Table Designs

I did this table design for a recent bridal luncheon that I hosted. The color pallette was dark coral with a hint of lime green - what a pretty color combination. It was simple but very sophisticated! Each guest had a small trivet that I painted white and then distressed with beige. I filled the trivets with scented potpourri, small seashells, white pebbles and a larger seashell.

The table was decorated with gold plate chargers and a very large market basket full of seashells and white stones and adorned with dried roses and embellishments for the bride-to-be!

Stay tuned for upcoming news in 2010!

Elegant Chaos is very excited to be announcing some new services in 2010 so be sure to stay tuned. This past year has opened many new doors and opportunities and I want to thank my family and friends for their continued support. They always encourage me to pursue my passion for decorating and design.

I look forward to 2010 and wish each of you a Happy New Year.
