I was so inspired by the imagery of the movie Black Swan. Call it the little girl in me, but I’m completely enamored by ballerinas and the gorgeous costumes. So I designed a tablescape to capture the glamour and drama of a ballerina who can play both the White Swan with innocence and grace, and the Black Swan, who represents guile and sensuality.

Here is the inspiration board

And here is our interpretation of Black Swan

We showcased this table design at Bridal Extravaganza and won best table gallery! All of my vendors absolutely blew me away on this one. The centerpiece by Savage Garden was nothing short than a work of art. The custom linen by I Do Linens were meticulously made and gave us a couture edge to the table. Stationery by Papered Wonders as always, was the perfect finishing touch to the table. And the cake by Sweet Sensations simply took my breath away. I have to give a special thank you to my 6 year old daughter Kristen who helped me paint the escort card frames. She is definitely developing a love for helping mommy with events!

Thanks to Shari Zellers for the photos.
