Cat & Sam’s Fairytale Lilac Wedding

Selecting your wedding color combinations will really set the tone for your big day. You want something sophisticated, that will also compliment the rest of your decor and bridal wardrobe. We all seek something uniquely personal, that will bring everything together seamlessly. And though traditional pastel tones and on-trend terracotta seem to be a hit, there are so many wedding color combination ideas that are overlooked and just as stunning. If you want a big day that is both elegant and bold, then lilac will be your go-to shade. The color will truly set your heart racing, pretty much like the first time you met your special someone, right? Why Choose Lilac Why lilac? It’s classic yet modern. The romantic color will blend in beautifully with any theme you have planned for the special occasion. There is something so magical and whimsical about lilac… It just brings an extra bit of spark to any occasion! Darker shades of purple represent power and luxury. Popular color combinations are lilac with gold, light grey deep purple or yellow. Not only is lilac aesthetically-pleasing, but there is also a special meaning to the color. Generally, lilac represents generosity, youthfulness and spirituality. The color apparently is a sign of good luck. But if you have chosen the color for your wedding, it is also a symbol of both love and new beginnings. The key with such a unique shade is to balance it out. We’re not talking purple everything – even your politest guests may struggle to stomach full-on lilac! Our motto – let it breathe to be fully appreciated by not only your guests but also yourselves on your big day! Lilac can be classy, mature and versatile. It compliments all skin tones and has so many possible color combinations. Need more proof?
