La belle table dans le printemps

October 10, 2007 in Colors,Decor,Receptions,Weddings with 4 Comments

It can be springtime anytime if you want it badly enough

Another table? I know it hasn’t been that long since I wrote about Social Courture’s put-it-together yourself all-inclusive tables, but Carolyne Roehm‘s tables rely less on tea lights and her retail store carries real silver and silver plate, unique dinnerware, and pretty glassware. While no one but the very well off will buy them to grace tables at a reception site, I could see purchasing part or all of this set for an in-home wedding and then treasuring the pieces for years thereafter.

The cake was created by fabulous New York cake designer Sylvia Weinstock, who has apparently been called the da Vinci of cakes. By whom, I don’t know, but there ya go. Roehm asked Weinstock to reinterpret her wonderful green eyelet wrapping paper–and it better be wonderful, considering it costs $18 for three sheets.

And for something a little different, if you want an invitation to what Cocktails by Jenn (a pre-mixed drink gift set company) is calling the ultimate bachelorette party, go here and enter for a chance to win a most-expenses paid weekend excursion to Las Vegas. The trip includes round-trip airfare, deluxe hotel accommodations for two nights, a catered private party, spa services, VIP nights on the town and one-of-a-kind gift bags. Sounds good to me–good luck!

    I’d love it if the little cakes were actual cakes. The pre-cake cutting cake!

    What a beautiful table that is! The only thing I’m not nuts about is the glasses. They look like cheap vintage glasses to me and, even though they match the settings, they just cheapen the whole thing.
