Exquisite Weddings Magazine Table Scape

I can not fix on the hour, or the spot, or the look, or the words, which laid the foundation. It is too long ago. I was in the middle before I knew that I had begun.

We're so lucky to be able to partner with artistic dynamos whose enthusiasm for creativity is beyond inspiring. This summer, such a collaboration was formed to create a table top for Exquisite Weddings Magazine (as seen on pages 118-119). We brainstormed an homage to romance through the ages with Sharon Mintz/Organic Elements and designed a Victorian shabby-chic dessert table with unexpected accents and highlights.

Red Letter Days and Organic Elements certainly didn't go at this alone. We'd like to thank the following partners in fun:

Haydee Aldrete/Concepts Event Design for the furniture and linens
Courtney Scowby/Brightly Designed for the paper elements
Patricia Laurice/Chez Laurice for the vintage elements
Jeni Maus/Found Vintage Rentals for the picture frames
Julie Frans and Devin Woodall/Dining Details for the lemon poppy seed cake
David Wasserman/Joes On The Nose for the hot chocolate drinks and whipped cream
Kristen Peelle/Kristen Peelle Photography

Sharon's bright idea (paying tribute to bright ideas...)

Homage to my years of staying on my toes...
