For the decor, the idea was french: a little bourgeoise and a touch modern. We were lucky enough to collaborate with Sofia Crokos, uber-talented event planner and designer. We lined our tabletop with a runner made of vintage french wallpaper and called upon Emily from Chestnut in the Tuileries to create these gorgeous soft florals in mixed vessels. The stationary was designed by Christine Traulich from Red Bliss, check out the gorgeous menus in the bottom photo, they were lined with a beautiful french paper on the back (very fancy : )
We’ll be posting more recipes and photos this week and next, so check back in soon !
