This formal setting tucked in an arbor under a vine-covered trellis speaks of elegance. “The bold blacks of the chandelier and snakeskin covered chairs accompany the deep Kelly greens of the linens, enlivened by pops of gold and softened by pink peonies. Black ceramic compotes are crowned with verdant gardenia foliage and filled with an abundance of blush flowers.” Golden roses are woven throughout, which play off the gold-rimmed glasses and flatware. Lanterns holding gold pillar candles hang from above.

Cocktail: Grand Rosé Mimosa:
Pour ½ ounce of Grand Marnier into a flute, add a splash of rosewater (just enough so that you can smell the roses), fill with rosé Champagne. Garnish with 1 or 2 rose petals placed delicately on top. Et voila!
