About the Tablescape: “When designing this space I sought out to create a dreamy tablescape—one that would transport guests into a magical world evoking beauty and enchantment,” Candice Quinn says. “I was inspired by nature and elements of the French countryside. My vision was to create an inviting space with a hint of romance by covering the table with flowers. The handmade plates brought in an earthy element and paired well with the florals. The raw alabaster votives placed on the table create a soft glow through the natural alabaster and the soft linens made in France brought in some elegance. The champagne flatware and textured glasses finished it off by creating warmth and texture.”

Led by Maria Zambrano, the firm focuses on designing interior and exterior spaces. Whether a new construction or a beautiful remodel, they will collaborate fully with your architect and builder.
About the Tablescape: “My inspiration for this tablescape came from my last European trip in April,” Maria Zambrano says. “Late lunch on a weekend can be the main meal of the day in any of these European quaint towns. I was reminiscing about a villa in Bordeaux France with a covered patio with wisteria hanging down and this beautiful tablescape of fresh citrus scent. These endless among family and friends while sharing stories and laughter bring everlasting memories of joy and companionship.”
“Hence the casualness of the tableware. However, all materials presented were natural materials from the napkins all the way to the plates, chargers, napkin holders etc.”
