Luxembourg Gardens Engagement.

Fabulous Luxembourg gardens engagement with Tej and Erica this past week end in Paris. Paris is a beautiful city all year long and specially in the fall. The days are simply gorgeous with high temperatures at the moment still the leaves are turning gold already, the light is crisp. The days are also getting a little shorter. We are saying goodbye to a glorious summer season and are now welcoming the autumn with all of its beauty in the city.

We organised a gourmet picnic at the Luxembourg gardens for Tej. The idea was that he proposes to his girlfriend while enjoying our deco picnic at the park. Because weekend can get a little busy at the moment, we decided to have the picnic ready by 12h. We set it up at one of the two lawns that are accessible to the public. The Luxembour garden is certainly the perfect spot for a proposal, overlooking the main fountain and the senat in the background.

For the one of you who have not been to Paris yet, the Luxembourg garden is located in the 6th arrondissement. The garden is steps away from the historical Sorbonne university, as well as the Paris Jazz clubs and art cinemas of Saint Germain des Près. The parc is also a few minutes walk from the seine river and walking distance to “les deux Magots” and the “café de Flore”. Both cafés are a literally institution of the boulevard Saint Germain.

Parisian often gather on the lawn to catch up with friends, do their week end exercise and chill with a good book. 12h was the perfect timing.

Our deco picnic was set up in the middle of the main lawn overlooking the senat in the background. The deco included a set of cushions, a vintage picnic blanket, a couple of traditional wicker baskets one of which hosting a silver bucket of iced champagne. We also included vintage umberllas over both baskets to shed the food. On the blanket laid a hand written menu with some candles.
