I think it goes without saying but I will say it again - we have the BEST CLIENTS EVER!!
We spend a lot of time talking about all the great ways we can help you create a table that is as unique as you are, so I had to take this chance to share a great table with you. First, thank you Patrice & Scott for sharing your first dinner party with us. The food looks great… and the table, well the table is perfect.
This is one cocktail hour I wouldn’t be late for, and I love all the Juliska on this table. The blend of Berry & Thread and Pewter really creates a casual elegance that invites you to grab a plate. This table is also a wonderful example of how you can dress up your casual dinnerware and accessories. Juliska dinnerware is ideal for everyday – it offers a wide range of shapes and colors and you can put everything in the dishwasher. But when you layer in some additional serving pieces and add the right accessories the look becomes anything but every day. Now on the main course!
There are so many great things going on with this table that it’s hard to choose where to start – but I think what I love the most is the amazing blend of “traditional” and “contemporary.” We frequently get asked how to blend the old with the new and this is how you do it. The solid gold service plate is a dramatic way to set the stage - It’s oversize and bold -the perfect way to highlight Bernardaud’s classic Palmyre dinner plate. Everyone knows food looks great on white but a white dinner plate can be boring so the elegant gold trim is a plus. Now we have to talk about the Philippe Deshoulieres Orsay White salad plate. On its own, this is a very ornate, very traditional pattern, but here it feels elegant and contemporary. The bold service plate highlights the gold ornamentation while the understated dinner plate ensures the look isn’t overwhelming. All of this is set against the amazing texture and contrasting color of the placemat and finished with the classic white hemstitched linen napkin – it’s just right.
This stylish table is more than just dinnerware. Check out the sleek lines of the flatware and the unexpected addition of the Crusader serving pieces. I love this little addition to the table. It’s easy to get everything in the same pattern, but it’s fun to mix things up a bit. Plus, the “mismatched” serving pieces will be a welcome addition to other tables –think back to that incredible cocktail hour. The same holds true of the stemware. Again, it is easy to get every glass in the same pattern, but the fun is in finding the shapes and styles that best suit the way you entertain. A great wine deserves the right glass. The clean lines and elegant shape of the Wedgwood Classic collection wine glasses are the perfect complement to the table. Plus the iced beverage glass is big enough to pull double duty as more than a water glass – offering plenty of room for you to add ice. Speaking of pulling double duty; what a great idea using the Juliska serving bowl as a bread basket. We get asked all the time about if it’s ok to blend looks together and our answer is always centered on encouraging people to be creative– every piece of dinnerware can have multiple uses. When you look around you will be amazed at all the new ways you can use the great pieces you already have.
Now I saved the best for last – I have to say thank you again to Patrice and Scott for sharing this amazing table with us! Our clients truly are the best, and we are inspired daily by their creativity and style.
We would love to see more great tables so keep those pictures coming.
