Oh So Beautiful Paper

As a former French language student, I have a not-so-hidden love for all things French – from food to fashion to art – and of course the City of Lights, Paris!  And it looks like I’m not alone, as Nichole from Coral Pheasant sent over this stunning invitation suite that she recently created for a collaborative event, all inspired by Parisian details.

From Nichole: I wanted to share with you an invitation suite inspired by Paris, the city of light and love.  Ladurée, the historic Parisian tea salon, and the tulle and tutus of the French ballet were our muses.  The colors of blush, gold and the signature Ladurée green were woven throughout the stationery suite.

Golden cording and pale pink silk ribbon, reminiscent of ballerina slippers, wrap around a trifold invitation, introducing texture and further adding to the sense of grandeur.  The blush invitation unfolds to reveal a french love quote and the ceremony details. Shimmer gold outer envelopes are lined with a delicate green and gold leaf patterned rice paper.

The design of the stationery suite was carried over to paper elements used on the tables and dessert display.  Cut corner menus are backed with ruched tulle, banner-shaped place cards are anchored by macarons and Sucre pennants adorn rock candy.

Absolutely gorgeous!  Thank you so much Nichole!
