Host a French Open Final Party That Serves Style & Sparkle
Paris in spring is equal parts elegance and adrenaline—and so is the French Open Final. If you can’t be in the stands at Court Philippe-Chatrier, bring Roland Garros home with a fête that’s equal parts clay-court drama and Champs-Élysées chic. Here’s your step-by-step playbook—Tennis DuJour style.
1. Set the Scene: Terra-Cotta Chic
- Color palette: Warm clay, crisp whites, and a dash of champagne gold.
- Tablescape: Layer linen runners with potted herbs (bonjour, rosemary!) and petite bud vases of peonies or poppies.
- Atmosphere: Spin a playlist that drifts from Édith Piaf to Daft Punk, and scatter a few vintage wooden racquets or canisters of old Wilson balls for rakish charm.
2. Sip with Style
- Signature cocktail: The Red Clay Rally—rosé Champagne, a splash of blood-orange liqueur, and a twist of grapefruit.
- Classic crowd-pleaser: French 75s served ice-cold in coupes.
- The finishing touch: Slide each glass onto our witty, embroidered Tennis Cocktail Napkins for a little courtside quip with every sip.
3. Make a Statement with Art
Why stop at floral centerpieces? Prop “Cheers to Tennis” by SJ Johnson on your mantel or bar cart. Champagne bottles clinking over crossed racquets give an instant ooh-la-la nod to Parisian celebration—and double as conversation starter when the commentators hit a lull.
4. Layer in Luxe Details
- Toss the I Love Tennis Hook Pillow onto your sofa for instant sporty romance.
- Stack frosted Taylor Paladino racquet cups on the drinks cart—dishwasher-safe, Instagram-ready.
- Garnish the snack spread with mini French macarons, flaky croissants, and a bowl of Haribo tennis-ball gummies for playful contrast.
5. Dress the Part
Invite guests to channel “courtside couture”: crisp tennis whites punctuated by a red lip, silk scarf, or a swipe of terra-cotta eye shadow. Encourage the bold to rock clay-stained sneakers—because dedication deserves style points.
6. Add a Dash of Friendly Competition
- Prediction cards: Have guests forecast the winner, final scoreline, or even total minutes played.
- Best-dressed award: A bottle of bubbly (naturally) for the guest who most effortlessly blends Parisian polish with athletic edge.
7. Toast the Final Set
As the last ball kicks up red dust and the trophy is hoisted, raise a glass: À la prochaine! Whether you came for the rallies or just the rosé, you’ve celebrated the French Open Final the Tennis DuJour way—Play Strong. Live Beautifully.
