It was 10 p.m. the night before this photo shoot and I was at a close friend’s child’s wedding. It had been a busy day, and I hadn’t had the time to set the table. The dishes, cutlery, and stemware were all still in boxes, the flowers were in buckets…
I mentioned to a friend that I had to head home to prepare for the next day. This friend doesn’t have a personal passion for party setups, so she asked me, “Do people really do it?”
I explained that what gives us the most joy is not necessarily hearing that our tablescape was copied to the T, but rather that readers adapted it to their own style, their own budget, and their own time limitations. In a case like this, to one person that might mean buying two different colored plastic tablecloths and paper goods at the dollar store; another person might like the way the carnations are set inside the vase; a third person might choose to buy a new fun set of stemware; and of course to many this is just what we call eye candy.
