Artificial Light Purple Lilac Spray With Leaves

A lilac spray in the kind of washed, blue-toned lavender you get from garden varieties that have been open for a few days — pale at the edges of each petal, deeper and more violet toward the centre, with enough variation across the head that it reads as a living flower rather than a single flat colour.Tight clusters of purple buds sit among the open petals, which is what gives real lilac that layered, gradually-opening look. The broad green leaves below the head are the shape and size you'd expect from a mature lilac bush, and the dark, woody stem finishes cleanly.Group a bunch in a tall vase and they'll fan into a generous spring display. The cool palette also pairs well with white flowers and soft greenery, where it adds colour without competing.
