Whether you're hosting a spring tea, bridal luncheon, or Mother's Day
celebration, this lilac-themed paper plate brings vintage charm and floral
grace to your table. Available in dessert, dinner, and bowl sizes
The Story Behind the Design
This isn’t just a printed plate it’s a handcrafted visual experience. The
vintage lilac flowers began as original watercolor illustrations, each
one carefully cut out and arranged into a bouquet. The final composition was compressed
to resemble a photograph, giving the plate a lifelike depth and softness. A
lavender border was added to echo the lilac tones, and a delicate gold
filigree illustration frames the design, lending a timeless, heirloom feel.
