…and eat it, too! Wayne Thiebaud’s painting of cake inspired today’s wedding board – I love his paintings of cake. In my high school art class, when we talked about Thiebaud, we talked about non-local color, so I pulled the barely-there blue out of the plates in that painting, and made that a key element in this palette. I also couldn’t ignore that sweet little strawberry on top of the cake, so I suppose if this wedding had a motif it would be strawberries. And ruffles.
Mood: flirty, sweet, fun
Palette: strawberry red, buttercream white, faded blue

PS – Totally unrelated to this post, but for anyone planning on going to WPPI this year, you have to check out the Airhorns and Lasers party. There will be some great hosts and sponsors (including The Flash Dance, Max Wanger, and a bunch of other fabulous folks), and I would so be there if I could.
