When we hear about an event that supports the Greater Tucson community, we jump at the chance to spread the word. Last Sunday, St Luke’s Home hosted the 16th Annual Sensational Settings Event and it was a huge success!

Participants designed tablescapes for attendees to browse and gather design ideas; Bella Janssen of Bella Bride Weddings and Events designed a fresh and fun table that you just have to see:

Here’s what Bella has to say about her “Let Them Eat Cake” table (her enthusiasm is infectious!): The colors are white with lime green and dark green accents. The linen is white and I used dark green and lime green ribbons across the table. This gives a creative touch and eliminates runners and chargers;  Jaynie (of Ambrosia of Tucson and Mini’s Cupcakes) made a cake that serves 8 to 10 guest and this replaces the flowers for a typical centerpiece. If using this idea at an event, each table would have their own cake.  I will also use apples around the table and place a chalkboard marker inside that can be used as seating cards.”

A Fine Line Stationery and Gift Boutique also set up a table that embraced metallics in a very elegant way

The placemats are cut wood- aren’t they beautiful?

Annette Hartman Catering also designed a table that was on the more traditional side-it’s set for tea!

Great work everybody! Chatting Soon~Kelly

Since there will be pretty dresses and possibly traveling in your near future, I thought you should know about a very hip garment bag we just came across: Jendarling Bags. Now, I realize garment bags are not the most glamorous wedding topic but what goes in your garment bag quite often IS glamorous, right?

It makes no sense to schlep your beautiful rehearsal dinner dress, perfect wedding day shoes, or brand new honeymoon threads in a cheapy thin plastic dry cleaner’s garment bag. I can almost guarantee it will rip and your precious clothing will not fare well. Jendarling Bags founder Jen Bennett is an environmentalist at heart so she wanted to create a line of bags that were made from eco-friendly fabrics but still had chic appeal. I think she’s succeeded!

These gorgeous bags are also a perfect bridesmaid gift- they are pretty enough that your gals will want to pack their bridesmaid dresses in them and they’re practical enough that they will get many many years of use out of them too. There are also shoe bags to compliment the garment bag fabrics:

Love these! See a video from Jendarling Bags founder Jen Bennett:
