Selecting our color palette has been an evolutionary process. I’ve really wanted to use shades of green (Mr. Spaniel’s favorite color!), and I think I have finally figured out what I mean by that.

I think I’m going with mostly black and white/ivory (damask? paisley?), with flowers and accents in shades of green.

I’ve been really drawn to these bridesmaids’ dresses since I first saw them. I have five girls, who are all different shapes and sizes, and I want to give them options that each will be comfortable in, but that still go well together. I like the tea length, I like the lace. I am not sure about the white/ivory underlay; I might go with black on black.

See? Green flowers. Hot? Hot. And I love the idea of pale greens to golds for an early spring wedding.

I’d definitely like to do a white (or ivory!) cake, with black paisley (or some other interesting pattern). I think I’d like the tiers to be square, though. One thing Mr. Spaniel and I have agreed on: at least one tier (the one we are eating from!) has to be marble cake with chocolate filling. I think if there is more than one flavor, the other should be fruity, don’t you?

Are you choosing different flavors for your cake tiers? Do they complement each other in any way? Did you even consider complementary flavors, or did you just pick your two favorites?
