parisian party

When a couple chooses to have a Paris-theme wedding, it’s typically because, to them, Paris evokes a feeling of romance and charm. It’s important to remember, though, that Paris is also known for it’s tasteful subtlety, and I think that’s the operative in creating a successful Parisian tabletop look. If you’re planning a French or Paris-themed wedding outside of France, I’m sure you’re already aware of the plethora of online resources available to you. A few hours on ebay or Etsy could provide you with enough Frenchy swag to make your guests feel like they’re in a bistro on Boulevard St Germain, OR it could make them feel like they’re on a high-speed TGV headed right into Eiffel Tower-imprinted hell. If you want to bring the Eiffel Tower into your table design, remember this: moins, c’est plus (less is more). Think a clean, white palette with clear or silver accents and white or pale floral arrangements. Add silver-plated Eiffel Tower placecard holders, or small, edible Eiffel Towers as favors, or these cute Cavallini & Co gift tags tied to a more traditional favor- any one of these ideas would convey a fresh, romantic esprit de Paris, but s’il vous plait- not all three!
