Friday in the Park With Paris

The festive flower-clad Paris Forino team

The Paris Forino crew took to the Great Lawn at Central Park last Friday for our annual picnic. With a floral theme in mind (Florals for Spring? Groundbreaking...), we curated a Pinterest-worthy set-up of supplies and decor from Rifle Paper Co. We also lived our Coachella fantasy with over-sized confetti balloons and DIY flower crowns. There's nothing like a friendly arts & crafts competition to keep a bunch of designers busy for an afternoon. Congrats to Petya for winning the best crown!

As is tradition for the picnic, our team split into duos for a relay competition consisting of a spoon-egg-balancing race, water balloon toss, and a three-legged race with the most festive assortment of colorful bandannas tied at the ankles. Despite the ruckus coming from the Great Lawn we promise no designers were injured during this spectacle.

The picnic culminated with a birthday celebration for our very own Cy Wilson who requested the most fabulous mille-feuille layered crepe cake from Lady M cake boutique. If you have not tried their signature mille crepes then I suggest you correct that as soon as possible. We're all still dreaming of it.

Please enjoy some photos of our celebration and the birthday boy living his best life!
