"I know not which I love the most, Nor which the comeliest shows, The timid, bashful violet Or the royal-hearted rose: The pansy in purple dress, The pink with cheek of red, Or the faint, fair heliotrope, who hangs, Like a bashful maid her head" ~ Phoebe Cary~

Purple flowers represent pride, dignity and success; this is because the color purple has its origin ties to ceremony and royalty. Whether it is a single proud purple flower or a bold range of rich purple hues, a purple flower arrangement represents admiration and accomplishment. A flower arrangement of rich purple flowers in combination with other flowers of vibrant hues provides contrast and depth. Such a beautiful purple flower arrangement enhances the beauty of any venue surrounding it in a delicious purple haze.

Purple flower arrangements are ideal for a wide range of events. They serve beautifully as items of home décor and they are perfect decorations for special occasions. Gorgeous purple flower arrangements are perfect for weddings, anniversaries, birthdays and even somber occasions like funerals. Such purple flowers look perfect in rooms of complementary colors. If you have selected various types of purple flower arrangements as your main item of decoration, the venue should preferably be in pink, white, cream, beige, lavender and other base colors. If the rooms are of a very dark color, the beauty of the purple color of the flowers will be overshadowed.

Such flower arrangements are not only limited to the color purple, there are many rich hues and shades under the purple color family. Flowers are seen in shades of lavender, lilac, violet, eggplant, plum, mauve, rich amethyst, wine, pomegranate, mulberry, puce and thistle.
