Amethysts, Diamonds and Pearls Make For An Enchanting Purple Wedding Theme • Taylor & Hart

Purple-themed weddings have soared in popularity in recent years, and it’s easy to see why they’re so popular for a white veil occasion. A nostalgic hue, often associated with royalty and romance, purple brings a little bit of magic dust to any occasion. Whether it’s the soft shades of lavender for a spring garden wedding or deep plum and aubergine tones for a more dramatic autumnal festivity, the versatility of purple decor and jewellery allows couples to craft a uniquely coloured day.

This enchanting colour also carries symbolic meaning for couples starting their journey together, so incorporating purple gemstones into their engagement rings or wedding bands could add a layer of extra significance. From lovely bridesmaid dresses and bridal jewellery to table décor and even wedding cakes, purple offers endless possibilities to add more personality to the big day. As couples look for ways to combine traditional styles with a hint of their own individuality, it’s no wonder purple has become a favourite choice for modern weddings. If purple is on your dream palette, speak now or forever hold your peace.

Amethyst: The Purple Birthstone

Amethyst jewellery can be both dazzling and meaningful for the couple as well as their guests. Known for their stunning violet hues, amethysts would perfectly complement a purple wedding colour scheme. A pair of amethyst earrings on the bride or bridesmaids wearing matching amethyst necklaces would tie the theme together in a whimsical way. After all, Elizabeth Taylor famously adored these precious gemstones, so who better to inspire a fabulous wedding?

As this softer stone is prone to knock if worn often, we don’t offer amethysts as main stones in our engagement and wedding ring designs, but they can be included as a Signature Stone. We also offer it for our jewellery pieces which look great with platinum and white gold amplifying the cool tones of the gemstone, as well as yellow and rose gold which provides a warm, romantic contrast.

The story of purple sapphires

Purple sapphires are a stunning choice for a purple-themed wedding. These exquisite gemstones symbolise qualities that align beautifully with the promises made when celebrating your own ‘story of us’. As a more distinctive alternative to traditional diamonds, purple sapphires bring a sense of individuality and sophistication to engagement rings, wedding bands, or bridal jewellery.

Their durability ensures they will remain a treasured heirloom for years to come, making them not just beautiful but practical as well. Whether as centrepieces in rings or accents in necklaces and earrings, purple sapphires add a touch of royal charm, elevating the magic of a purple wedding theme.

Purple sapphire wedding bands add a touch that’s very on-theme. They can be incorporated into eternity-style rings, where the gemstones encircle the band, or as accent stones paired with diamonds or intricate engravings. The Laurel ring is a great example of how romantic and natural this theme can be. These designs not only reflect the purple wedding theme but also symbolise enduring love and commitment, ensuring sparks fly forever.

Diamonds go with everything, including purple

Bridal jewellery will be that much more fabulous with the addition of diamonds, and their versatility makes them a flawless complement to a purple wedding theme. The clear, neutral sparkle of diamond jewellery creates a beautiful balance against the soft tones of lilac that enhances the dreamy and romantic feel of the lighter purple shades. With deep purples, diamonds provide a striking contrast, their radiant brilliance illuminating and elevating the richness of the darker hue.

Diamonds in wedding bands symbolise eternity and can be paired with purple gemstones to echo the wedding’s theme. For a subtle effect, pavé diamonds can be set alongside purple sapphires in the bride’s ring. Simple diamond earrings complement the intricate details of other purple elements in the wedding, as do diamond necklaces and diamond bracelets.

Pearls on shell

Pearls, pearls, pearls

With their soft, lustrous tones, pearls perfectly complement purple shades like lilac, plum, or violet which all suit a purple-themed wedding. Pearls are often associated with new beginnings, making them particularly fitting for bridal jewellery.

Whether it’s a pearl necklace worn by the bride or customised pearl bracelets for the bridal party, these pieces can be beautiful keepsakes for the happy occasion.

Their versatile nature of pearl jewellery ensures they can suit so many wedding styles, including vintage-inspired and rustic aesthetics. A pair of pearl earrings will suit a classic updo as much as they’ll complement casual loose curls.
