Tango with a Tangerine :: dance partner #1 – Shiraz

When I think Shiraz, I think rich, full bodied, and rich round flavors of black cherry, blackberry, plum, bell pepper, black pepper, clove, licorice, and dark chocolate. Of course, I am thinking of the wine, but the same treatment of though can and should be applied to this intense color and it’s pairing. With such an intense starting color, our design can take us anywhere. If you’re looking for the rich, intense and rounded accents to pair with the color of the year, I’ve found a fabulous event table design for you to indulge in today.

Let’s apply our qualities of Shiraz to the linens, chair covers, and floral selections and see what we get!

Our Tangerine peppered throughout the floral design muddled with shades of plum, blackberry and black cherry in clusters retains the bright flavors to the dark linens.

Beautiful gold rimmed stemware and flatware, gold accent trays and candle holders, and gold rimmed china provide the perfect stage for our Shiraz and Tangerine tango duo to shine.

Why this works:: This design is gorgeous on the long banquet table and could easily pair with a round or square setting with a few adjustments. The custom trims and details are what truly set this table apart from the average table linens and chair covers, so it may be best suited for a family table or the bridal party table. However, trimming down some of the linen accents, while maintaining the floral display would still retain the integrity of the design which could be used more widespread throughout out your guest tables.

What I love:: I am absolutely in love with the color combination, the richness of the fabrics, the added detail touch to the chair covers and edging of the table linen. The beautiful rose perched on the vibrant napkin is also a huge favorite of mine. Finally the cluster combination of roses and orchids, instead of the widespread mix of the flowers, to me is very striking and the bold choices are what make this tablescape sensational.

What do you think? What do you LOVE about this table?

 

A Girls Best Friend

No, I’m not talking about diamonds, though I originally planned to add them to this collection of images. However, my spark of imagination for today grows from the beautiful cacao plant! Yes, my imagination is brimming with Chocolate and my favorite chocolate treats!

For Valentine’s Day weekend, I wanted to deliver the biggest box of chocolate to all my readers, without the calories. So enjoy! But beware, this is a very decadent and sweet imagination, so Death by Chocolate is possible. Grab a latte, and partake with care.

We would live in chocolate if we could – right ladies! But the ultimate dream melts, breaks, and gets eaten by women and children alike! So Death by Cocoa is chocolate from every side – dark, milk and white!

One of my favorite flavor combinations is dark chocolate and citrus. I love the sharp bite of a sour fruit mingled with the ribbon texture of bitter dark chocolate. No Hershey’s or Godiva for this girl. I want the real deal – 100% dark chocolate to infuse my taste buds. Translating that sharp contrast was a lot of fun.

What would chocolate be without a sweet partner like oranges. Another delightful flavor palette and an equally delightful color palette for our Chocolate Orange Twist Imagination Board.

And while White Chocolate is really not chocolate at all (check out the definition), I found a collection of amazing bridal dresses by Scott Corridan
entitled White Chocolate Label. For the girl after my heart, you can wrap yourself in Chocolate – white chocolate that is!
