Ooh La La Love!

Wow, ladies and gents, this is my last collage for the Behind the Veil competition. It's been a long journey, full of good times and stress (like life's supposed to be). But I have had a wonderful time, learned so much, and I'm getting really excited for the big Battle of the Betrothed weekend coming up fast (Feb. 6-8!!).

So for our last wedding theme, may I present, Paris!

*Insert iconic Parisian accordion music HERE*.

For our fair city wedding, a collage of the flavors and airs of Paris. Incredible fashion, simplistic gourmand food, sweeping architecture, back door cafe style, and...ooh la la...the Eiffel Tower.

So here's a few things to know when planning your own Parisian wedding. First, you'll find lots of cute stuff featuring the Eiffel Tower. Sweet. There's a lot of styles you can choose with a Paris themed wedding. Some cute ideas: turn of the century Paris - this theme touches into the early days of film making, with the yellowy photographs, and the iconic black and white striped shirts can easily be used (even though it's a Beatnik thing). You can go glamor and gallery - using the romantic architecture and couture fashion as your method. Or, you can go what I call "gentle Paris" - think cafes, strolls along the Pont de l'Archevêché, sitting in the park, and window shopping. Very cute things can be incorporated into this idea - like a backyard reception, waiters in those stripy shirts, cute little ceramic "Hotel de Paris" jars in the bathrooms, painted wood signs, and a nice mix of fancy gowns and wood folding chairs.

And so, ladies and gents, I present to you, my own version of "gentle Paris" - Ooh La La Love!
