I'm finally back and playing catch up! We had an amazing trip, spending 5 days at the farmhouse HammerSky Vineyards {where we were married in June '09!} and then styling a wedding there on Sunday! {congrats Amy & Mike!!}
The wedding was gorgeous! Can't wait to share photos. One of my favorite elements was the long dining table shared by all 37 guests and the family-style meal they shared. And I'm very lucky because 2 of my weddings next year are already planning a family style dinner as well...love that!
Here is a board to inspire those of you who are planning a family style dinner party, wedding or brunch.
Think big platters placed on the table being the main focus decor-wise, along with small, simple florals, bottles of wine, carafes of water and flickering votives.

A family style meal is precisely what I've always wanted to do for my wedding. There's nothing like talking, laughing and passing around a giant bowl of pasta.

rustic sophistication!
I'd love to put all of those food and beverages on my table. I love those tables by the way.
The dining tables or tables in general are indeed the main focus of many different events, decor-wise. Tables are usually the stars of many gatherings. They can be more compelling if there are great table setting and food arrangement.
