Alice Bar

The Alice bar has a light wood tone—a stark contrast to the Collins bar. Its coloring and intricate lattice detail give it an airy and inviting look. We particularly enjoy using Alice in outdoor settings like gardens and meadows, though it can be a beautiful indoor piece too. It works year-round, but spring is when it truly shines.

Style it with: Classic glass beverage jar, rattan stand, Pure glassware, whimsical pastel florals

Perfect for: Garden parties, or bohemian-style celebrations, outdoor weddings, relaxed family reunions, baby showers

Long tables have a way of making people stay.

This outdoor setup at @ediblenashtn kept it simple — sage floral plates, beaded glassware, fresh air. But it's the format that does the work. One long table changes how guests interact, how conversations move, and how an event actually feels to be at. 🌿

Warm tones just feel good to sit in.

Olive, taupe, a little gold to catch the light. Nothing too polished, nothing too rustic. Just that in-between that feels relaxed but still pulled together 🥰

This one doesn’t whisper, and that’s the point 🌸🌼

Blue and white, bright florals, patterned linens, and just enough detail to keep your eye moving the whole time. Gatsby coupe glassware, beaded chargers, little moments everywhere you look. It’s playful, but still pulled together.

The difference is usually in the details. And lately, it’s been pillows ✨

They’re one of the easiest ways to shift a lounge without reworking the whole setup. Add color, bring in texture, or tie everything back to the rest of the event. Take a look at our new collection of stunning pillows that will make your next event extra cozy!

Wood on wood… but make it fresh 🤍

At Cedarmont Farm, the setting already brings all the warmth. Wood tables, wood chairs, the whole space working in the same tone. Add crisp white linens and suddenly it feels lighter, brighter, and a little more modern without losing the charm.

Green on green done right doesn’t blend in. It builds.

Different shades, different textures, a little pattern mixed in. Wood tones to ground it, florals to soften it, and tableware that keeps it all feeling polished 💚

Skip the bar backup. Grab-and-go champagne is a quick way to get the first round in guests' hands and prevent a huge line from forming at the start of the reception 🥂🍾
