White floral

"For Giada De Laurentiis's cookbook launch party, we designed an intimate dinner inside chef Art Smith's home. Decor included colorful handcrafted quilts down the European banquet tables and lush, Italian Renaissance-inspired florals atop Art's collection of antique candelabra."

"Menus for Giada's launch party were placed at each setting, with calligraphy in Italian, carrying the theme through to printed paper details."

"I love big, splashy colorful bar backs. This spa party featured the hot new Nutrisoda cans stacked in acrylic cubes, with color blocked fresh fruit accents. One of my favorites—and years later people still ask us to recreate it for their next party."

"I live for custom monogram icons—and dressing the chair is always a fun, unexpected, thoughtful detail."

"Create focal points with the architecture inside venues—turn fountains into centerpieces, columns into uplit works of art—and bring the space to life for the party."

"I loved creating this wintry wonderland fantasy for a corporate holiday soiree—complete with massive ostrich plumes atop crystal vases, glowing lounge seating, and a snowy-white confection and candy bar."

"The icy floating gardenia and candle centerpieces created instant drama, surrounded by ice-blue hydrangea cuffs around the oversize square vases."

"A modern spin on traditional orchids—wire-wrapped phalaenopsis bouquet clusters inside glass vases strung with hints of chandelier crystal chains, down long banquet tables."

"Always and forever, this dinner in Paris birthday fete, with Ladurée patisserie towers for each guest, will be a magical, fantasy of an evening—even though I was working!"

"Bring elegance overhead by dressing up simple white canvas garden umbrellas or ceilings with hanging posies, warm sparkling suspended candles, or old-fashioned bistro lights."
