Inspiration Board: Audrey’s Paris Inspired Sabrina

Julia Ormand did a remake in 1995, but the original Sabrina was Audrey Hepburn in 1954. Starring alongside Humphrey Bogart and William Holden, Audrey’s turn in Sabrina was the vehicle that created a lifelong friendship between Hepburn and French Designer Hubert de Givenchy.  THE dress (pictured below in left-side photo) was a creation by Givenchy that nearly any woman would love to own!

My Sabrina inspired wedding incorporates bits of France & Paris…where the character of Sabrina found her inspiration!

Paris Inspired Sabrina!

The Favors: Its all about the food but more specifically the dessert. So let’s make the favor a sweet treat and Parisian favorite! Macaroons come in several flavors and you can package a trio of flavors for each guest! Photo Courtesy of Opera Patisserie, San Diego, Ca

The Bridesmaids: Its not just about the silhouette, but also the neckline!  A Bateau Neckline (which is also referred to as a Boat Neck or Sabrina Neckline) is the best choice.  Its so Audrey and so Sabrina!  Photo Courtesy of Brides.com - Aria Gown

The Bride: Nothing can compare to the original…unless you’re doing a direct copy and if you are can I have one too!  But I must say that this evokes the spirit of the gown and is a lovely interpretation.  Photo Courtesy of TheKnot.com - Sposa Pucchi Gown

The Bouquet: We’re going French Countryside here.  The loose, just-picked style is very French and very modern.  Love it!  Photo Found on Style Me Pretty - Bouquet by Interieurs et Fleurs - Photo by Kate Headley

The Cake: The traditional French Wedding Cake is actually a Croquembouche; which is a tower of cream puffs!  The French sure do know how to do dessert!  Photo Courtesy of Patisserie du Soleil, San Diego CA

The Invitations: Simplicity is key.  Accents are what define this French-Inspired set of wedding stationery.  Photo Courtesy of Wedding Paper Divas

The Venue: Not quite Parisian or French, but the final scene of Sabrina takes place on a ship as Sabrina sales back to Paris.  So why not host your festivities on a yacht!  Photo Courtesty of San Diego Harbor Excursions - The California Spirit
