"Let the ressurection joy lift us from loneliness and weakness and despair to strength and beauty and happiness" - Floyd W. Tomkins
For the last few weeks, I was reflecting on the true meaning of Easter. For some, it is the time when the store shelves are stocked with chocolate eggs; for other it is the time to go on a trip during the long weekend holiday. For me, it means more than chocolate and holiday. It simply comes back to where it all started. As the quote above from Floyd W. Tomkins, Easter is a time of exchange; weakness to strength, despair to happiness. It is a time of celebration, because we are liberated from everything that holds us back. Hence, I decided to have a "feaster" this Easter simply because I want to share life as someone has shared and exchanged his life for me.
This time around, together with my best friend, we are hosting an Easter lunch. We are gathering our family and closest friends to celebrate Easter together. Then it time to get busy with cooking and styling the feast.
The colour theme was teal and yellow, inspired by this gorgeous fabric that I found recently. Our designer created an invitation to match the fabric. Then I used the fabric as the front cover of the invitation. Invite name card was attached to white satin ribbon belt.

The menu card matched to the invitation. We created a chocolate egg nest around a planted pot, and the menu card was placed in the middle of the plant. Big flower and lace around the pot added sweet touch.
We filled muffin cups with chocolate eggs and put the place cad on top for guest to take home. The chocolate bunny was so cute sitting nicely on top a beautiful cake stand.
And the foooddd... we have so many food and it was a truly great Feaster.. Everyone got excited when the entree was served, so it was a good start... Main was served, followed by dessert... Everyone full, everybody happy... Of course, more cocholate to devour...
