Get ready, purple loving brides! Because 2018 is here and we are already seeing a ton of ideas inspired by Pantone's Color of the Year, Ultra Violet.

Start your own planning with our inspiration board below!

The Paper

Watercolor lettering and ultra violet florals make this invitation suite one your guests will want to keep on their fridge long after your "I dos."

The Bride

This dainty flower crown is the perfect way to incorporate purple hues into your bridal look, without going overboard.

The Girls

Flowing gowns in violet and lavender will have your girls looking like royalty. And garlands (or bouquets) full of lush greens pair perfectly with this palette.

The Guys

Dress up a grey linen suit with a deep purple pocket square and tie.

The Ring

For the alternative bride, an amethyst ring set in rose gold is ultra violet perfection.

The Ceremony

Who wouldn't want to married under this ultra violet chuppah? We especially love that the florals continue on the inside as well.

The Flowers

Add gorgeous texture to your bouquet by sneaking some succulents in with vibrant purple florals.

The Table Setting

We love the way this bride brought subtle hints of ultra violet to her table settings. The vintage wine glasses match the purple tones of her succulents perfectly!

The Cake

If there was ever a wedding trend powerhouse, this is it. This stunning geode cake combines marble texturing AND Pantone's color of the year. And we'd like an extra slice, please!

The Cocktails

Handcrafted cocktails with lavender syrup and blueberries will have your guests coming back for refills all night long.

The Favors

For the DIY loving bride - this favor treat is for you! Simple homemade lollipops are made special with the addition of edible violets and pansies. They're *almost* too pretty to eat!
