Tropical Chic Meets Parisian Elegance... And We're Obsessed!
From Fete in France... When you think of Paris, tropical greenery doesn't immediately spring to mind. But Paris has a fascination with all things exotic, and if you know where to look, you'll see that the tropical theme that's having a moment right now was also all the rage in Paris - about 100 years ago. We picked two iconic places, the Luxembourg Garden and the Hôtel d'Evreux on the famed Place Vendôme, which offered the perfect backdrop of classic Parisian elegance mixed with the Parisian take on tropical decor.
Feathery palms, romantic lilypads, bright kumquats, combined with lace and touches of gold are a great way to incorporate the tropical theme into a more elegant setting.
