For this project, I imagined a wild, textured, musky bouquet that you could sink your nose into. I used five varieties of lilac. My favorite (top left) is Korean Lilac (a similar variety is called "Tinkerbelle"). I recommend asking your florist or market for it. The flowers are tiny and the fragrance is super sweet. I can't get enough of them. See full DIY over at Project Wedding.
Absolutely gorgeous, Chelsea, and that last photo is itself stunning to boot. If I could do my wedding over (and I wish I could) this would be my bouquet. Amazing.
Lilacs are intoxicating….There is a huge one in my neighborhood and it smells so wonderful right now…
i’m pretty sure lilacs are my favorite smell in the world. mine are just about to bloom, can’t wait! this is a beautiful bouquet 🙂
love this!!! the bouquet is beyond gorgeous!
really gorgeous bouquet. love it!
simply beautiful!
I’d never heard of Korean lilac. It sounds lovely.
Beautiful.
love fragrant lilacs. so pretty!
Gorgeous, Chelsea! I can almost smell the lilac now… 🙂
Another absolutely beautiful project…I love it! If I had a smidge of a bigger yard, I’d love a lilac bush. I may need to try to make one work!
This bouquet is so beautiful!–you are such a talented lady, what do you NOT do?? 🙂
All the best to you, Tricia xo
Oh. My. That is just gorgeous! Lilacs are one of my favourites… great wedding inspiration too.
i think this might be my all-time favorite. it’s absolutely gorgeous, chelsea.
So lovely! I can’t wait until the lilacs around here start blooming.
I love this idea. For my wedding bouquet, my mom and I popped into a flower shop the morning of, grabbed some pretty blossoms (white stock), and wrapped a ribbon around them. The woman working there looked at us like we had two heads. 🙂 I still love my bouquet.
So, so pretty!
