Last week i was lucky enough to spend time with my family in a villa in southern france. The weather was glorious, the villa was pure rustic french charm and the garden an absolute joy. It was like a week in paradise and one of my first thoughts when i saw the place was "This would be a magical place to get married!"
One of the loveliest parts of the garden was the paths lined with lavender bushes. The buzz of insects, the sweet smell and the beautiful purple hue was quite transfixing. I have always loved lavender and its relaxing aroma. So calming, it evokes such a traditional sense of the countryside and the simple joys of the natural world around us.
I think the colour of lavender, especially the grey/lavender hue is beautiful for a wedding. It is very classy and sophisticated and calm. It works best against a simple dress design and wedding theme. A bunch of lavender tied with a pretty bow is so simplistic and traditional and works as a beautiful bouquet for bridesmaids, and can be displayed in so many ways throughout the wedding day.

I love these wreaths in different shapes, with ribbon, string or rafia to tie.
If you want to take the lavender theme even further then this cake is definitely one way of carrying it through!
