Table It! tabletop decor at Neiman Marcus Palm Beach draws hundreds

Palm Beach, FL (June 6, 2010) — The It! Girls were the talk of the town this spring, when the island’s hautest tastemakers gathered for a casual vernissage of the “Table It!” tabletop décor exhibition at Neiman Marcus Palm Beach. For the five-day event, Neiman Marcus invited It! Weddings & Events to design six themed tables inspired by events of their creation, such as a Bridesmaids’ High Tea, Brunch in the Garden and an Estate Rehearsal Dinner.

Nearly 100 guests attended the opening-day soiree, including Kathryn Vecellio, Julie Rudolph, Annie Falk, Brewer Schoeller, Elisabeth Munder, Terri Mersentes, Angela Culveyhouse, Beckie Stoddard and Kathryn Martin. The fresh mix of traditional and modern pieces chosen by the It! Girls from the store’s Gift Galleries was complimented by florals by Design Studio at The Breakers, paper goods by Stationer on Sunrise and confections by The Sugar Monkey.

“Our clients are well versed in tabletop design, yet they’re always looking for ways to wow their guests, many of whom have been wined and dined by the world’s foremost entertainers,” said It! Weddings & Events managing partner Aime Dunstan. “We have a ball taking their creativity to the next level, mixing traditional pieces with fun and funky accessories.”

Dunstan commissioned an aquatic centerpiece from Design Studio at The Breakers, complete with live goldfish and sculptural pincushion protea blooms, for the “Seaside Wedding Reception” table, which also included “Elysee” dinnerware by Bernardaud and Juliska stemware.

At the center of the grand display was a “Timeless Wedding Reception” themed table, on which Kim Seybert linen napkins and pagoda-inspired napkin ring holders accented J.L. Coquet’s “Hemisphere” charger, “J Chew” dinnerware by Limoges and Reidel crystal. An organic arrangement of pale pink cherry blossoms added height and volume.

The opening day afternoon soiree also included light bites by Café Boulud Palm Beach and wines by Bulletproof Wines & Spirits, as well as makeovers by YSL and an informal fashion show by Neiman Marcus.
