Gilberto Espinoza-Friehoff , creative
director at
Dogwood & Fir in San Diego,
Calif., shared his inspiration about
the wedding tablescape featured on
Page 29: "We envisioned a wedding as
white as snow, with accents of gold and
ivory to give that feeling that winter
is coming with all its joy and whimsy.
Our tablescape was inspired by the
texture of a frosty winter forest, freshly
blanketed with snow. We incorporated
bleached dried flowers and preserved
foliage in white and cream hues. For the
table runner, we selected a delicate lace
overlay, which added a dose of intricacy
among the other whitish neutrals in our
overall look. We placed gold candelabra
with tall white candles throughout the
tablescape to set the ambiance for the
night. Perhaps our favorite piece of
the tablescape were the glass cloches
encasing white fairy lights that lit up
the evening with magic."

commercial and residential holiday
décor design firms, incorporates
trending colors with traditional
favorites and European influences into

tablescapes. Known as the "Queen of
Christmas" in the Houston area, Gust
often incorporates fresh Magnolia
leaves, pine and cedar, perhaps
accented with clear glass ornaments
and soft white twinkle lights into her
garland tablescapes, which generally
also comprise fresh flowers. She can
transition her clients' tablescapes from
anksgiving to Christmas to New Year's and beyond by simply changing
out the fresh botanicals. "Ornaments, glittery trees and other holiday props
really complement holiday table décor and gets everyone in the holiday spirit,"
Gust advises.
