The project is to create table settings that will entice future brides to register at Gumps, and ...to throw a little fairy dust into the world of retail
I really channeled my inner sweet bride for a couple of these tables (needless to say...had to dig/channel hard) , but for the third...I brought on the "we're gettin' outta town" vibe...a little easier to access that part of my psyche...
 |
| This table showcases the Belle Epoque Dinnerware from Haviland, silver from Buccelati, and glassware from Baccarat. On the plates are quilled paper hearts to mimic the lines on the dinnerware |
 |
| Dainty little paper heart garlands cascade from the chandelier. The flowers are by Kathleen Deery, a wonderful event and floral coordinator in SF. |
 |
| This is another of the sweet tables. This one features dinnerware by Bernadaud, flatware by Georg Jensen, and glassware by Lalique. I made the 'cootie catchers' as a fun addition, and cut out the paper shapes under the placemat to boost the pink color. A little dash of pink himalayan salt never hurts |
 |
| This is the sideboard for the table. A tasty looking cake from Cake Coquette that she created to mimic my chalkboard directive. Great collaboration |
 |
| and here is the 'get outta town' party. Dinnerware is by Richard Ginori, the gold charger is from Annie Glass, flatware is by Robbe Berking, and the drinkware is a wonderful classic from Baccarat |
 |
| Once again, Kathleen Deery did a great job with the flowers, and I echoed the arrangement with tumbles of tropical fruit, some of which was sliced open to give a zesty citrus scent. |
 |
| The tea/champagne cart...actually should have been for Mai Tais |
 |
| Right before the doors were opened, looking down from the landing. Ready... set ...GO |
