Tabletop Tuesday: Under the Big Top

If you're around Dallas from September 28th - October 21st, you can't help but notice the greatest state fair in the world. Whether your weakness is the ferris wheel or sugary, fried concoctions, there is something for everyone. So when Emily Clarke  of Emily Clarke and Company thought of Fall, she thought of someone near and dear to the heart of Texans -- Big Tex, the icon of the Texas state fair. For weddings and children's events, what's a more whimsical background than a magical fairground? Emily brought that same feeling of fun and enchantment to her shoot for the Brides of North Texas Fall 2012 issue. We love the mixture of deep reds juxtaposed with softer tones. It already has us dreaming of cotton candy!

Hickory Street Annex near the fairgrounds at Fair Park hosted Emily's carnival inspired bridal shoot. Hues of cotton candy pink, deep reds, grays, and white bring to life a whimsical party! We love the tented look Emily created with silk ribbons along with our Villa Ballroom Chairs. Photography throughout by Sarah Kate Photography.

How cute are these miniature white chiavari chairs?

Pink chiavari chairs with pink and white striped linens. I'm thinking of an Alice in Wonderland tea party.

Don't you love when the serving equipment actually looks cool? This is a great way to make sure your little one wants a milk mustache.

You really can never have too much candy, right?

Carnival themes aren't complete without a ferris wheel cupcake holder. Especially if said cupcakes are from Society Bakery.

More milk, please.

Literally buckets of fun.
