Place Settings

A fortune-teller from sponsor American Express sat at each place setting. They were meant as conversation-starters, with questions like "If you could give your 21-year-old self a heads up about something, what would it be?"

Looking to provide Diwali-theme ideas, Nuage Designs enlisted Tinsel Experiential Design to design a tablescape in keeping with the holiday. Orange Hemp Flocking linen reminiscent of traditional henna designs was provided by Nuage for the base of the design. A floral runner in bright fuchsia, yellow, red, and orange was strung across the table in keeping with the colorful nature of Indian celebrations. Party Rental Limited's gold florentine plates were topped by Nuage napkins to complete the festive table.

Nuage and Crokos kept the tablescape simple, with white serveware from the Tabletop Company and additional flowers. Tiny snow-capped pine trees added to the wintery vibe.

New Jersey-based Party Rental Ltd. recently created several Thanksgiving-appropriate looks using their own rentals. The brand’s Wide Country Table added to this look’s bold, dark accents and rich textures. The seasonal flowers come from Botanica Inc. For the photo shoot, which took place at the TimesCenter, Great Performances handled catering.

For a brighter Thanksgiving table, Party Rental Ltd. used its Country Dining Table and Walnut Rattan Table Runner. A line of Sedona Wood flatware and Sunset Orange Nu Weave napkins completed the rustic look.

More than 21,000 gallons of water filled the OceanSpray bog, with classic wooden dining chairs installed on the floor of the rubber membrane-lined space. The legs were protected with waterproof cladding while the membrane, built by Sonalysts, was leveled against the slope of the site.

The 32-foot-long dining table in the center of the eye-catching OceanSpray bog was anchored by oversize autumnal floral arrangements of lush blossoms, greens, and fruits. Handmade crocheted table runners were paired with rose-gold glass candleholders.

Also at the Tassels and Tastemakers event, place settings on a rustic tabletop included napkin rings made from vintage leather belts atop slices of tree branch. Mindy Weiss designed the table with milk glass from Borrowed Blu.

In 2013, Target feted its collaboration with charity organization Feed Projects with a rustic Americana-style event at the Brooklyn Bridge in New York. Wheatgrass flats, wheat stocks, and Mason jars topped wooden farm tables
