Alright so. I will admit my weaknesses [slash] ‘learning curve’ on this little project. None of the overall images really panned out to my preferred quality. So, again, props to pro photographers that make it all look sultry and beautiful. I’m still working on that aspect. So while these images still provide snippets, they’re the best that I have.

The rundown:

Table linen / fabric from Grayline Linens in NYC. Discount wall.
Dinner Plate / Jasper Conran for Wedgewood
Salad Plate / Crate and Barrel Holiday // years ago
Flatware / thrifted silverplate // ebay, et al.
Napkin / Dwell Studio // sample sale from NYC – check West Elm, or find some awesome fabric and make your own
Stemless Wine Glass / Reidel
Water Glass / Pint-size mason jar
Silver Pitcher / Pottery Barn
Cut glass bowl / Homegoods
Wood Cheeseboard / Herriott Grace [a beautiful wedding gift from a very very smart friend]
