Wouldn't I have loved to have gone back to
Paris
for my anniversary again this year,
but alas, that wasn't to be, so I
created a bit of Paris in my back yard.
Just a little down the hill I can buy macarons
that almost make me feel like I am at a patisserie.
These were rose flavored.
Perfect to pair with all of the stunning red roses in my garden.
I have set a romantic table for two using my fun
Eiffel tower plates.
Everything is black and white with a punch of red.
My French garden is the perfect spot to place my
romantic mirrored table.
The antique mirrored effect of the table is so
beautiful on the patio.
The table is filled with fresh roses from the garden.
These are some of the most beautiful roses. The flowers are
fabulous right now and I love to cut them and bring them in
and enjoy them.
Sparkling red napkins with a jeweled napkin ring
seem perfect for the placesetting.
Oh, the intensity of the red.
Under the Eiffel tower plates are plates featuring
French estate homes. I love how they capture the beauty
of the wonderful homes you see in France.
This wonderful romantic heart with wings is a treasure
I brought back from Cabo.
Here is a view looking back over the roses.
The finishing touch of course is the addition of the rose flavored
macarons. What a wonderful way to bring Paris to us.

Beautiful! Happy Anniversary!!! Rose flavored macarons, mmm xo
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful idea to bring a mirrored table out into the garden/patio area! What is a more beautiful reflection than nature itself? Brilliant! You set a gorgeous table, Jacqueline, and the Parisians should be jealous! :-) I love the punches of red against the neutral black and white. Your roses are magnificent! I could kill a rose bush just by looking in its general direction. :-( Sadly, not my forte. I hope your anniversary celebration is as fabulous as last year...even without the passport!
ReplyDeleteSuch an elegant Parisian table for two! Doesn't the mirrored table just set the mood for your romantic anniversary celebration.
ReplyDeleteThe black, white and silver are nice but then the red accents - gorgeous. Perfect red roses too Jacqueline.

ReplyDeleteEverything is exceeding beautiful! Gorgeous mirrored table and a very pretty setting to take the place of Paris.
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely photos! I've never been to Paris, but you really captured the spirit. Congratulations on your new grand baby.
ReplyDeleteThe second best thing to being in Paris is being in your own backyard. Lovely tablesetting and those macaroons look divine!!! Love the Paris plates too : )
ReplyDeleteDanielle xo
WOOOOOOOOOOOO JACQUELINE! Your garden....that is enough to stop me in my tracks. BUT THAT MIRRORED TABLE???? It is exquisitely placed amongst what looks to me a European style garden in the lushest of greens. That is what I have going and it is so peaceful! But your tablescapes are magnificent here! IF THIS IS what you are doing for a prep for the Paris Party, then what delightful and beautiful things do you have up your sleeve for JUNE 8? This is just perfect. HAVE A BLAST and let's dream dream DREAM!
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for the mention!! Anita
Your roses are fabulous. What a pretty French tablescape. Love everything and the pretty mirrored table. What kind of
ReplyDeletecamera do you use? Just lovely.
Macaroons are my favorite!!! Looks like a lovely party.
ReplyDeleteAhhh...Paris...Thank you for the little visit. And those roses!!! OMG, they almost don't look real! They're so beautiful! ~Zuni
ReplyDeleteCan't believe it has already been a YEAR since you posted about going to Paris! Yikes, how time flies!
ReplyDeleteThe black and white looks so sharp and classic, and the pops of red are stunning!
I would say you've done a terrific job creating Paris in your own back yard. I'm glad you mentioned that you bought the macaroons because for a split second I was even more impressed! (:
ReplyDeleteHi Jacqueline, I was starting to feel sad that you could not go to Paris for your anniversary and then I remembered those fabulous pictures of Cabo !!!! and I wasn't feeling so sorry anymore! :) Just kidding. I would love to have you go to Paris again and show us more wonderful places there. I don't know what is the matter with me today. When I saw that rose I actually inhaled thinking I would enjoy the delightful aroma that only those full red roses have. Your photos and the table setting are beautiful and the macaroons look so delish! Have a wonderful day. Linda
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful table! The red roses are the perfect jewels to celebrate your anniversary, and I love the Parisian plates! Happy Anniversary! Cherry Kay
ReplyDeleteI am so glad I saved this post to come see. This is TRES MAGNIFIQUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love the plates but your GARDENS in the background are magnificent. The roses are gorgeous. Such beaty displayed here, especially that mirrored table. WOW!!!! XO Pinky
