By now, you might have figured out my love for lilacs.  They were the main flower of my bouquet in my wedding last year, and also featured prominently in our centerpieces:

This past weekend my husband and I took a trip down to Mount Vernon, where the lilacs were in full bloom and just absolutely resplendent.  And while I love the lilac + sweet pea combination that I chose for my wedding, I also love this lilac + anemone bouquet from Artfool in the latest issue of Martha Stewart Weddings:

While the lilacs are blooming down at Mount Vernon, they haven’t yet made their way to our local farmer’s market (where I collect my flowers for the week), so this week I had to content myself with a small bouquet of red and purple anemones.  But hopefully I’ll see lilacs next week.  I can’t wait!
