A range of majestic purple, fuchsia, burgundy or royal purple will also be perfect.

In addition, many guests do not tolerate the heat, which more and more often accompanies the June or July celebrations. High temperatures are not conducive to having fun, crazy dancing or enjoying wonderful wedding dishes (not to mention the durability of makeup and hairstyle). 

A wedding in November means the availability of guests

The holiday period in July and August means that many guests cannot attend the wedding due to holiday trips. In turn, the beginning of the school and academic year is a period of hard work and many responsibilities, which is also not conducive to planning participation in wedding celebrations.

However, we can slightly modify the tradition and make them an intriguing element of wedding fun. And above all, include all guests, regardless of age or marital status. Especially since the end of November is traditionally the time that ends - for a few weeks - the period of games and dances, according to the proverb Saint Catherine (24.11) lost her keys.
