And, if you decide on this stunning soft violet color for your day we also highly encourage you to incorporate lilac flowers. Because, lilacs are not only gorgeous but are also fragrant, edible, and medicinal. In addition, lilacs symbolize love. So lilacs are absolutely perfect for a day celebrating that very subject!

“The spring is fresh and fearless
And every leaf is new,
The world is brimmed with moonlight,
The lilac brimmed with dew.

Here in the moving shadows
I catch my breath and sing –
My heart is fresh and fearless
And over-brimmed with spring.”
