For weddings in the Provence style, lilac and purple details are suitable, blue beads or pearl elements can be used for a sea celebration, a white and yellow palette will decorate a lemon celebration. With rhinestones, the bride-needlewoman needs to be careful - the abundance of shining pebbles will perfectly emphasize the official style of the wedding, and at an informal event it will look inappropriate.
