“We wanted to create a fresh interpretation of traditional French décor. A whisper of pink blends with black and white toile and pewter to create an updated French table setting. Vintage elements include the wrought iron arch, silver tea service, a blush sofa, formal plates, and antique glasses. The clean lines and black-and-white tones lend a savvy and sophisticated feel, while the clusters of pink and white flowers add a feminine touch.”

Cocktail: French Kiss
Combine 1 ounce of Cafe Chloe’s rose syrup (organic rose petals steeped in filtered water with cane sugar) with 6 ounces of dry crisp sparkling wine, or Champagne, for an intoxicating scent and beautiful blush color. Garnish and serve.
