Mint & Coral Wedding Inspiration

        Mint is an inspiring color and it can be used in so many lovely combinations. Pairing mint with coral is evocative of joy, beauty and rebirth. Using this combo for your wedding will make a wonderful statement about how you approach life. Mint just simply cannot be melancholy.

Rustic Dinner Party

We had the wonderful opportunity to design a warm, rustic dinner party at Villa Privata. The venue has many beautiful spaces for parties, but this dinner party was planned for the Terrazza. We used walnut Chiavari chairs to compliment the abundance of brick and stone used throughout the property. For the table covering, we layered an antique rug over canvas and used a plethora of wood accents and candles to create an inviting atmosphere.

Book Club Dinner Party

In mid September we designed a book club dinner party at a private residence in Northern California. We used warm, vibrant colors to create an inviting setting and compliment the early autumn garden.
