Profusion and detail were the bywords of this lavish do in Southern France.  We gave this elite formal affair an old world air and emphasized it with a textured “pattern on pattern” design: floral tapestry fabrics were used in the room perimeters to define the party space; the pattern was mirrored throughout: in our luxurious linens, lush centerpieces and even in our delicate napkin rings.

Guests who had come from out of town for a week of celebration were greeted in their hotel rooms with a bunch of festive balloons and a note inviting them to join in at this awe-inspiring reception.   Grand, colorful and fun--what better way to celebrate. 

This Parisian setting borrowed Versailles sculptured gardens to create a mood of ultra-elegance.  Sweeping lush fabrics and cream and gold tones made this do a lavish affair.  Note the Eiffel Tower centering each table.
