Plenty of couples have seen the charm in Paris-themed receptions over the past few years. You see them crop up in tastefully muted ballrooms, awash in lattes and mochas, blacks and ivories.<\/p>\n

Couples spruce up the tables with eiffel-style vases, or actual mini Eiffel Towers topped with monochromatic florals. Sometimes you\u2019ll see snippets of toile, a towering croquembouche on the cake table, bridal stationery peppered with fleurs de lis, or bridal showers<\/a> that pop with pink-and-black hat boxes and velvety French-milled soaps.<\/p>\n

Your Own Personal Paris<\/h2>\n

That\u2019s why we tracked down New York wedding planner Sarah Lusardi of NY Engagements<\/a> for her thoughts on the ultimate Paris-theme wedding. Because not only did Lusardi boast a stint at a stateside but \u201cvery authentic\u201d patisserie (\u201cwe made our own baguettes and brioche in the back!\u201d), she specializes in events with serious flair.<\/p>\n

In fact, Lusardi recently won an industry award for a Broadway-themed wedding that involved a host of professional actors (including the bride and groom!), 300 guests, pro-level lighting and sound, and a budget \u2014 which took place on New Year\u2019s, no less.<\/p>\n

So it\u2019s no surprise that when we asked for her ideas of a memorable Paris-theme wedding, she quickly brought it back to the individual.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven though it\u2019s a theme wedding, it really depends on the couple \u2026 it\u2019s a matter of bringing out their personality,\u201d she said, pointing out that a Parisian-style wedding could fall into very different eras with very different moods, and styles of dress.<\/p>\n

\u201cStill,\u201d she said, \u201cwhen you think of Paris, you think of fashion \u2014 and romance, artists, Moulin Rouge, Verlaine \u2014 these are all very French feelings. And France is known for its great food, wine and cheese \u2014 you could really play a lot with this.\u201d<\/p>\n
