Lilac is like demure lavender&#8217;s chic, cosmopolitan cousin. Which is probably why we love this shade so much for 2011 &amp; 2012 weddings.

We also love how lilac lends itself both to contemporary and vintage-style weddings with equal elegance. Plus just the word lilac makes us think of the spring bloom&#8217;s infinitely alluring scent.
