In the words of Marie Antoinette, “Let them eat cake”! I’ve teamed up with Michael Aram for a fun Marie Antoinette themed post in celebration of April's Botanical Leaf Month.
I received a Botanical Leaf Cake Stand, Cake Knife and 2 Botanical Leaf Tidbit Plates along with desserts from Keremo Cakes. Of course adding champagne to the mix seemed like a natural choice for this Marie Antoinette themed photo shoot.
The Michael Aram Botanical Leaf Collection takes its inspiration from the intricacies of form and texture found in particular types of foliage. Reminiscent of eucalyptus and seagrape, the structure celebrates the twisting branches as much as it does the leaves themselves.
According to Michael Aram, “The image of leaves and branches is eternal and has some kind of meaning for almost everyone. For me, the motif conjures a sense of freshness and fragility while the materials and craftsmanship speak of something more robust, more human.”
Symbolism: A single leaf symbolizes happiness. A multitude of leaves symbolizes growth.
This April, Michael Aram is offering a Botanical Leaf Catchall with a purchase of $150 or more to celebrate Botanical Leaf Month.
