Mina…do you also have a purple fetish? I am in **LOVE **with purple. I feel I am one with that color! I just came from the grocery store and the purple roses and tulips were so gorgeous. Have you noticed that when you ask people why they prefer a certain color, they usually give no other reason other than “I like it.”
But not I…my fellow purplarian! I do have a reason…several…that go beyond the vague, “I like it.”
See, every color represents a mood and various qualities. Purple represents mystery, creativity, imagination, spirituality, and royalty…all of which I adore. It is a common favorite among artists. It promotes relaxation. The opposite of purple on the color wheel is yellow. And since most desis have yellow undertones in the their skin…purple being the complimentary color for yellow flatters most Asian complexion.
And you know what the **COOLEST **reason of all is? Purple is a combination of red and blue. Red is strong, fiery, dynamic, bold, passionate, impulsive, and dangerous. Whereas blue represents calm, peace, security, loyalty, sincerity, stability. And purple merges the qualities of both red and blue…two very powerful colors in the color wheel.
I know…I’m a freak. I dedicated a whole frickin thread on purple. I need to get a life. But…I will admit…I’m rather proud of myself. I think one should have reasons for why they are partial to one color above others. I’ve taught language arts quite a bit, so I get my students to think about the symbolism behind the colors chosen by the author in novels…as well as names of characters.
I’ve taken several art classes so I a fetish for color in case you guys havent’ noticed. I also have a fetish for the word “fetish.” You can never use it enough.
So…yes, Reha. I agree with Mina. Puple and gold are a royal and regal combination…and what bride doesn’t want to look like a royal princess on her special day. The cool thing about gold is that you can put practically ANY color next to it and it will stand out. Thats why u should go with purple and gold. And as far as the person who suggested you match your decor to your clothes…I suggest you glare at the them. (kidding).
Mina, I forgot to tell you this earlier. But I think the example of the bridal dress you pasted is really lovely and classy. It’s a very pretty choice for a wedding dress.
Reha, what color flowers are you getting? What do you think of purple cala lillies?
I’m going to google image Mina’s flower pics and narrow it down to those I think are divine:)
