"A DAY IN PARIS"
The "Art of the Table" event was held at the Indianapolis Art Museum this past weekend. I was honored to be asked to create the centerpiece for Pam Monahan's table.
Pam is the owner of, Entertaining with a Flair, a boutique party rental and decorating firm, in Indianapolis. Pam's theme was "A Day in Paris." Girlfriends flying to Paris in search of the perfect dress. Pam is a very creative and talented event designer. I was impressed with her attention to every detail of the table decor.
My design was to give the feeling of a lunch cafe in Paris. I used a tall trumpet vase with an etched design that matched the details of Pam's favor boxes and the shape of her glasses. The vase was filled with fringed pink tulips that really gave a feeling of simple elegance. I also wanted to bring a fun girly element to the design and came up with the idea of filling purses with flowers as accent pieces. Pam loved the idea, and she found these great purses that I filled with a mixture of green and pink roses to bring out the colors on the table. I also used anemones, one of my favorite flowers, which really tied in the black and white detail of the table.
Thanks again, Pam! It was truly an honor to work with you. Visit Pam's website at http://www.entertainingwithaflair.com/ .
