That’s Entertaining
Celebrity Tablescapes literally brings a world of ideas
to the table at the second annual event and competition
F
or the second year, Nashville
Lifestyles partnered with the T.J.
Martell Foundation in a fundraiser
centered around original design
and entertaining talent in our area.
A multitude of designers partnered
with both local and international celebrities to
create ideal table settings based upon a single
theme.
These aren’t just typical dinner party set-ups, but
rather triumphs in creativity. Each design team
made every effort to put together a spectacular
table full of elements that reflected the celebrity’s
taste, talents and, of course, the theme. Although
there were only a handful of winners, each entry
was truly spectacular and deserving of recognition,
which is why we’ve chosen to feature each one on
our pages. Not only did we want to showcase the
participants for their efforts, but to share with
you their ideas in hopes you might find some
inspiration for your next entertaining project.
Enjoy ...
