I love Easter! What’s not to love? Fresh spring air, soft feminine colours, copious amounts of chocolate! For me, Easter preparations usually start as soon as my Christmas tree comes down and this year was no exception. Here’s a little insight into how my Easter came together.
Early on in the design process I became obsessed with the idea of having bunny napkins. I searched through fabric stores for weeks trying to find just the right print but everything was quite juvenile. Then one evening while out shopping I happened upon some tea towels that had the right vibe so I enlisted the help of my co-worker to cut them up and make me some napkins.
Now that I had the bunny element crossed off my list, it was time to move on to another fabulous part of the tablescape – flowers. I left it to Candice at Wild Orchid to surprise me with the arrangements, giving her only the size of the table, linen samples and the word “garden” to go on. I was thrilled with the result! Colourful, lush centerpieces that created a stunning floral runner for my table. At the end of the dinner I sent these arrangements home with my guests.
As a special Easter treat I decided to forgo the classic chocolate bunny and opt for chocolate and salted caramel macarons from Duchess Bake Shop. I give myself extra points for presentation having placed them in glass cloches from Edmonton Wedding & Party Centre.
