Fiesta Friday/Color Wedding – Fields of Lavender

I’m already looking forward to spring; the new buds on the trees, the sun peeking out the clouds, the birds eating the dog’s food and driving him crazy.

Shades of purple make the decor perfect for your next spring event. Keep within 3 shades though, you don’t want guests to think of Barney and start singing that cursed song.

How can you not be in love with this Mardi-Gras themed cake from Pink Cakebox? A fab holiday setting from Epicurious. Paper lanterns float above a wedding. A purple fondant flower tops this cupcake. Beautiful and delicate die cut butterflies grace a pastel lavender background on this invitation. Wrap amaretto cookies in contrasting squares of tissue paper, twist ends, place a strip of cotton lace trim on top, and then tie the ends off with colored twine. Centerpieces in rectangular wooden containers covered in burlap and a ribbon sash and filled with manzanita branches, golden centre tail feathers, hydrangeas, and sweet pea. Crottin cakes in the shape of French goat cheeses are stacked on a wooden stand to mimic a tiered cake. A sumptuous tablesetting when darker colors reign and lighter ones are accents.
