How the Lilac Market Floral Headbands are Named


4 minute read

What’s in a floral name, that which we would call a headband would be as cute? (You know we gotta use that high school English Shakespeare somewhere!).

You’ve probably noticed that headbands from our Floral Collection aren’t just your standard varieties. They have a unique personality, both in look and in name.

But how do these blooms gain their titles? It’s actually a tradition started by the owner herself.

Naming headbands based simply on the colors in the print was just plain boring. So instead, Kelsey made it a point to give every floral print the name of a family member, friend or someone special in her life. Anyone that played an integral role in the foundation of Lilac Market has a floral. Of course, that included first employee Tessa, who fell in love with a small, white-flowered print that has since become a top seller.

Once custom prints were started, it was finally time to create The Kim Floral. Named after Kelsey’s own late mother, who inspired the naming of Lilac Market Headbands, Kim’s favorite flowers were lilacs. With perfect notes of purple and lilac, this is one of the few floral design that is available all year round.

Since that time, when new floral fabric arrives at Lilac Market headquarters, every new employee gets a chance to choose which one they like best to add their precious names to. Turns out, their choices are a pretty good reflection of their own individual personalities. Maybe one of them is calling your name?

THE TESSA

One of our most popular prints of all time, Tessa is one to start running barefoot on cloudy days at the word “go”. Sweetly caring with a sharp imagination, her smile brings warmth like the summer sun everywhere she goes.

THE EVELYN

A big personality in a little package, Evelyn knows an adventure could look like hiking a mountain or playing a game; as long as she’s with friends, that’s just fine with her. No matter what, she’s the first person you think of when you need a partner in crime.

THE HANNAH

A friend til the end, Hannah brings energy and joy to anything she touches. She keeps her cool when you meet over a cup of coffee to tell her about your worst day, and cheers along with you when you succeed. Ever the optimist, she's a positive force to be reckoned with.

THE MACY

Reserved but always fearless, Macy is the unexpected surprise that delights when you see her. With an eye for all things unique that others may not see, you can trust that her vision will guide you in the right direction.

THE AUBREY

An encouraging word that always comes from the heart, Aubrey exudes kindness and friendliness that draws you in. But don’t let her fun streak fool you - her listening ear is always available when you need it most.

THE KELSEY

Of course, we couldn’t make this list without talking about our fearless leader, Kelsey. Patient to find just the right way, she’s reliable as she is dedicated to living life to the fullest potential. Her gift of helping others brings her the most joy, and she’s always up for a new experience with those she loves, work or play.

Each floral represents a vital character in the success of Lilac Market Headbands. As new flowers are planted with changing seasons, our cherished little garden becomes even brighter and more lush than ever. So the next time you wear your favorite Lilac Market Floral, you will know there is an extra special meaning behind that simple headband.
