BADGE OF HONOR: Groomsmen sported boutonnieres of orchids and green hypericum berries by OK Florist.

STYLE FILE: The couple bought mix-and-match lavender ties and pocket squares for their ushers.

GIRL TALK: Flower girls Sydney and Trinity’s lilac dresses kicked off the purple parade. They had a blast, says Erica, “But Sydney barely made it down the aisle since she dropped all of her rose petals before she hit the guest chairs!”

MEETING OF THE MINDS: The couple worked with friend Mecca Williams and artist David Arroyo (who they found on Reddit) to create the invitation suite.

FLOWER POWER: The greens at Daniel Island Club are so pristine, a simple cascade of white and pale purple rose petals was more than enough to dress the aisle.

PALETTE PLAY: Bridesmaids carried white bouquets of hydrangeas and roses with sprigs of purple stock.

WHAT A TREAT: Tables covered in bold purple linens were topped with purple stock, fuchsia roses, purple blazing star, and white lilies by OK Florist. Erica’s mother, aunt, and cousins made miniature “cake” favors from stacked cookies they iced together.

Erica Harris & Nathan Tuggle
September 14, 2013, Daniel Island Club

Georgia residents Erica Harris and Nathan Tuggle were after Southern hospitality for their Big Day. “We love the atmosphere, history, food, and weather,” says Erica of choosing the Lowcountry and Daniel Island Club for their wedding locale and venue. When it came to a palette, she and Nathan—who teamed up to tackle about 40 percent of the wedding planning themselves—went with bold eggplant, lavender, olive green, and gray, a combination they found on Pinterest. Karen Porreca of Simply Eventful Charleston stepped in to style and coordinate the affair, including the ceremony dominated by shades of eggplant, and a reception decked out in the full array of colors—from deep purple linens accented with green here and there to the lavender-lit ballroom, which proved a huge hit. “It was a big dance party from beginning to end,” says Erica.
