A delectable spread of sweet bites and a rosé sipper complements the scene set for lingering conversation.

BRILLIANT DETAILS
A fuchsia table runner makes way for purple glass goblets and heirloom coupe glasses. Mix and match serving pieces to add to the elegance. Bud vases filled with bold roses further the beauty of lavender hydrangeas, lilacs, and more roses overflowing from a silver urn.
A CAST OF CONFECTIONS
A luscious chocolate layer cake with a bourbon pecan pie filling takes center stage amid individual treats. Almond-sprinkled brownies are richer from the generous addition of Irish cream liqueur. Drizzle them with chocolate ganache for a tasty flourish.
BUBBLES AND BITES
As a accompaniment to the sugary spread, serve a blush-pink libation that’s sure to please gathered guests. A dreamy mousse is laced with notes of maple; coconut-crusted cheesecake bars marbled with raspberry jam and bite-size caramel macarons round out the ensemble.
