purple—one that draws you in with its
beguiling charm. A captivating harmony of fuchsia, purple and pink undertones,
Radiant Orchid emanates great joy, love and health.” – Pantone
Radiant Orchid is perfect color choice for
bridesmaid dresses. Needless to say, we easily could see why fashion-forward
brides-to-be are choosing this incredible hue for their girls. Radiant orchid
dresses look good on everyone, it's an airy and fresh color that isn't
overwhelmingly bright, and it pairs splendidly with a multitude of other pretty
wedding colors.
Another way to add Radiant Orchid to your
wedding is choosing Orchid flowers on your wedding. A fun way to add color to
your wedding is in the shoes. If your bridesmaids are wearing a rather
conservative colored dress, spice things up a bit with radiant orchid shoes in a
complimentary shade.
Radiant Orchid works exceptionally well
with many colors – my favorites are lighter pinks, light or deep purples, and
deep midnight blue tones. It also works wonderfully with all the usual metallic
colors: silver, gold, platinum, pewter, and bronze would all look great when
paired with this hue. You can also mix it with softer tones like pale pink,
pale blue, and pale yellow.
