Be the Belle of the Ball!!

I love everything about Paris; the Moulin Rouge, the Eiffel Tower, the amazing boutiques, all of the flea markets, their style, the chic patisseries, and the King Louis costume balls with their
swooshy skirts, gorgeous corsets, and beautiful detailing on everything.

So keeping this in mind, here's my modern take on this fabulous theme!


I adore this duck egg blue dress!!
Using pastel colours in froofy (I know that's not a real word, but it explains it perfectly!!!) fabrics, and mixing it with shiny details such as candlabras and cakestands, and incorporating roses in all your favorite colours, keeps the Parisian flamboyance alive, whilst giving it a modern twist.


You can also easily incorporate modern favorites such as sweetie tables, birdcages, bunting and pretty china, giving the whole theme a more relaxed feel!


One of the things I really love about this theme is that it really can be done using any colour! I've used mostly pastels here because they're my favorite colours, but jewel or berry colours would also make a real impact!


Try to match details for that elegant, costume ball look.
Here I've used clusters of flowers in similar shades across every piece!


Use pretty trinkets in similar hues as favours!
This way your guests will have something gorgeous to remind them of your big day to keep forever!!!


For more of a classic wedding take on this theme, stick to cream, coffee, pink hues, using cameos, table lamps, and beading for timeless elegance with plenty of ambience.

If you're after a more quirky, cool twist, add colour coordinated brogues instead of silvery stilettoes, and use browns, salmon pink and coral for a slightly retro feel!
