There's something magical about blending colors together to create a soft and romantic effect. This violet colored ombre cake by
Maggie Austin Cake is simply dreamy.

Definitely wear this
Versace ombre gown while serving that cake ;)

Arrange floral centerpieces in graduating tones like in this stunning arrangement by
Martha Stewart Weddings and this cake by
Cake Couquette, with tones growing darker in a sweet progression.

This dramatic floral cake by
Superfine Bakery has a different color tone on each of its layers- sooo pretty and garden-like!

Love this look by
Pottery Barn (via
SMP). Use separate vases for each color and arrange them in ascending gradient order.

Using ombre in your party design and home decor makes a sophisticated statement and radiates good taste.
