"A Day in Paris" Dessert Table

My Mother is quite the "Fashionista" and loves everything fashion related including one of the fashion capitals of the world, Paris.  She recently asked that I help her with a Paris themed dessert table for a luncheon and fashion show she was planning for the ladies at church.  Of course I wanted to help, how fun!

Decor:
I started with the coordinating stationery in her color choices of red, white and black along with a sprinkle of turquoise. With a little furniture rearranging, her sitting room proved to be the perfect place for the party.   It was one of the easiest tables I have set up so far since she already had all the needed decor and artwork that doubled as backdrops.

Desserts:
I filled apothecary jars with coordinating candy and we served cupcakes, madeleines and palmiers. I handcut several themed toppers for the cupcakes and placed them in coordinating nut cups from Pick Your Plum.  I also wrapped candy bars in matching stationary.

Fashion Show:
My Mom spent hours upon hours decorating the rest of her home to give it a boutique ambiance not to mention the hours spent shopping for the dresses that were worn by the models. There was a total of 21 dress changes!  The fashion show was a huge hit, so much that several ladies purchased the modeled dresses right on the spot.

Tidbit: 
Mom has always loved to dress up and look chic. Unfortunately, I didn't inherit her love of  fancy dresses with matching shoes, purses and hats. Although I appreciate fashion, I'm most comfortable in a pair of jeans. As you can see, when I was a child Mom made sure I was fashionable!

The lovely ladies all had a great time and best of all, I spent quality "girlie" time with my Momma.

Thanks for visiting!
