Bringing Two Families Together at a Welcoming Dinner



Ashley and Kenny chose to give their families a chance to meet and get to know one another at a casual Tuscan themed Welcoming Dinner at Oak Hills Country Club in Omaha.


Vintage decanters, grapevines, and wine created a casual Italian scene with branches of fresh viburnum berries.


A delightful touch of honeysuckle vines, lanterns and candles carried the theme through the cocktail area. 




Keeping the centrepieces low enables guests to ease into relaxed conversation.




With the rectangular tables set, the designs were stretched out in front of gathered friends and family.

Light Your Way


When you don't want to part with beloved art and it seems a little too small for your space, add lighting!


In this case, we position matching buffet lamps on the dining room buffet to bring the art to the appropriate scale. Editing small accessories and replacing them with two large glass vases to reflect the new light gives the dining room even more panache. A silk lady slipper orchid design on the table finishes the room with much-needed softness.
