The seating consisted of large chesterfield sofas mixed with gold chiavari chairs and slip-covered chairs.
The table was tightly wrapped with burlap, which I thought was a fantastic idea! The neutral color & texture served as a nice backdrop for the colorful flowers, candles and accents that decorated the table.
We each took home a copy of new book, The Comfortable Home by Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams.

I couldn't get enough of the gorgeous tabletop! This is my dream outdoor summer dinner party.
Favors for each guest were an over-sized terrycloth beach towel/ blanket courtesy of Henri Bendel.

White mugs filled with fresh herbs serve as a centerpiece in lieu of flowers. I love this idea!

Oh wow - how stunning is that table top!? I adore it - thank you so much for sharing. It must have been an absolutely fantastic time! :)
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful!!! The table looks amazing and I love the black and white with a splash of color.
ReplyDeleteAlso love how modern the Lalique pieces are. I was used to see more classical looks from them so I'm happily surprised.
And you look very chic!
