One of the most fun things for me to do when getting for a party or dinner is coordinating the table décor with the type of food that I’m serving. For example, if I do a Greek meal, I’ll do an ethnic Greek blue and white tablescape. As I’m decorating, I think about what the country looks like and I try to match the décor to the scenery. I think that makes dinner interesting and something talk to about, a conversation piece. Whether it’s simple or fancy, I always try to make my table decorative. If I were doing seafood, I’d do the shells, the color of the ocean, and the sky, the birds, shells, lanterns remind me of lighthouses.

Shopping for the décor to do my tablescapes took a long time because I wanted it to look authentic. I had a lot of fun putting all of the colors together, lots of reds and golds and purples. Looking for all of the décor led me to meet lots of different people, like a Moroccan vendor who finally found the decorative camels that I had been searching for. They complete my tablescape perfectly, and add personality and flare. Of all the exotic tablescapes that I have created, the Moroccan design is the prettiest.
