Wedding Colour of the Month! - Purple

Each month we will be featuring colourful wedding photos to inspire you and help you choose a colour for your special day! Please check back often for the colour you have in mind.

We just LOVE these purple & green shades (or as Benjamin Moore would call it: Amethyst Cream & Spring Meadow Green)

This makes for a great summer wedding colour as that is when hydrangea's are in season. Hydrangea's are a reasonably priced flower, and you can even grow them yourself!

The pH level of your soil will change the colour of the hydrangea. To make your hydrangeas more blue add aluminum to the soil. If you want to make them more pink add dolomitic lime several times a year.
