J'adore Parisian Chic

On a recent trip to Paris for the Maison&Objet home furnishings, textile and tabletop show, we fell in further in love with the rustic chic that is emblematic of French entertaining. After all, what could be more elegant than a burlap tablecloth, loose arrangements of lavender-hued blooms and a few hand-written details. With a little help from Sunday Suppers, here's how we'd put it together stateside.

It! Inspiration: Christmas Eve Elegance

There's nothing like an elegant table to set the mood for a beautiful evening with friends and family. Here are our pics for the season:

It! Inspiration: Winter Wedding

Why should Spring get all the glory? We adore winter weddings. After all, what better theme to inspire guests to cozy up with one another as the snow falls?

It! Inspiration: Set a wintry holiday table

Whether you're in Palm Beach or Kennebunkport, a wintry holiday table channeling the beauty of aspen groves and evergreens sets the mood for a cozy holiday feast with friends and family.

It! Inspiration: Giving Thanks in Style

The Thanksgiving holiday reminds us to pause and recount all of the good things in life, to give thanks for these blessings and all of the special people who're special to us.

It's also a great time to set the kind of table that will keep your family (even your mother-in-law!) gabbing about your great taste throughout the holiday season! After all, who wouldn't be thankful for a few well-placed compliments? Here are a few ideas to get you started.

Gobble gobble.

It! Inspiration: Peacock Feathers

One of fall's biggest fashion trends is feathers — feather trim, feather skirts, feather headbands. Feathers are everywhere! And given our lifelong dream of pet peacocks roaming the garden at home (how boho elegant is that?!) we're OBSESSED!

Here are a few ways to incorporate the trend — a timeless look with myriad color combination options — into your wedding or special event. But if you end up ordering in a few pretty peacocks to liven up the affair, please understand if we set up camp to enjoy the view.

It! Inspiration: GREEN

We've had months of beach cruising, popsicles and BBQ, and now it's time to turn our attention toward fall. Fashion trends often influence interior and event design, and this season is no exception. Green was the biggest color to hit the fall runways at Bryant Park, largely in military shades. Check out these verdant options for your next fashionable fall fete.

It! Inspiration: RED

The bold color of love is commonly passed over when choosing a theme for a wedding. We love these shades of red for the eye-catching, confident and romantic aspects it brings to an event.
