CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Let’s look at more of the
imaginative themed tabletop designs in
Entertaining By Design at the Ohio Design
Centre in Beachwood. This event, held this
month, featured more than 30 themed tabletop
and entertaining vignettes created by local
designers.
Yesterday, (http://https
//blog.advance.net/cgi-bin/mte/mt.cgi?__mode=view&_type=entry&
id=11634254&blog_id=3725)we looked at table settings inspired by the Tuscany
woods, an icy and elegant Italian winter wedding and a formal garden party. Today, we
talk to designers who imagined a 1920s Parisian brunch, a dinner party in an enchanted
forest and an intimate wedding celebration.
I’ve included product lists so that you can shop like an interior decorator, but be aware
that some showrooms deal only with professional designers.
Design: “Bubbles, Brunch and LaBoheme: An Elegant and Fun Brunch”
Barrie Spang with Lee Meier (http://www.leemeier.com/%C3%A2%C2%80
%C2%8E)Interiors Inc. in Westlake. This entry won the Best in Show award
during Entertaining by Design.
Imagine sitting down to a lingering brunch at a 1920s Parisian apartment. As wine is
sipped and macaroons nibbled, the guests -- Ernest and Hadley Hemingway, F. Scott
and Zelda Fitzgerald, Gertrude Stein and Ezra Pound – argue about literature, art and
life.
That’s the vision that Spang had in mind when she designed “Bubbles, Brunch and
LaBoheme: An Elegant and Fun Brunch.” Tiny painted portraits of each famous guest –
created by a friend of Spang – were at each seat.
Her bold color palette teamed purple with orange, and the colors burst from a pair of
exuberant floral arrangements of roses, hydrangeas and winter berries in white vases. “I
envisioned all shades of orange and all shades of purple,” Spang said.
Many designers used the space above the table to advance their theme. Spang hung

round glass bulbs from the ceiling and filled them with pearls (“a nod to the 1920s,” she
said), feathers and candles.
And, she assured me, those were real eat-them-now macaroons charmingly served in
champagne flutes.
Inspiration: The romance of 1920s Paris.
Coolest touch: Champagne corks as place card holders.
Steal this idea: A rockin’ table setting doesn’t have to be pricey; Spang used purple
glasses from TJ Maxx and her personal candlesticks, china and silverware.

Design: “An Intimate Wedding Affair: Bespoke Nuptial Celebrations” by
Dawn Cook, Dawn Cook Design (http://dawncookdesign.com/%C3%A2
%C2%80%C2%8E) in Shaker Heights. This entry won the Most Over-the
Top award given during Entertaining by Design.
Cook chose art deco glassware, a vintage birdcage, reclaimed wood blocks and
letter-press invitations and menus for her conception of a head table for a very
personalized yet Bohemian wedding. “Everything has a lot of texture,” Cook said; even

the table runner was embroidered with sequins.
Hues of plum, gold, blush pink, blue and chocolate created a warm, relaxed feeling.
Cook even included wedding favors and an antique wedding dress from Miranda’s
Vintage Wedding Gowns. Silver-leafed beeswax candles and art deco candle holders
added a touch of glamor that reminds guests that they are attending a very special
dinner party.
Inspiration: Bohemian wedding.
Coolest touch: Napkins that look like a folded men’s tuxedo shirts.
Best theme tie-in: A vintage hotel room key for each guest.
Steal this idea: Place a sprig of rosemary or another aromatic herb at every place
setting to engage the senses.

Design: “Evening in the Enchanted Forest: Dinner Party Under the Stars”
Marissa Matiyasic, Anne Raby and Angela Potts, Reflections Interior
Design (http://www.reflectionsinteriordesign.net/) in Cleveland Heights.
This design was the winner of the People’s Choice Award, chosen by a vote
of attendees at Entertaining by Design.
You had to look up to fully appreciate this tablescape. Suspended over the table was a
large chandelier made of magnolia branches draped with ivy, moss and twinkle lights.
Fresh flower blooms and submergable lights in glass bulbs hung from ceiling, giving the
feeling of being inside a fairy’s bower.
The tabletop’s outdoorsy palette of green and purple was inspired by flower
arrangements of kale, mums and orchids.
“It’s casual, organic and magical,” said Marissa Matiyasic, one of the interior designers
who created “Evening in the Enchanted Forest.” Loew’s Greenhouse helped to construct
the branch chandelier, Matiyasic said; the ivy and magnolia branches came from her
garden.
Inspiration: The table had a base that suggested a bird cage.
Coolest touch: Moss glued to foam core board and attached to the backs of chairs.
Best theme tie-in: Mats of real moss as placemats and wood slabs as chargers.
Steal this idea: Wrap gifts for guests in scraps of wallpaper to pull in interesting
textures and patterns.
