Today was a beautiful sunny day. A perfect day to go to the Farmers Market!
Luckily, I found some great vendors who were able to satisfy my Spring wants and needs -- a gorgeous, colorful bouquet of anemones and ranunculus, a pound of fresh organic Shasta tangerines, and {my new favorite} black truffle oil.
France, a country whose culture exudes romance and a spoken language that's sounds effortlessly embody love. Personally, I have always been a huge fan of everything that encompasses French culture, especially French desserts and pastries. Mille-feuilles, crème brûlée, profiteroles, and macaroons... YUMMY!!! How can a girl say no to these scrumptious delicacies?! Although very delicious, the sweet treats aren't the only thing that attracts people to the fascinating features that France has to offer.
Vintage French and Parisian inspired designs have been popular theme choices for all types of social events. Why? It's sexy, sophisticated, decadent and from a world other than our own. From two of the "big four" fashion capitals of the world, it's no wonder many brides are requesting a French spin for their soirées' motif. Most recently, I've heard many SoCal clients requesting upbeat, atmospheric, French Jazz music for their rehearsal dinners, bridal showers, cocktail hours and birthday parties.
Here are a few of our favorite French Jazz/Cafe songs that we recommend for your next celebration:
Emilie-Claire Barlow - Les Yeux Ouverts
Térez Montcalm - Soirées mondaines
Parisian Summer by 615 Music
Au Café de la Paix by Thomas Fersen
