Lilac Wedding Invitation Ideas
Lilac is a very popular choice for weddings and for me it symbolizes that Spring has arrived! I love how the pretty lilac flowers decorate our landscape and fill the air with their unique scent. Now spring has finally sprung, what better time than to share my lilac wedding ideas with you - Loving Lilac;
There are many ways you can introduce lilac into your day. For instance you could base your lilac theme around lilac coloured flowers like orchids, sweet peas, hydrangeas, lilacs, roses or lavender. Or you could simply go for a lilac butterfly theme like I have shown above. Before you finalise your theme, shop around for wedding invitations and matching stationery. Wedding invitations and save the date cards are often the first snippet your guests will get of your wedding so it’s important that you choose something that’s going to reflect your theme. day.
Here is a selection of lilac wedding invitations I have hand picked from The Card Gallery;
