It was literally ocean side dining on Bald Head Island….
I already had the dream team with me for a wedding so why not throw a photo shoot on top of all the madness after a 20 hour work day?!
I was excited when Ceci founder of Ceci New York approached me to help with her Virve inspiration tabletop feature. Check out part of the magazine below that posted on Ceci Style!
Ivy Robinson, my soul sister and quite the hip event designer, is famous for her bold use of color and fearless style (which you know I love!). She has a fantastic ability to always break the mold and create what’s never been done before. I am a big fan of taking risks with design and color and Ivy never ceases to amaze me. She is a girl who can come up with a look on a whim and wow us all. Like she did below with her beachfront – no, sorry – wave-front table setting. Yes, she actually brought the table to the water’s edge for this design challenge – talk about taking risks! Maybe not all of us can dine in the crashing waves, but we certainly can bring her daring style into our destination-themed dinner parties or backyard soirees. Be inspired, below.

Vivre Palm Table Setting by Ivy Robinson Weddings and Events:
When Ceci approached me with her Vivre design challenge, I was immediately drawn to the the palm leaves and pink birds. Now that it’s summer, I thought the beach would be the perfect setting for this bold color palette. Our goal was to create the unexpected while blending the use of natural elements such as the ocean, wooden tables and flowers with acrylic chairs. Placing the table right up against the waves added a fun twist to a nontraditional luncheon.
Ivy used palm leaf placemats and azalea bird place cards.
