Sunday Supper :: Summer, Table

The table Design for our Summer Supper was a large family style setting. We used white table clothes, layered with brown kraft paper. We set the table with our vintage silverware and a mix-matched array of vintage napkins. Jessie's flowers topped it all off with a wonderful deep hues of pinks and reds. One of the things that makes Jessie's work so unique is how she seamlessly incorporates the most unexpected items, look closely and you'll find acorns, poppy pods and the really dark flowers are called scabiosa. We also collected vintage white milk glass vessels as containers for the flowers in an array of shapes and sizes. The wonderful menu was designed by thoughtfulday (and it actually gives you a sneak peak at our new logo which will be revealed in coming weeks!)

Sunday Supper + Thoughtful Designs

Our dear friend Erica Miller designed all of the custom paper items for the Moroccan Evening. Inspired by the Moroccan tiles, Erica designed a custom Mandala for both Amy's Dessert Table and the Sunday Supper Table - allowing both tables to relate well to each other and create a cohesive story. The colors and scale of patterns of the dinner table were a softer interpretation of the designs.

For those of you who don't know what a Mandala is, it's quite a beautiful concept...in Sanskrit maṇḍala literally means "essence" It is a concentric diagram having spiritual and ritual significance in both Buddhism and Hinduism and represents"circle-circumference" or "completion." Erica at Thoughtful Day created a Mandala for Karen's wedding invitations last year, and thus inspired the tradition. It was a beautiful way to create a unique logo that was infused with a bit more meaning. We were clearly thrilled to have Erica design another mandala for SS, and all the proper paper goods that followed ! For those of you who may not be familiar with Erica's work, you must see it immediately. Erica's line of Invitations (both custom & mix and match suites) are elegant and delightful at the same time. And not only is Erica Super talented, she is one of the sweetest-funniest-cutest people you'll ever meet. Check out her Wedding Invitations here and her awesome wedding blog here.
Erica's full suite included recipe cards for our guests to take home. Each recipe card had its own unique border all complimenting one another. Along with the recipe cards and the cookie bags from Amy's table...guests took home these adorable jars of home made preserved lemons. Erica designed the tags for these jars and the cookie packaging as well. Thank you e! xoxo

We'll be posting tips on how to preserve your own lemons at home soon.

Oh, and the chairs...!

Moroccan Sunday Supper :: Table Designs + Flowers

The table design from our Moroccan dinner was inspired by the old tiles that we used as a runner down the middle. Jessie (from Rountree flowers) came in and constructed these amazing little mum shapes - inspired by the patterns in the tiles and by piles of spices - amaaaazing. She then continued with rose petal garlands, decorating the tabletop with those pops of orange and pink, they were just the thing. The candlestick holders were actually regular taper holders that Jessie converted into pillars by attaching votive holders on top, filling them with sand and using a bit of fun tak to attach - neat trick ! More about the menus & paper items coming soon...stay tuned xoxo

Sunday Supper, Market :: Table Design

Our tabletop: Burlap tablecloths + blue & white napkins, cute little mini ball jar glasses + vintage silverware & gorgeous flower creations by Jessie = a rustic but classic tabletop, perfect for a farmer's market dinner, don't you think? The menus were printed on brown paper bags which we incorporated into our favors (more about these later) and we used these adorable little clothespins, which we are in love with!

We'll be posting more about the food, menus & flowers this week and next...!
