Wedding season is in full swing, which means you’re probably going to a bunch of weddings this year. If so, congrats! They’re fun and all, but they can also be tricky—especially if you work in an office where everyone’s wearing the same thing. You want to look nice without being boring or overdressed, right? Here’s what you need to know about what to wear with a purple dress to the wedding.
Metallic silver and gold
Gold, silver, and other metallic colors are the most natural colors to pair with a purple dress.
If you’re looking to go with a metallic color, silver or gold are the most natural. Metallic colors can be formal or casual; they can be worn during the day or night, and they can be worn in summer and winter.
Black
Black is an excellent color to wear with a purple dress because it makes the purple look more vibrant.
Black is one of the most versatile colors you can wear. It has a formal aspect, so it can be used for weddings and special occasions. But it also has an informal side, so you can use it to dress down if necessary.
Black goes with all sorts of different shades of purple, from bright pinks and purples to deep plums and violets. Black will also make your purple dress look brighter than when paired with other colors like white or gray because black absorbs light instead of reflecting it as these other colors do. This makes the purple in your dress pop out more prominently against your dark background.
White
White. White is also an excellent color to wear with a purple dress. It can be paired with any other colors and looks great with a black or brown purse, but it’s also formal enough to go well at the weddings you’ll be attending in your life.
Perhaps one of the best things about white is that it goes so well with other colors, like purple! If you really want to make an impression on someone special, pair your white dress with some heels and jewelry made out of purple gemstones (or at least inlaid with something that looks like it).
Blue
When paired with a purple dress, blue can be either formal or casual. For instance, a navy blue suit is a great option for men or women attending a wedding in the evening or wintertime.
While purple is a bold color, blue goes with just about anything. If you have a navy blue suit, that’s an obvious choice. But if you’d rather wear something more casual, try pairing your purple dress with jeans and a button-down shirt in a similar shade of blue. If you’re attending a wedding in the evening or wintertime, this look can be just as formal as wearing black tie (or any other tuxedo).
Green
With green, you need to pay attention to the shade of purple you’re wearing and the shade of green you choose to pair it with.
Green is a great color to pair with purple. In fact, it’s one of the best. Green can be formal or casual and is a perfect complement to your bridesmaid dress or any other shade of purple you choose to wear.
Green has two different tones: dark and light. The dark green complements your darker shades of purple better than the light green. If you’re wearing a lighter shade of blue, like indigo or periwinkle, then go for the lighter tone in green as well—it’ll balance out your outfit nicely!
You can wear metallic colors, black and white, and blue or green along with a purple dress to a wedding depending on what time of day the party is held, how formal the event is supposed to be, and the shade of your dress.
You can also wear colored shoes such as gold or silver for your wedding attire. You might also want to consider accessories like a purse that matches your dress color or that has some type of bling on it
