WILDFLOWER LINEN

Last week at the Bloomingdale’s style event I showcased three great holiday tabletop designs with the best of this season’s trends. The table on the left is a formal black-tie holiday table. This table features one of our newest black and white linen, Spanish Paisley, accented with Belle Taffeta Black Napkins. The Chameleon Chairs are dressed in our Diana Chair Sleeves, in a Chantilly Lace and Belle Taffeta combination. The table in the middle is our Avant Garde New Year’s Eve table. It features our newest custom linen collection, Marilyn, which is shown with our Shantung White Napkins and coordinating Marilyn Chameleon Chair Backs. This whimsical table adds that perfect touch for any special occasion for two. The table on the right is our Norman Rockwell Christmas table. I’ve used linen from our Lily Pad Collection, shown in the traditional moss and red colors. Our Matte Satin Red and Shantung Moss napkins accent the table, while the custom Lily Pad Moss Chameleon Chair Backs completes this home for the holidays look. It was so nice to see everyone and I hope that I inspired you this holiday season!

In need of some holiday inspiration for your tabletops? Please join me on December 11 at Bloomingdale’s in Fashion Island where I will be creating three tabletop designs with the best of this season’s trends. Get great ideas for your Christmas and New Year’s Eve tables and please, come up and say hello. I look forward to seeing you there!

Continuing to play with the color theme of sophisticated oranges for this year’s ultimate Thanksgiving table look, we created this gorgeous design by starting with an Iridescent Taffeta Persimmon underlay overlaid with our Empress Lace Butter. The chiavari chair skirts are our Diamond Taffeta Mandarin and the napkins are the same Iridescent Taffeta Persimmon as the underlay. In all, a look good enough to eat!

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays because it is all about the table.

If you are like me, you spend a lot of time thinking how your table will look, how guests will feel when they are sitting at it and how well it will blend with your décor. And, of course, you want it to silently convey the warmth and love that you feel as your family and friends sit down for dinner.

I always consider color and texture of the cloths first, then what china and floral I’m going to use to accent the table. But, being in California, I also have to consider if I will serve inside or outside.

Since this Thanksgiving will undoubtedly be warm enough for my family and guests to sit outside, I began to play with outdoor looks like the one pictured here. Instead of combining the deep tones we associate with fall such as brown, burgundy and orange, I focused instead on accents of burnt red (Russian Linen Florence Runners) and lightening the complete look with layers of ivory (Organic Twirl Ivory and Russian Linen Light Ivory).

While this look fits perfectly with the Spanish architecture of this Southern California property, Wildflower Linen has cloths to create whatever look you desire for this holiday season.
