A Sorbet-Hued Affair
The gorgeous pastel tones from the Spring 2012 runways have hit the stores, and though the weather hasn’t quite caught up, New York City is already awash in shades of peach, pink, mint and the mellowest of yellow.
I’m completely in love with the trend, and while I am already fast at work styling a pastel-inspired engagement session for a Merci New York client, I can’t help but wonder what would happen if we took this palette a step further… and curated an entire wedding around the sorbet-chic tones of the Louis Vuitton Spring 2012 runway?
Luckily, that’s why Revel is so wonderful… Not only can we imagine the fabulously fun outcome (below) but we can indulgently shop these finds right here. Happy shopping!

Mint Geometric Cake
I love how this cake captures the look perfectly, down to the mid-century geometric details and glam, center “jewel” that almost resembles a lady-like brooch. Image: Erica O'Brien Cake Design
Vintage Parasols
Stylist’s tip: Pretty parasols, (like these sorbet toned vintage lace ones from Layla Grace) are perfect wedding props. Luckily, they are also a literal translation of the Louis Vuitton Spring 2012 runway! For an outdoor wedding, have a tin of parasols ready pre-ceremony to help shade the sun, and use them as a fun photobooth prop as well!
