Drop hints to your guests right from the get-go that you plan to incorporate Ultra Violet into your wedding décor. If you’re not a fan of so much purple, we suggest adding some pinks and greens to soften the look.
Personalized Agate Name Cards from FoxAndHart
Jewel tones and natural stone textures are all the rage for the upcoming wedding season. If you want to add just brief pop of color, pair the look of a neutral tablescape with an Ultra Violet agate stone as a name card.

With geometric shapes being all the rage right now, we know it can sometimes be a challenge to pair different shapes with the right color palette. What better way than to incorporate the best of both worlds with a subtly colored shape and an Ultra Violet dinner napkin?

Stay classy and be a crowd-pleaser by hosting signature cocktails after your ceremony (or before). We really like this Blackberry French 75 cocktail, which is easy to make and the ideal combination of champagne and gin.

This jaw dropping beachfront gazebo is just as bold as it is sassy! We adore the use of Ultra Violet paired with bright tropical hues of pinks and ivory. Sheer curtains that are colored are the easiest way to jazz up a dull gazebo structure.

Wedding Concierge Ashley can’t get enough of the dramatic look that up lights have on a venue. Whether your toes are in the sand or you are dancing the night away in a hip hotel, up lighting adds the perfect wow-factor. Connect with your DJ and have them set your lights to the nearest Ultra Violet tone to accentuate all the best features.

If you’re not convinced that ‘all that purple’ is right for you, we suggest adding in small pieces that don’t make a big splash. One perfect way is a groomsmen gift like these socks. Give your guys something to talk about while having peace of mind that they are wearing the right type of footwear for your big day.
Cascading Cakes with a Pop of Ultra Violet
As Seen in The Wedding Scoop
While we mentioned that cascading bouquets are making a comeback, who would have thought the same of cakes? This three-tiered cake has a classically elegant look while incorporating some super mod trends. The center tier is striking with the Ultra Violet color that pairs nicely with the marbled look on the bottom. We suggest adding in flowers that match your bouquet, or if you prefer less, opt for a flowerless look!
