Sweet Palette

As I wrote this post, my little exclaimed, "Those are macarons! Those are my favorite. I love the yellow ones!" So, I know I'm not alone in my adoration of these little beauties. I found this pic on The Sweetest Occasion, and I love the idea of using macarons to inspire your party's color palette. All of these various hues look beautiful together, and they'd make for a lively, vibrant feminine bash.

Inexpensive supermarket flowers would be available in these great colors, so decorating within the palette would be a cinch. A little too girly for you? What about a palette inspired by the cream and various chocolate layers of tiramisu?

Sweet Inspiration

Sometimes, I encounter an event that calls for an unexpected color palette. I love mixing and matching unconventional colors, but it can be difficult to find coordinating candies and sweets. This shoot gave me particular trouble. Finding foods that worked with the color palette without creating a gloomy, forlorn feeling was tough.

Anyway, those struggles are exactly why I'm so enthralled with Somewhere Splendid's dessert and candy-based color palettes. This pink, yellow, and white palette has lots of coordinating candies.

Instead of starting with a random palette and then finding desserts to coordinate, these boards help you to visualize exactly the types of treats that go along with your party's theme. Turquoise, bright green, and white also make a lovely combo.

Art Imitates Life(savers)

 

 

Rockmade artists, Rebecca Odes and Craig Kanarick, work in the sweetest medium. Forget oils and pastels, these artists use candy to make limited edition prints.

Looking at each monochromatic print can help you come up with untraditional candies to fit your event's color scheme.
