Strawberry Milk does Paris

September 16, 2013

My love affair with Paris is no secret. Last week, we returned from an amazing trip all over France. Here’s a peek into our escapades via Instagram and iPhone pictures…mixing business with pleasure, of course! From Paris we went to Provence to scout for one of our destination wedding clients getting married there next year. Stay tuned for “Strawberry Milk does Provence” – coming next!
