From centerpieces to confections, one of the biggest trends sweeping spring events is ombre, the slow gradation of one shade to another. Washington, D.C.-based Maggie Austin Cake (202-448-2920; maggieaustincake.com) does a beautiful lavender version with her Ombre Frill cake, while San Francisco-based floral designer Studio Choo (415-624-5981; studiochoo.com) arranges strawflowers by color for a low-key yet vibrant tablescape.
