Parisian PATISSERIE

BY IRENIC EVENTS & CO. (SYD)

WHAT WAS YOUR INSPIRATION BEHIND THE STYLING FOR THIS PARTY SHOOT?

Our inspiration for the photoshoot came from the cafés of Paris. We wanted to create a space that felt realistic and unique which was outside the norm of using feminine colours and themes as the main feature.

WHAT WERE SOME OF THE UNIQUE FEATURES OF THIS SETUP?

We chose green, blue, and dusty pink as our main colour palette for the setup, stepping away from the more traditional and vibrant colours for girls. To create a realistic Parisian café vibe, we incorporated props such as a stylish green candy cart, a vintage bicycle and double French doors. We collaborated with a number of vendors who made our vision that much better with items such as the Lambeth cake, cupcakes, a macaron tower, cookies, menu signs, and luxurious gift bags which were all displayed on elegant cake stands. We even had customised Eiffel Tower cocktail stirrers which was a really inspired touch!

SHARE YOUR TOP TIPS FOR THOSE PLANNING CHILDREN’S PARTIES AND CELEBRATIONS.

Start planning your event as early as possible and to really consider the space of the venue – especially the lighting. You can have amazing backdrops, flowers and balloons, but if your lighting does not do it justice, it will make the entire setup look very dull.
