Purple and red colors for the wedding.

Why do so many orders come with that request? I guess many answers may be given. Purple is the most powerful wavelength of rainbow, vibrant and rich color that shows the uniqueness and active personality. Meanwhile the purple color has long time history and tradition, for example Roman Emperors or privileged individuals could wear the purple cloths or accessories only.  It become the symbol of Pope and called “Imperial Purple”. Purple symbolizes magic, spiritually, creativity, mystery, dignity and royalty.
