I recently helped co-host a bridal shower for my sweet little cousin that is getting married. I was charged with the games and dessert... my two favorite things! When I talked to her about what she wanted she said that her wedding colors where lavender and light purple, and she also mentioned that she loved butterflies. I love having specifics to focus on and with those being the key things my mind went to work and this is what I came up with...
I tried to keep it light and simple. I wanted white to be the main background because it is a bridal shower and have the purples be the accents. I hung purple rosettes with white butterflies for the backdrop. For the accent decor I spray painted long tree branches white, glued on butterfly cutouts, and put them in tall glass vases with some purple fabric at the bottom.
The 3 tier cake was the main focal point on the table. For the refreshments we served cupcakes in champagne glasses, marshmallow pops, donut pops, and blueberry parfaits in champagne flutes. I also put together little bags of 'Butterfly Kisses' as thank-you favors for guests to take home.
Donut holes dipped in white chocolate, because I was to lazy to make cake pops! I also glued mini butterflies to the sticks to give them some color.
I put sprinkles in the bottoms of the champagne glasses (from the dollar store) to give them a bit of color, then placed inside the cupcake topped with a cute little butterfly. They turned out so cute, I think these were my favorite part of the desserts and a fun way to display the cupcakes!
The marshmallow pops were dipped in purple chocolate and then rolled in a fun little mixture of sprinkles and sugar pearls that I love to do. The same mixture is also topped on the cupcakes :)
Vanilla yogurt with blueberries in champagne flutes (also from the dollar store) with butterfly place cards from CraftCut.
I purchased most of the butterfly cutouts for the decorations from Things by JuJu on etsy.
The adorable favor tags were from The Paper Goblin.
