tulips?

also, check FeliciaDA's review and photos; I'm pretty sure she had a lavender bouquet.

There are some hydrangeas in the lilac family. Also I believe there are orchids with a light purple tint. I used ones with a pink tint, but I feel like I saw purple somewhere....babybride

Re: Need suggestions for a lilac colored flower besides a rose...

when trying to come up with flowers for my color scheme , there aren't very many flowers that are naturally purple, lavendar or lilac. lavendar roses are popular, its hard to find others.

my girls bo-ks have lavender freesia mixed in (they wore pale lavender)

FeliciaDA

My bo-k consisted of purple flowers such as lisianthus and sweet pea (offset with stephanotis)

My BM Bo-K had lilac flowers in it, but I can seem to find my contract to see what they were. Here is a picture.

Re: Need suggestions for a lilac colored flower besides a rose...

Thanks everyone! I think I like the orchids..if i could find a orchid with a lilac tint that would be great. I will have to go and buy that magazine also! Does anyone know if they sell actual books like maybe at Borders or something that just have pictures of different flowers used for bouquets??
