macaroons
Bonnard Bakery via Anagrama
To be honest, when I first saw these I thought it was for a cosmetic company. After I read further though, I learned it was for Bonnard- a Mexican french-inspired tea and confectionery shop. (Not surprisingly, it was designed to look like a luxurious high fashion brand. Think they achieved that!) Created by Anagrama and based on Pierre Bonnard's post-impressionist paintings, it's not just the macaroons that look like little pieces of art.
It's rainy here in Atlanta, so instead of the bright "lemonade-ish" one I had planned for today, I thought I'd do a board with darker, richer colors (Did I mention that I'm also really looking forward to fall?) I designed this one as inspiration for a party, but it easily could be turned into a wedding. On that note, keep in mind that everything does not have to match perfectly. Not only is it sometimes overkill, but there is no better way to get a migraine than stressing over whether or not the green ribbon perfectly matches the green dresses, and if those match the green ink on the escort cards etc. etc. Instead just make sure everything flows together and has the same feel. Just like decorating- the mixing and matching of textures, patterns, etc almost always is more beautiful than having everything identical.
