You may remember that a few weeks ago my husband, KC, went to Paris to do a wedding photo shoot for our mutual client, Nanie and Clifton. I can't wait to share with you a few of their images but first, I have to show you this inspiring window of the famous store, Laduree.

Before KC left NYC, I emailed him this quick note to remind him to go by the famous Parisian tea salon. Like the sweet husband he is, KC went by and took a few images for me. I love you, KC!!

Since 1862, the Laduree family has been creating their signature macaroons (one of their spring flavors was Lily of the Valley) and other delicious sweets. And yes, they do wedding cakes but they are unlike any of the ones that we have in the States. So French!

Though KC did bring me back some French goodies, I dream of going to Laduree and devouring all those scrumptious sweets including the macaroons (which are a favorite cookie of mine) and the millefeuilles which I first tasted at a wedding in Avignon at Hotel Europa (loved them!).

Now onto Nanie and Clifton's photo shoot.

Nanie and Clifton chose several picturesque backdrops for their wedding photo shoot. Later this year, they are having an intimate wedding at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel followed by a very French reception at Le Charm restaurant in SOMA. You may recall that I created a silk bouquet of peonies for Nanie to take from San Francisco to Paris. For the SF reception, I'll be designing with real flowers. Nanie choose a color palette of butter yellow, dark chocolate and vanilla.

I love that the silk peonies bouquet made it to Paris and looks fabulous even though it traveled in a suitcase all the way from SF. Of course, with such an amazing backdrop who is looking at the flowers, right?

Thank you Nanie and Clifton for asking me to do your bouquet and boutonnière!! And thank you KC for the images.
