Purple Prose:

definition: an idiomatic expression used to describe writing that is superfluously ornate, showy, obscure, or garish.

These purple dresses exhibit at least two of the above four qualities.


Kudos to the bride for letting her MOH get creative with her gown (within the confines of the palette). The bridesmaids' dresses, however, are a little more questionable. They *might* have worked had they been short and of a less offensive hue, and had everyone's hair been swept into a classy but contemporary up-do. Of particularly heinous note: bridesmaid on the far left, who chose a two-bit chunky headpiece in the EXACT same fabric and colour as her dress. Fail.

Also, are we the ONLY ones who think that near-matching your bridesmaids' bouquets to their dresses is a bad idea? This is the THIRD wedding we've seen in recent history with solid purple-on-purple bouquet to dress action. What gives, and why does it give in monochrome?

Think it over, future brides, lest your weddings fall short of "regal."
