The story of Marie Antoinette embodies decadence, scandal, luxury, and intrigue… the perfect inspiration for our French-inspired summer fete. Think flirty pinks, tons of sweets, and flowing bubbly… after all, any good hostess knows that “let them eat cake” is a surefire way to get the party started.
Vintage cupcakes & pink champagne… a little bit regal, a little bit rock ‘n roll.
Feminine invitations give guests a hint of the drama to come.
A drive lined with flowering trees sets the most romantic tone to the festivities ahead.
Nothing says “Parisian indulgence,” like a tower of pink macaroons.
Flowers in shades of bubblegum & raspberry are feminine toppers to gift boxes & cupcakes.
Tiers of tissue pom-poms provide a romantic canopy to a table adorned in flirty pink linens.

I quite like the idea of the tissue pom-poms…fabulous!
What type of flowering trees are lining the driveway?
That’s a good question… aren’t they gorgeous? I THINK they’re crepe myrtles… anyone?
Crepe Myrtles are correct. Beautiful!
