Modern Lilac Wedding Ideas
At the start of every wedding season, every supplier is craving to create, see more colour and to give couples planning the reminder, do you.
For us we wanted Spring desperately, we wanted fun pops of colour and became obsessed with the shades of lilac. I swear it had nothing to do with Taylor Swift’s ‘Lavender Haze’ trending on social media.
When we think of Spring colour, often we’ll think of fresh soft pastels. We wanted to play to this, it was a Spring styled shoot after all. But we wanted to add our own creative twist, adding some fun modern vibrant colours.
From the beautifully bright bouquet by Forever Green Blooms, which against the lilac suit really adds a bold look. The touches of oranges against the lilac such a dreamy colour palette, fun, fresh and new.
While we’re on the topic of bold looks, the lilac suit is insanely cool. Again, playing with the pastel colours, but giving a modern look. I adore a coloured suit for a bride or groom and think it really gives the wow factor.
We wanted to shoot at Plas Dinam Country House because of how light the stables are. There is so much natural light pouring in and with such a neutral background, it allowed the colours from the table and flowers to really pop.
It’s the perfect backdrop for any wedding. The industrial feel to the stables also gave a juxtaposition to the overall soft and romantic style of the shoot.
The table set up designed by Claire from Oh So Curious shows off all her incredible offerings.
There is nothing ordinary about this set up. From gorgeous cutlery to the glassware to the menu and place names (designed by Oh So Curious too!). The whole shoot was about an elegant, soft Spring look with injects of bold colours and styling.
Rebecca Forshaw, our hair and makeup artist created a natural look on our model Holly, to really work with the colour scheme. The hair do is soft and works so well with both the lilac suit and the different dresses by Willow in White.
While we could’ve used so much more of the venue (there really is so much to offer at Plas Dinam House) we wanted to create within the stables. Michelle from Michelle Huggleston Photography really wanted to compliment the colours and styling by using as much natural light as possible. We also wanted to use the flower installation in as many ways as we could.
The flower installation is something else. It can be used in so many ways, in the ceremony, as a backdrop for a top table and it’s perfect for portraits for photos too. Tina from Forever Green Blooms really blew us all away, adding bits of fabric to this installation and really thinking creatively outside the box.
Wow wee! What incredible inspiration.
