Decorating in Hues of Lavender
The real Lavender color is a dark violet-pink shade and you are likely to overdo it if you choose only that color. It would a great idea to use different shades of violet for a Lavender inspired wedding. From the darkest violet to the light purple you see in Lavender-based products, choose your palette for decorating the reception venue.
Keep table linen like runners and chair sashes a lighter shade of purple and add hints of dark Lavender color using ribbons.
For that magical aroma of Lavender that will invigorate your senses, add the real thing. Use Lavender to create easy centerpieces and add a twig to each place setting.
You can mix Lavender with other flowers to create centerpieces but it also looks lovely on its own in its minimal look. Here, a bunch of Lavender stems stands in a galvanized planter powder coated in purple paint.
