  • Inspiration: Wedding Cakes & Croquembouche

    Remember when we told you about the importance of a Croquembouche piece montee in french wedding traditions? Well, for this weeks inspiration blog post we wanted to gather a few of our favorite looking (and no doubt) yummiest cake designs including the traditional American styled layered cake as well as the french style croquembouche.

    We’re hearing from many of our British brides that since seeing Michelle Roux made a croquembouche on Masterchef they’re intrigued about having one at their weddings!

    Depending on the size of the wedding party – some couple choose to have both; a croquembouche and a layered cake.

  • Inspiration: Bridal Bouquets, Peonies and more

    Bridal bouquets are important to every bride and each bride chooses their flowers based on seasonality, color choices or simply “these are my favorite flowers!”. We’ve done everything from blush/nude to blood red and everything in between here in Paris with some of the best floral designers around.

    Here are some inspirational bouquets for your clipboards, including some peony selections amongst others.

    Red Peonies Bridal bouquet

    For 2012, we’ve seen a large trend towards using Peonies. We love peonies too – white, blush, pink, red …all of them, but brides be aware that peony season is from April to June.
