Confession time: purple never lived towards the top of my wedding palette love list. In fact, I was sort of indifferent to the whole berry family of hues...that was until this Michelle Lange beauty came across my screen. Splashed against one wildly elegant ballroom with gold accents and cozy candles everywhere you look, this my dears, is the purple "I do" done oh-so-right.
