Lilac Wedding Theme – How to Create one

Lilac is a perfect choice as the main colour for your wedding theme.  It’s soft and romantic so a fantastic alternative to pink as it’s slightly less girly and will probably be more acceptable to the groom.

A lot of individual elements create a wedding theme so we’ll take a look at them in turn.

Lilac Wedding Invites

You probably already know that wedding invites give your guests a taster of the wedding to come so it makes sense to kick off your lilac wedding theme with lilac wedding invitations.  If you have the time you can create your own lilac wedding invitations using lilac paper, ink, ribbon or even lilac flowers.  If you don’t have the time or patience to create your own lilac wedding invitations then you can always buy them.  The Flowered Lilac Wedding Invitations from Wedding And Gems Invites shown below are fantastic if you want quality invites without having to spend a fortune.

Lilac Wedding Decorations and Favours

While the lilac wedding invitations give you guests a hint of your wedding theme your table decorations will be the main element of your lilac wedding theme at your wedding reception. You have loads of options on decorating your reception tables for example Lilac Wedding Favours.  We thought these wedding favours from Pink Products were great, they’re inexpensive, easy to assemble and can be glammed up with ribbon or beads like shown in the image below.  I think what i like about these lilac wedding favours the most is that they’re not the typical cube wedding favour.

Lilac wedding favours on their own won’t create a successful lilac wedding theme but they’re a good start in bring lilac to your reception tables.  Another area you can bring lilac in is name cards.  These particular name cards are part of the Flowered Lilac wedding stationery range at Wedding And Gems Invites so you can see them within the image of the lilac wedding invites image above and can be bought from Wedding And Gems Invites.

You can also use lilac napkins or standard white napkins tied with a lilac ribbon and lilac balloons as your centerpiece.  If you don’t want to use balloons then opt for lilac candles or plain white candles wrapped in lilac craft wire to give a dramatic effect.  Lilac silk petals are also great to give the table interest and are inexpensive.

Lilac Bridesmaids Dresses and Accessories

The main element of your wedding colour theme will be your bridesmaids dresses and their accessories.  Whether you choose lilac dresses for your bridesmaids or dresses with a lilac accent such as embroidery or sashes.

Many brides give their bridesmaid gift that double up as accessories on their wedding day.  Such as these bridesmaids earrings shown in amethyst which will match lilac bridesmaids dresses perfectly and there also a necklace to match too.
