Vintage Lilac Elegant Spring Paper Plate

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.
