Making Magic

I know what you are thinking ... another beautiful tabletop in just another fancy hotel. But would you be surprised to learn that this dinner took place in a ski lodge? The client was!

Worried that their guests were used to five-star venues, they wondered how this very traditional ski lodge would stack up. But I knew by looking at the space that all it needed was a little magic. I turned out the lights, pinspotted the tables, and washed the wood walls and chocolate curtain in warm amber colors. The result was a stunner.

The tables were covered in Wasabi Wave (great name!) from Wildflower Linen. We customized the menu card by utilizing the graphics of the program, tying it in perfectly. The camel roses in the gold leaf container finished the look. And, yes, we brought in Chameleon Chair, which certainly helped as well.

Sometimes the simplest of accents really makes a difference. Here is a simple pillow candle holder on the outside patio tables. The band is warming up in the background.
