I’m a sucker for a well-executed theme and the Harmony Tree Venue team did an amazing job with their “A Cat in Paris” design. This concept was such a fun idea, and the design team was able to create such a cute, whimsical set-up for this shoot that would be perfect for any party.

To showcase their event coordination & design services, Grace Eaplin and team decided to put together this style shoots in collaboration with Fleuretica (stylist), Oh Shiny Co. (balloon garlands), LaserdrewLA (backdrops), Becky Yang (backdrop artist), Robbie Lynn Bakes (cakes), Melinda Creates (desserts), and LV Floral Events (florals) and of course, the uber-talented, Herman Au (photography). The Cat in Paris theme, was inspired by their love of cats (and their French attitude), desserts, bread, cheese, and flowers!

Nothing beats a bike ride in Paris with the wind in your hair, the aroma of freshly baked baguettes wafting in the air, an array of colorful bouquets gracing the countless flower shops, and adorable cafes lining the streets with fashionably dressed patrons savoring their morning coffee. Cats, with their usual laissez-faire attitude, complete the scene. To incorporate the cat details without making the theme overly cartoonish, they created little details such as cat logos on the sparkling cider bottles and butter cans for the bread (made to look like cat food), as well as adding cat silhouette coffee cups filled with pink carnations and roses. Then, of course, there were baguettes, croissants, macarons, and our favorite dessert cart, accompanied by the quintessential bicycle with the flourishing florals in the basket. The color palette of blush, black, and a hint of gold is pretty, fresh, and chic, reflecting the scene for a lovely springtime Cat in Paris party!
