Lilac is a popular and beautiful color for spring and summer weddings. Lilac creates an elegant, romantic mood with a fresh feel. Get creative with your lilac wedding theme by incorporating the color in dresses, decorations, centerpieces and the wedding cake.
Dresses
The bride can wear white bridal dress or add a lilac sash to a white or ivory dress. While bridesmaids choose lilac bridesmaid dresses, and groomsmen can wear lilac neckties. Consider dressing the bridesmaids in different shades of lilac for a modern look.
Ceremony and Reception Decorations
Add elegance to your ceremony and reception by decorating with lilacs or other purple flowers, such as Gerbera daisies, orchids or tulips. White flowers will also look elegant in a white/lilac color scheme. Use lilac wash lighting at the reception for a dramatic effect. Clusters of lilac balloons are also a cheap but attractive decorating strategy. You can browse some the ceremony and reception sites before planning your decorations.
Table Decorations
Use lilacs or purple flowers for the centerpiece -- you can use the bridesmaids' bouquets if you want to save money. You can also decorate tables with lilac confetti and lilac-colored treats, such as lilac M&Ms or purple grapes. Lilac candles also make elegant table decorations.
The Wedding Cake
Your wedding cake can be frosted in lilac, but a white or ivory cake with lilac accents typically looks more elegant. For example, adorn a white cake with lilac ribbon or lace, add lilac pinstripes, or top the cake with purple flowers. Alternately, include a layer of lilac frosting in a layer cake for a fun surprise.
