This past week we participated in a NACE (National Association of Catering Executives)  tabletop design contest held at the beautiful grounds of Wilson Vineyards.  Along with eleven other fabulous tabletops, our table was awarded first runner up by our peers and judges.  Each and every table was unique in itself, and it was a true treat to see some of Sacramento’s best talent under one roof!

Our team consisted of:

Aimee Wendell with Plan A Events:  Wedding and Corporate Planning.  Aimee had the vision for this tabletop.  She knew she wanted to use purples and greens and have a tall arrangement for the centerpiece.  With gold accents and green infused stemware, this table was decadent!  Aimee chose a light menu which would be fitted for an outdoor brunch.  Favors consisted of herb inspir

ed reed diffusers for guests to take home as a memento.

Patty Garanto with Simply Elegant Day:  Rentals of linens, chair covers, and tableware.  Patty provided the rich linens including a lilac underlay which “peeked” out of the moss crinkle finish overlay.  Gold chivari chairs and gold chargers tied the look together.

Botanica Floral Designs:  Florals, decor rentals.  This towering centerpiece canopied over guests seated below.  Hanging purple dendrobium orchids along with gold manzanita, crystals and glowing votives created an ambience of a wooded forest.  Purple lights peered out from the floral spray atop and below.  Interesting items used included: green lotus pods, purple allium, miniature purple phalenopsis orchids, purple carnations, and other purple accents.
