Robin’s Egg Blue and Coral Tablescape featured at the 2013 NACEY’s
Posted on: 5/6/2013  by Angela


The 2013 NACEY’s award event was the perfect opportunity for Classic Party Rentals of Virginia’s design duo, Angela Smith and Honeylyn Armstrong to put their heads and hearts together and create a stunning tablescape. We asked Honeylyn to give us some insight into the creative process that led to this whimsical, colorful and ethereal table.

She shared that the first meeting to discuss the design turned into a marathon Pinterest session. The designers wanted to do something colorful that used a linen that was not in their regular inventory. They brainstormed a wide variety of designs that included using a moss covered linen to create a garden theme, and striped linens for a graphic vintage circus look. La Tavola’s Pinterest page finally inspired them with geometric patterns in Robin’s Egg Blue.

It took weeks to piece together the other elements. Honeylyn and Angela settled on a mixed pattern tablescape with lots of color. They honed in on an aqua linen with coral napkins, and secured melamine plates with patterns to mix and match at each setting.

The centerpiece baffled Honeylyn. Another trip down Pinterest’s rabbit hole of fabulousness turned her on to some glue and yarn balls that were drool-inspiring. Always up for a major craft project, she and office assistant, Alex, dived in to the project the Friday before the NACEY’s event.Up to their elbows in cold Elmer’s glue, the team wrapped hundreds of yards of pearl cotton around mini balloons to create the shape they desired, while simultaneously painting stripes on chair pad covers they rescued from the yard sale pile.

The yarn balls dried over the weekend and on Monday, the team popped all the balloons, then assembled the balls into the centerpiece. This was Honeylyn’s favorite part because it was a fun craft project that yielded a playful and elegant centerpiece. It offered a great alternative to a traditional flower arrangement.

Clearly the investment of time and talent was worth it, as the final product was stunning. We hope you enjoy these photos, courtesy of Stephanie Yonce Photography as much as we did!
