We’re excited about this inspiration board because we just love pink so much!

Here are some designs in a multitude of delicious pink shades. From a pink ombre cake with terrific textural appearance to a bouquet in varying pink hues to the perfect pink lip color palette, the more the pink the merrier!

Enjoy, Raya

Pastels aren’t only for Easter. Here’s proof that pastel apparel, accessories and more for the bride can be absolutely lovely. We are particularly pleased by stationery in a myriad of pastels (think “thank you” notes for the ‘maids), sweets in light hues for the bridal party and impeccable nails in a tea green or lavender. Ah, lovely!

Hugs, Raya

Butterflies instantly lift our moods. Perhaps it’s their seemingly carefree nature and their ability to float off to wherever they please, or perhaps it’s the dreamy colors in which they’re so often portrayed.

Since there is no shortage of butterflies cascading alongside cakes, we’re particular smitten by sparkling butterfly jewelry and extras, keepsake favors, and these pretty insects making guest appearances on seating cards and various stationery. Talk about fantasy!

Love, Raya
