<p>This stylized lily is Louisiana&#8217;s official state symbol, so this motif is a must have on your stationery suite.</p>
<p><strong>Purple Bridesmaid Dresses</strong></p>
<div id="attachment_20640" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 660px"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://xotheknot.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/tkroh12ss_laurapeter09.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-20640 " alt="Mardi Gras Wedding Ideas" src="http://xotheknot.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/tkroh12ss_laurapeter09.jpg?w=652"   /></a><p class="wp-caption-text"><span style="font-size:xx-small;">Photo: <a href="http://www.theknot.com/weddings/album/a-rustic-formal-wedding-in-cincinnati-oh-96448" target="_new"> Jonathan Gibson Photography</a></span></p></div>
<p>Pair bridesmaid dresses in a saturated purple hue with sunflowers for a stylish nod to the wild event.</p>
