Party planning: Paris, je t’aime
Wednesday, August 28, 2013
Paris, France has always been on my list of dream travels, and I have no doubt that one day it’ll happen!Β And if by chance, you ever happen to be throwing a party in Paris or would like to mimic a Parisian theme, then something sweet and romantic (yet fun) would be perfect (think macarons, vintage silverware, rooftops, and vespas)!Β I love the idea of using a sophisticated color palette of black, champagne, and taupe and then livening things up with pops of fuschia or magenta color (like the flower bouquet below).
above board, l to r . rooftop . silverware . Eiffel tower . macarons . girl . macarons . vespa . blackberries

I know, I feel like I need to go soon while I’m living in New York because the flight isn’t nearly as bad! I hope you get to visit one day soon, Juni!
