Remember when you were a wee little kid and playing dress up was the most fun you could have in an afternoon? I remember riffling through drawers full of my grandmother’s extravagant costume jewelry and just layering on so many pieces I could barely stand up. It wasn’t a wearable look for sure but it was my 5 year old version of “concept” and the love of creating conceptual looks has lasted well into my grown up years. I love to play dress up with my tables almost as much as I like to play dress up with my clothes! As an event planner, I often have the opportunity to turn a space into something completely different; a ballroom into an outer space galaxy or a garden into an pink butterfly wonderland. I never run out of ideas; I’m only limited by time and budget (which of course, tends to be limiting!)
Recently, along with my friend and new business partner, Erin and my friend and fab floral stylist, Lauren we had the opportunity to create two concept tables for a photoshoot. We immediately decided one would be garden and the other would be, well not garden. Sadly, the weather didn’t cooperate and our outdoor garden shoot had to be moved inside. Luckily, I found these amazing boxhedge panels from Town and Country Event Rentals and it helped bring a little of the lush green from outside in. We wanted a traditional, elegant table where two ladies might have lunch to discuss their upcoming benefit event. I might add that since we had a limited budget for these tables everything shown is either thrifted or pulled from our own cabinets. I made the faux linen overlay with a $10 piece of fabric (an iron and some stitch witchery is all you need.) This was our result:
