Ever feel like you get wrapped up in all the hoopla of overly done events, extensive placesettings and centerpieces that have more components than you do fingers & toes? Check out this picture that was stumbled upon from a BFF weekend away in South Beach two years ago. It was a rainy night, and on a tip from a bartender from The Standard Hotel, were we told us about Casa Tua Restaurant.Luck would have it that the chefs table was completely open that night but set for a feast anyways! Check out how absolutely stunning and simple these orchid bud vases and perfectly symmetrical votives look?
Not only was it one of the most amazing meals and VIP dining experience ever (still raving two years later) but it was such a simple statement that as forever stuck in my mind. Maybe it will stick in yours for your next event decor too..........
PS: I collect plates from different restaurants that I've dined at from around the world as a memento of who/what/when/where. I was lucky enough to flirt just enough with the waiter to give me one of theirs too. Check it out......adorable.
