Diner en Blanc Comes to Dallas

Diner en Blanc Dallas

Last week Diner en le Blanc had its inaugural event in Dallas on the pedestrian bridge by Margaret Hill Hunt Bridge in Downtown Dallas. We were one of the official photographers for Diner en Blanc Dallas and I am been super excited to share these photos. I am sure some of you reading this, might be wondering what exactly is this event. I pulled this from the Diner en Blanc’s website to help better explain what this event is all about. I think it explains it way better than I ever could.

“At the last minute, the location is given to thousands of friends and acquaintances who have been patiently waiting to learn the “Dîner en Blanc’s” secret place. Thousands of people, dressed all in white, and conducting themselves with the greatest decorum, elegance, and etiquette, all meet for a mass “chic picnic” in a public space.

Over the course of an evening, the diners enhance the function and value of their city’s public space by participating in the unexpected.
Beyond the spectacle and refined elegance of the dinner itself, guests are brought together from diverse backgrounds by a love of beauty and good taste.
Le Dîner en Blanc recalls the elegance and glamour of court society, and diners engage one another knowing they are taking part in a truly magical event.
There are no disruptions: no car traffic, no pedestrian traffic, except for the occasional amazed and astonished looks from passersby at the scene unfolding before them. And we, as they, wonder whether it’s all not a dream…

Born 27 years ago in Paris…

Launched with just a handful of friends by François Pasquier over 27 years ago, Paris’ Dîner en Blanc now assembles nearly 15,000 people each year. The French capital’s most prestigious sites have played host to it: the Pont des Arts, the Eiffel Tower site, Place Vendôme, the Château de Versailles, the Esplanade de Notre-Dame, the Esplanade des Invalides, the periphery of the Place de l’Étoile, the Champs-Élysées, Place de la Concorde, Le Louvre Pyramid, Trocadéro Esplanade and this year:  The Palais Royal Garden!
The Paris police tend to tolerate this ‘wild’ gathering, if not perhaps even wishing they could join in!”

Everyone was bused in to the secret location and brought their tables and chairs with them.

I had to sneak in a photo of my husband (on the right) because he never wears white and looked great with his fedora from our wedding day.

It was scary but super awesome.
