"The dinner tables were dressed in a combination of white textured linens and silver birch linens to provide a polar-landscape-inspired foundation," designer John Hensel of HMR Designs said.

Hall's Rentals provided ice-blue wine glasses, and a box of Altoids at each place setting made for a thematic gift.
