For these recent bridal shower cookie favors, I revamped my "Bonne Amie" inspired bridal shower cookies with the bride Candi's color scheme -- shades of pink and purple. The shower was in Napa so I tried to pick up vino like shades of pink and purple (rosé pinks and burgundy purples) and I used a french grey (almost khaki-like) as another neutral color to tie it all together. I wanted the whole set to be fresh and fun as well as natural and sophisticated. I liked being able to recolor a previous cookie set with a different color scheme, with some minor design tweaks.
I was also excited to use a new color that I've added to my paper tags -- "Sandstone". Cole designed, printed, cut, scored, and folded the tags. PS - He always does this for me. I don't think I emphasize that enough here. How much Cole does. He says "no, you designed the tags" but really I just explain the look or idea of what I am going for (sometimes very vaguely, sometimes with a sketch) and he makes it a [better] reality. It's kind of amazing actually, how he helps me execute ideas in my head with actual plans and vectors and mastery exacto knife skills.
Did I mention he takes all these great photos too? I'm very lucky. I think I owe him a vat of chocolate chip cookie dough.
