duck egg blue & chocolate



TOP TABLE TIP 1
For a simply stunning Easter table pick a palette of two colours that just by themselves are good together and easy on the eye. In fact any pastel colour looks great with chocolate brown: antique rose, lovely lavender and sage or baby yellow. Try looking at our ribbon catalogue for good colour combination inspiration.



TOP TABLE TIP 2
Incorporate food into your centrepiece, here the dessert was on the table in the form of a yummy Black Forest Cake and Marshmallow and Chocolate Hot Cross Buns displayed on our Rosanna Inc Le Gateaux cakestands (available for hire) and decorated with our Petersham Ribbon.



TOP TABLE TIP 3
For Easter extravagant accessories are not required: here we used a few twig nests and some plastic robin egg blue eggs - this "nested egg" theme was inspired by the paper napkins that we had in stock. In fact often we have bought paper napkins and based our entire theme around them like our Bright & Beautiful article in Issue 16. For the widest range of paper napkins in Gauteng try Flowerspot, in Woodmead they literally have hundreds and hundreds.



TOP TABLE TIP 4
For favours I gave each guest a little fabric Maileg Decorations in blue fabrics: mushrooms, pigs and flowers. These were in fact Christmas decorations - so remember to keep your eyes peeled at Christmas sales for goodies that you can actually use all year round. Or place a chocolate Easter egg in an egg cup with a bit of grass and some ribbon.
