How To Add Very Peri To Your Wedding

This won't be the first time periwinkle made its way around the wedding scene. In fact, it was a popular color choice in the early to late 2000s. Since everything is new again, it does seem about time for this hue to make its return.

If your wedding day is in the first quarter of 2022, it might take time for vendors to add a true periwinkle back into their stock. However, there are still a couple ways to incorporate periwinkle into your wedding. Let's take a look.

First, we must realize that periwinkle is actually a flower. This is where the color is coming from. For those with wedding dates quickly approaching, it still may be possible for your florist to add the flower to your arrangement. Since periwinkle is a smaller flower, it's typically used as an accent around larger blooms. Most often, we see periwinkle added to bouquets with white, ivory, purple or blue flowers—especially with those dusty blue and purple florals. Don't be afraid to show off the greenery. Periwinkle and green are complimentary.

If you can't get your hands on perwinkle wedding accessories yet, there are a few hues that will give your wedding day a similar look. Cornflower (sometimes called carolina blue or steel blue) is a similar hue we're already seeing for weddings, and it's readily available from many wedding vendors. It's close to periwinkle in terms of lightness and brightness, but with more blue than purple. (And periwinkle flowers coordinate with this color, too.)

This cornflower tie is similar to periwinkle, but with more blue tones than purple.

If you're set on the purple hues of periwinkle, consider a lavender, lilac or freesia as a lighter alternative. Although these colors are lighter than a true periwinkle, they often have those blue undertones we see in periwinkle.

Besides pinning to your wedding board, you can start planning your periwinkle themed wedding by looking at colors in real life.
