Stylistics and color combination
There is a huge variety of shades of this noble color. At the same time, they combine perfectly with each other. Whatever shade you choose for the bride's bouquet, it is not necessary that it repeats the overall color scheme in the wedding decoration. It can be lighter or darker tones.
A bride holding a lilac wedding bouquet in her hands should have some accessory of a similar shade to harmonize her image. This could be a piece of jewelry, a piece of clothing, or trim on a dress. In this case, the tones may be different. A lilac wedding flower arrangement can be combined with:

- The bride's shoes or handbag are lavender.
- Details in the decoration of the dress, a cape in purple tones.
If the bride has chosen a lilac color for her wedding dress, it is better that it be a light shade. This range is unlikely to be suitable for a classic wedding; it is better to use it at romantic themed events. The bride's wedding dress in this case requires an elegant cut, a loose or fitted silhouette. The fabrics chosen are flowing, light or lace.
A lavender wedding bouquet is perfect for a celebration in Provence style. A light, modest bouquet will emphasize the meekness and tenderness of the bride. This shade can also be used at a rustic event.
Rich lilac, in addition to other bright tones, is suitable for a wedding composition in a hippie or country style; in combination with yellow - for autumn weddings. Dark purple in combination with red, yellow, green shades can be used for unusual and vibrant events, for example, a Hawaiian wedding or gypsy boho.
The most common combination is lilac and white. Dazzling white adds nobility and purity, making the composition aristocratic. These same shades in combination with green can be used at spring weddings. Green brings a feeling of newness and freshness.
Pink in combination with lavender is great for various romantic ceremonies. Classic roses, in addition to other flowers of lilac shades, add chic and elegance to any composition.
Very gentle and touching compositions are made up of different shades of lilac, cream and blue. These tones are well suited for winter and spring wedding events.

Tips for the bride
This beautiful color has its own characteristics. Despite the fact that its tones combine well with each other, it is still quite specific. To ensure that the bride’s image is harmonious and that the wedding bouquet suits the girl perfectly, use some tips.
Flowers of the same tone are not entirely suitable for making a wedding bouquet in this range. Lilac is a cold shade, so a lilac composition will look pale and boring, and a purple composition will look gloomy. Be sure to add companion colors to the main tone: white, blue, yellow, pink and others.
Think in advance about the appropriate wedding makeup that will match the palette of the flower arrangement. If you choose a natural type of makeup, take care of some bright accents. The bride's face should not look too pale against the background of such a composition.
You can decorate a girl’s hair with flowers from a wedding bouquet; this will be an excellent hairstyle option. This will emphasize the tenderness and sensuality of her image.
Some lilac flowers have a rather strong aroma. If the bride is sensitive to smells, this can negatively affect her well-being. This point needs to be thought through in advance.
Classic combination
When composing wedding bouquets, florists are guided primarily by the wishes of their clients. Each of them has their own vision of the ideal composition, but it is often customary to rely on generally accepted standards and templates. The white and purple wedding bouquet belongs to the canons in this category of floral creations. However, this applies specifically to the range of shades, and the filling of the bouquet can be absolutely individual.
To collect a wedding bouquet (white and purple), you need to use several types of flowers. There is no single standard for the ratio and compatibility of shades. Thus, the bouquet may be dominated by purple flowers (cala, iris, lily, orchid, eustoma), and snow-white or cream accents in the form of a delicate rose, peony or the same eustoma will emphasize the liveliness and colorfulness of the basis of the composition. Bouquets that are generally composed of white flowers, most often lush, with small inflorescences - these can be hydrangeas or hyacinths - also look interesting. Their virgin purity needs to be supplemented with a few splashes of discreet purple spots. This can be done with the help of forest violets, a sprig of muscari or forget-me-nots.
Choice of colors
There are a huge variety of different plants, the color palette of which varies from light purple to dark purple. Therefore, the choice of colors for creating a wedding composition in these tones is very diverse.
A wedding bouquet of roses, hydrangeas, and chrysanthemums with lush, voluminous buds looks luxurious. Wedding accessories made from lavender, freesia, cornflowers and other small flowers look very cute and delicate.
When creating a specific composition, keep in mind that not all plants are available at all times of the year. Some can only be obtained during their flowering, for example, field or forest ones. Therefore, when composing a bouquet, take into account the availability of a specific flower during the wedding season.
Most flowers that are grown in greenhouses and brought from abroad can be bought at any time. These include roses, ranunculus, freesia, eustoma, etc. If you have chosen a particular flower, ask your florist if it can be obtained at this time of year.
Most wildflowers are available for bouquets in summer or spring. For example, lavender, cornflowers, clover, basil, etc. In the autumn, you can use gladioli, asters, dahlias, and chrysanthemums.
Compositions with roses
A bride's wedding bouquet made of roses will never lose its relevance. These flowers, having luxurious lush buds, add chic to any composition. The spherical shape of a bouquet made of roses, or a hemisphere, looks very beautiful.

What does purple go with?
Bridal bouquet in purple - how to combine it correctly? Florists say that purple is a difficult shade to perceive. Looking at him for too long is too tiring. Therefore, they advise choosing combinations of two tones. This will smooth out the sharp edges of the rich shade and at the same time leave the brightness of the image.
Ideal combinations are:
- pink;
- red;
- white;
- green;
- lilac;
- lavender;
- purple.
If you want to leave maximum originality and creativity, you can use all shades of purple as color combinations: from darker to lighter. Thus, within one flower arrangement we can get a rather interesting color combination.
If the bride wants to add romance and tenderness to the created image, then she should pay attention to pink and white colors. These are the shades that will perfectly soften the assertiveness of purple and make it more subdued.
In addition to the shade, it is worth paying attention to the variety. There are several options for creating a flower arrangement.
- Make a mono-bouquet - using only one type of plant. Inside the bouquet you can change colors and shapes.
- Combine different varieties. For example, orchids with chrysanthemums look original . A classic combination would be rose and violet. Absolutely any flower will suit lavender. But the same proud and sublime plant requires irises, so pay attention to lilies.
