{A Weekend Wedding} Destination Paris!

Welcome to Parisian Themed {Weekend Wedding}!


(click image for larger view)

Welcome to Paris!  For this Parisian themed wedding, the couple has chosen a chic colour combination of grey and pink.  A fun tea length wedding dress with polka dotted overlay by an unknown designer is accented by a flowing grey bridesmaid dress with halter neck by AfterSix and grey suits for the groomsmen.  Long before the wedding vows are exchanged, the guests receive fashionable striped invitations in French.  The wedding tables are elegantly draped in pink linens and upon each table sits a miniature Eiffel tower centerpiece.  To pay hommage to the vintage French balloon women, the rooms are filled with bunches of pink balloons, which the guests released into the air.  The guests indulge in a table overflowing with French sweets and candies, and at the end of the night everyone is sent home with a miniature Eiffel tower to remember their time in this fantastic destination.
