Vestidos de novia morados
Purple wedding dress is a good idea for a bride who wants color with a soft, romantic or regal feel. Light purples like lavender and lilac look gentle and dreamy. Deep purples like plum and eggplant look rich and dramatic. Both still read as bridal when paired with lace, tulle, or a classic gown shape.
This color sits within the main wedding dresses range. Purple bridal looks include full gowns in one shade, white or ivory dresses with purple lace or embroidery, and ombré skirts that fade from white to lilac. Shapes run from airy A-lines to fitted mermaids.
The shade you choose often follows the season. Pastel purples fit spring and early summer. Darker purples fit fall and winter, when rich colors feel warm and cozy.
What Styles Do Purple Wedding Dresses Come In?
Purple changes depth depending on how fabric folds, so the silhouette affects how light or dark the dress looks.
- A-line: fitted at the bodice, then flaring softly. A lavender A-line looks fresh and easy, and A-line wedding dresses suit almost every shape and venue.
- Ball gown: a big, layered skirt with a tight waist. Lilac tulle in this shape feels like a storybook, and ball gown wedding dresses in deep plum look grand in a cathedral.
- Princess: soft, full, and often with a corset back. Light purple is a fairy-tale color, so princess wedding dresses and lavender go hand in hand.
- Mermaid: close-fitting to the knee, then flaring out. Eggplant satin in a mermaid cut looks bold and sultry, and mermaid wedding dresses show every curve.
- Fit-and-flare: snug to the hip with a flare from mid-thigh. A purple fit-and-flare wedding dress gives a shaped look that is easier to walk in than a mermaid.
- Sheath: a slim, straight cut. In soft lilac crepe or chiffon, sheath wedding dresses look calm and modern.
- Empire waist: the waistline is raised to the ribcage, and the skirt hangs free below. Lavender in this shape feels Grecian and light, and empire waist wedding dresses are easy to wear all day.
- Fitted: close to the body from top to bottom. Deep purple is slimming and striking, and fitted wedding dresses in plum make a confident evening look.
- Two-piece: a matched top and skirt worn together. A white lace top over a lilac tulle skirt mixes tradition with color, and two-piece wedding dresses make that combo simple.
How Long Should a Purple Wedding Dress Be?
Length helps set the mood. A floor-length purple gown feels formal and romantic. A shorter one feels fun and relaxed.
- Short: above the knee. A lilac mini is playful and light, and short wedding dresses are great for a spring brunch or a reception change.
- Knee-length: stops at the knee. Purple lace in this length looks tidy, so knee-length wedding dresses fit a city hall ceremony or a small family lunch.
- Tea-length: falls to mid-calf. Lavender tea-length skirts have a sweet vintage charm, and tea-length wedding dresses pair nicely with ankle-strap shoes.
- Long and maxi: the skirt grazes the ground. Most purple bridal gowns are full length, and long and maxi wedding dresses cover both breezy lilac chiffon and heavy plum satin.
- High-low: short in front, long in back. Purple high-low wedding dresses suit garden lawns and keep the hem off wet grass.
Do You Want a Train on a Purple Dress?
A train is the part of the skirt that trails behind you. It can be a short sweep, a medium chapel length, or a long cathedral sweep. Ombré gowns that fade from white at the waist to deep purple at the hem look amazing with a long train. If you want that effect in photos, wedding dresses with a train give the most room for it. Add a bustle so you can move freely later.
Which Neckline Works Best on a Purple Wedding Dress?
Purple sits close to the face, so the neckline shapes how the color frames your skin. It also guides which jewelry and hair styles look best.
Open Necklines That Show the Shoulders
- Strapless: no straps, with boning for support. A strapless lavender bodice looks soft and clean, and strapless wedding dresses show off a simple pendant.
- Sweetheart: the top dips in the middle like a heart. Purple sweetheart wedding dresses look romantic, especially with lace appliqués over the bust.
- Sweetheart with straps or sleeves: the heart shape plus straps, sleeves, or sheer panels. When you want a lilac gown with more hold, sweetheart neckline wedding dresses keep the curve and add coverage.
- Off-shoulder: sits below the shoulders on the upper arm. Lavender lace sleeves in this cut look dreamy, and off-shoulder wedding dresses show the collarbone.
- One-shoulder: one side covered, one bare. Deep purple one-shoulder wedding dresses look modern and a bit dramatic.
Necklines With Straps
- V-neck: the front forms a V. A plum V-neck lengthens the neck and looks elegant, and V-neck wedding dresses range from soft to deep.
- Spaghetti strap: thin straps on the shoulders. Light lilac with thin straps is perfect for warm days, so spaghetti strap wedding dresses suit beach and garden vows.
- Halter: the bodice is held up by a band that loops behind the neck. Purple halter wedding dresses show off arms and shoulders and often pair with an open back.
- Square neck: an open, box-shaped frame across the bust. In soft lavender, square neck wedding dresses have a gentle, Regency-era feel.
- Cowl neck: loose folds at the front. Plum satin with a cowl looks luxe, and cowl neck wedding dresses keep the line simple.
Necklines With More Coverage
- High neck: fabric comes up near the throat. Purple lace in a high neck looks refined, so high neck wedding dresses suit religious ceremonies and cooler months.
- Boat neck: a wide opening that follows the collarbone almost edge to edge. A lilac boat neck wedding dress looks graceful and covered.
- Illusion: see-through tulle used as a base for lace motifs. Purple flowers on an illusion wedding dress seem to sit right on the skin.
Which Fabrics and Details Make a Purple Wedding Dress?
Fabric changes how purple reads. Matte fabrics look soft and chalky. Shiny fabrics deepen the color and make it look richer.
- Lace: patterned thread, often in lilac over ivory or ivory over lilac. Lace wedding dresses in purple tones look romantic and detailed.
- Satin: smooth and glossy. Plum or eggplant satin wedding dresses look rich, especially in fall and winter.
- Tulle: soft net in layers. Lavender tulle looks like a cloud, and tulle wedding dresses make pastel purple feel light and floaty.
- Chiffon: thin and flowing. Lilac chiffon wedding dresses move nicely in a breeze and stay cool outdoors.
- Beading: pearls or crystals stitched on. Silver beading on deep purple looks regal, and beaded wedding dresses add sparkle to any shade.
- Sequins: tiny reflective circles stitched in rows. Purple sequin wedding dresses suit a bold evening reception.
- Sparkle and glitter: shimmer spread across the gown. Glitter tulle in lavender gives a soft, magical glow, and sparkly wedding dresses offer many ways to add that shine.
- Floral patterns: flowers stitched or printed into the fabric. Purple blooms on white make floral wedding dresses feel like a spring garden.
- 3D flowers: raised fabric flowers sewn onto the dress. Flower wedding dresses with lilac petals scattered down the skirt look soft and playful.
What About the Back of a Purple Dress?
The back of your dress faces guests for the whole ceremony. In purple, a corset lace-up in a contrasting shade, covered buttons, a keyhole, or an open back all add interest. Backless wedding dresses frame the skin with color, held in place by boning or a built-in bra.
Where and When Do Purple Wedding Dresses Work Best?
Purple adapts well. Light shades suit daytime and outdoor events. Dark shades suit evening and indoor ones.
By Venue and Type of Wedding
- Beach: lavender chiffon looks lovely against blue water and pale sand. Beach wedding dresses in light purple stay airy and cool.
- Destination: pick a purple fabric that resists creases. Destination wedding dresses in soft lilac pack easily and look fresh on arrival.
- Outdoor: lilac matches lavender fields, gardens, and wildflower meadows. Outdoor wedding dresses with shorter hems keep the purple clean.
- Courthouse: a short purple dress feels special without being too formal. Courthouse wedding dresses in plum or lilac stand out in a plain room.
- Black-tie: deep purple satin looks very formal at night. Black-tie wedding dresses in eggplant or plum suit grand evening venues.
- Maternity: a soft lilac empire waist is comfortable and pretty. Maternity wedding dresses in purple use stretch fabric for room to grow.
By Season
- Spring: lavender and lilac match lilacs, wisteria, and fresh greens. Spring wedding dresses in pastel purple feel bright and new.
- Summer: light purples in thin fabric keep you cool. Summer wedding dresses in lilac chiffon look great at sunset.
- Fall: plum and aubergine match autumn leaves and berries. Fall wedding dresses in deep purple satin look warm and rich.
- Winter: eggplant and dark violet look regal by candlelight. Winter wedding dresses in purple velvet-like satin with long sleeves keep you cozy.
How Do You Pick the Right Purple Wedding Dress?
With so many shades, it helps to work in order:
- Pick light or deep. Lavender and lilac feel soft. Plum and eggplant feel bold and formal.
- Set your budget. Lace and beading add cost. For a mid-range spend, wedding dresses under $500 include many lace and tulle options.
- Match the season. Light purple for spring and summer, deep purple for fall and winter.
- Decide how much purple. A full purple gown is bold. Purple lace or an ombré hem on white is gentler.
- Check sizing. Measure bust, waist, hips, and hollow-to-hem and compare with the size chart. For curvier brides, plus size wedding dresses offer more room and support.
- Order early. Leave a few months for shipping and changes by a tailor.
Purple Wedding Dresses: Shades, Seasons, and Styling
When and Where to Wear Purple
Purple has long been linked with royalty, so it suits brides who want a regal, special feel. Light purple fits spring garden weddings, lavender farm ceremonies, and relaxed outdoor parties. Deep purple fits fall vineyard weddings, winter ballroom events, and candlelit evening vows. It is also popular for second weddings, vow renewals, and elopements, where brides feel free to skip white.
Which Shades of Purple Are There?
- Lavender: a pale, soft purple with a gray-blue hint.
- Lilac: a little pinker and brighter than lavender.
- Mauve: a dusty purple-pink, muted and vintage.
- Violet: a clear, mid-tone purple.
- Plum: deep red-purple, warm and rich.
- Eggplant (aubergine): the darkest, close to brown-black in low light.
If your lilac leans very pink, pink wedding dresses cover blush and rose shades with no purple in them. For every other non-white bridal shade, colored wedding dresses bring them all together.
Which Skin Tones Suit Purple?
Lavender and lilac often suit fair and cool-toned skin. Plum and eggplant look rich on olive, medium, and deep skin. Warm-toned brides may prefer red-based purples like plum or mauve over blue-based violet. The best test is holding the shade near your face in daylight.
How Does Purple Look in Photos?
Light purple can look almost gray or blue in cool daylight or shade, so check photos in natural light. Deep purple can look black in dim rooms, so good lighting helps the color show. Golden-hour light warms both ends of the range nicely.
What Should You Pair With a Purple Dress?
- Veil: ivory or white keeps the look bridal. A lilac-tinted veil works with a light gown.
- Jewelry: silver and pearls suit lavender. Gold and amethyst suit plum.
- Flowers: white roses, lavender sprigs, lilac, purple anemones, and eucalyptus.
- Groom and bridal party: gray, navy, and charcoal suits pair well. Bridesmaids can wear sage, dusty blue, or a lighter shade of the bride's purple.
