Hunt Slonem and his iconic bunnies are always a delightful way to enhance a home and a party! I also love the butterflies that Hunt so vividly paints in multi colors- and the butterflies share the spotlight in this dessert table designed for his Hop Up Shop. Hunt’s Hop Up Shop takes his artwork and incorporates its beauty into everyday life in your home. I am honored to design with them and invite you to join this party, too! P.S. I have a gift code for you at the bottom of the post!

Depending on the size of your party, you can set up the dessert table in two different ways. If you are hosting a small group, include the desserts as part of the table decorations…

This table has a bold use of color to mimic Hunt’s bold use of color in his paintings and homeware. Notice the beautiful butterfly plates stacked on top of the bright bunny placemat. I topped it off with an antique tea cup and saucer to use with dessert. I think the way that the colors, patterns, and mix of new and old pieces flow together adds interest and charm to the party.

I am never afraid to mix patterns and different pieces. The trick is to have a common thread that weaves it all together. Here you will note that the deep pinks play nicely with the pastel colors and give the table a consistency that ties it together. A variety of colorful flowers is another way to keep the table cohesive.

The black and white butterfly plate looks sophisticated and gorgeous on the butterfly placemat. The tiny cup of flowers on top brings in a delicate touch of garden whimsy.

Did you notice the double old-fashioned glasses at the place settings? They have gold bunnies painted on them- and I added a straw with an edible wafer paper butterfly.

I paired it with a Hop Up Shop bunny cocktail napkin for the perfect look…

And incorporated butterflies and flowers in vintage and antique accessories…

The Hop Up Shop napkins also fit seamlessly into the mix of the table- they add another sophisticated nod to balance the whimsy~

And the bunny napkin works perfectly with the bunny bowl full of flowers!

It is always better in person and so I hope you will visit and order your favorites from Hunt Slonem’s Hop Up Shop.
