Roses are Red, Violets are Blue

We will buy very pretty things

A-walking through the faubourgs

Violets are blue, roses are red

Violets are blue, I love my loves.

― Les Miserables, Fantine, Book Seven, Chapter Six

Sweet Violet Bride

The sun setting on a gorgeous lavender field +

Purple Sunset on Etsy and Artfire

A non-traditional wedding gown, heartstopping nonetheless +

Always a fan of letterpress printing, I swooned over these gilded elegant invitations at Oh So Beautiful Paper

Finally ending off with this charming quote:

"The splendor of the rose and the whiteness of the lily

do not rob the little violet of it's scent nor the daisy of its simple charm.

If every tiny flower wanted to be a rose, spring would lose its loveliness."

― Therese de Lisieux
