If you're thinking about whimsical white

A white dress can go from traditional to whimsical with the slightest draping of fabric. Perhaps no one understands this better than Inbal Dror, who creates elegant yet wistful gowns for the modern bride who holds on to family traditions. Likewise, the Mottahedah Lace Charger and Simply Platinum China Collection are for the modern bride who wants to add a special touch to her traditional place settings. Just as no one will forget the bow or the beading of this wedding dress, no one will forget the attention to detail brought to an elegant dining experience complete with couture tabletop accents.

Get the Look: Table for Two

A big soiree is fun and fabulous, but isn't there something special about a small, intimate gathering? Just because the table isn't being set for 200 doesn't mean you need to scrimp on style. Quite the opposite. A table for two is often the best way to celebrate because likely you're with a soul mate, best friend, parent - you get the point. Maybe that's why this Palm Springs couple and their elopement captured by Jose Villa Photography took our breath away. We took notice of their simple yet fun tablescape which kept classic elements (villa chairs, gold rimmed chargers) and made them pop with a modern mix of sequins and golden hues. We love the idea of embracing classic style with a twist. Whether you are setting the table for two (like this couple) or 75, the smaller guest list will give you even more freedom to add couture items that make your special ones feel more than a number on a guest list - they'll feel like royalty.

Tabletop Tuesday: Fall Garden

This is an oldie but a goodie - a contemporary garden wedding reception at the Nasher perfect for a chilled, autumn evening. What makes this look so modern is the classic silver and gold tones used on everything from the linens to the flatware mixed with modern ghost chairs and floral arrangements. Very fitting for the Nasher, indeed. See more of this gorgeous reception on Style Me Pretty.

Entertain: Wine and Dine

This wine dinner at Nick & Sam's has all of the makings of a great sit down soiree: great food, awesome hosts, beautiful place settings, incredible floral design, seating arrangements that encourage conversation, and inspiring artwork! Lisa and Randy's wine dinner featured a feast from Nick & Sam's Executive Chef Samir Dhurandhar, including Chilean Sea Bass, morel mushrooms, and asparagus tart (cue mouth watering now). Dr. Delphinium created the floral design around the artwork from Samuel Lynne Galleries - nothing like a festive feast in a beautiful setting!
