Tabletop Tuesday: Call of the Wild

We love that the exotic theme of the zoo made it to the tabletop. The palm leaf centerpiece makes just as much of a statement as a bold animal print.

Today's tabletop is for the leader of the pack. Fiercely unique with an amalgam of textures (natural elements plus exquisite couture details), this tablescape designed by Tami Winn Events is a fresh take on the formal tabletop. Tami was inspired by the location - the Fort Worth Zoo, and wanted to create a fun look for the non-traditional bride or a unique event. We think she succeeded, don't you?

TOAST: TRUE LOVE

With Valentine's Day being tomorrow, we thought it would be nice to toast true love. What better way to do so than with the wedding of our very own Meagan Hayes to Jason Kamerbeek. It was a true winter wonderland at the Kamerbeek's home in Waxahachie, Texas, held the weekend after Thanksgiving. Planner Emily Clarke, florist Di Fiori, and Meagan all worked together to capture the essense of a Texas Autumn and the spirit of celebration. It was the perfect wedding for a true Southern Belle.

The happy newlyweds, Mr. and Mrs. Kamerbeek

A crisp November evening: Meg chose Natural Grand Chaivari Chairs to compliment the outdoor ceremony.

Beautiful florals by DI FIORI and seeds for tossing after the newlyweds.

A mariachi band welcomed the guests to cocktail hour by the Kamerbeek's pool before a seated dinner.

Pashminas serve as the perfect party favor on a cold, Winter night. / A romantic screen door holds seating arrangements.

Natural Grand Chiavari Chairs and a mixture of complimenting linens for the reception tent.

Cocktail hour and dinner by NICK & SAMS / Wine pairings with the meal, served in Royal Gold Glassware and Amber Goblets.

The reception tent is transformed with ambient lighting for dinner and dancing.

Lounge seating and monogrammed pillows from FAUXCADES. / Pintuck and Jute linens compliment the scene.

Before the courses are served on Mahogany Rose and Exotic Bird China, guests find their place setting on either Gold Pebbled Chargers or Barcelona Gold Chargers and Parisian Flatware.

The whole P.O.S.H. COUTURE RENTALS gang came out to celebrate. We love you, Meg!

Tabletop Tuesday: The Fall Feast

During the holidays, the biggest gatherings revolve around the table. So you can't just have any old linen taking center stage for such important events. One of our favorite fall/winter linens is the Resource One Umber Taffeta with Chocolate Applique. Its rich design and texture sets the perfect tone for a fall feast. Plus, its unique color can transform pulls from the elements of the tablescape. Bring in bright china patterns and florals for a modern take on tabletop or play up the darker tones for a more traditional look. We love it either way. Which do you prefer?
