A beautiful, ethereal dessert table
The table was created for a mom and her two adorable daughters to enjoy.
As told by Juli:
The dessert table was set up on a vintage chest of drawers, and featured all vintage glass serving pieces. All the dessert items were kept as subtle as possible to enhance the neutrality of the setting. The weather here in Melbourne was perfect - sunny and breezy (very unusual for this time of year!)... key dessert items were vanilla cupcakes with buttercream and sugarpaste ruffled flowers, lemon jammy smooch cookies, chocolate brownies, eskimo mallows and natural meringues.
A mix of pretty and romantic flowers were created by The Bouquets of Ascha Jolie, using pink David Austin roses, Snow Berries, succelents, Dahlias, daisies and Gypsophlia. Small bunches were placed in vintage glass vessels, with a large statement arrangement of Gyp placed atop an aged urn.

Shabby Chic Guest Feature
We have a few shabby chic guest features to share with you this week. Since the colors commonly found in shabby chic displays are muted, we think they work wonderfully for spring and Easter occasions. First up is Heather of Heather Equitz Designs. Heather’s mother collects pre-war lace and she incorporated some of the lace on the table. Heather made a beautiful runner out of a pair of drapes she found at Big Lots for $5! Desserts included roasted cashew brittle with vanilla salt, mini apple hand pies with caramel sauce, and cookie sandwiches. Not too shabby, Heather. We love it!
