Entertain at Home: Pretty Party Inspiration
categories: easter, floral design, mother's day, wedding ideas
Megan from Real Weddings – (an Australian-based magazine that recently launched a shiny new website!) – sent over some beautiful inspiration to share from one of their photo shoots.
These images are from an “Entertain at Home” feature that was a collaboration between British fashion designer Jasper Conran and Waterford Crystal.
The tablescape & party decor was designed to coordinate with Conran’s Chinoiserie tableware (see below), and boasts a lovely palette of soft greens, purples, and periwinkle blues. Would this look be great for an Easter or Mother’s Day brunch?!
I’m especially loving the gorgeous floral arrangements, which feature Delphinium, Lily of the Valley, Blue Bells, and Cornflowers…
The menu:
• Confit scampi with egg custard sauce vierge
• Seared quail breast with cauliflower foam, white asparagus and Iranian cous cous
• Chocolate fondant with a berry compote
Dinnerware and Tabletop Elements:
• Jasper Conran at Wedgwood ‘Chinoiserie’ green and ‘Chinoiserie’ white plates
• Vera Wang for Wedgwood ‘Chime’ Cutlery
• ‘Aura’ wine glasses, ‘Aura’ round vase, and ‘Eternal’ tumblers from Jasper Conran at • Waterford Crystal
• Waterford Crystal ‘Siren’ champagne flutes

I LOVE delphiniums, they are fairly inexpensive here in SoCal, and make such a striking centerpiece! Love this!
