Tablescape Styling in Chicago

Chicago Luxury Picnic & Decoration by Paula designs layered tablescapes for dinner parties, showers, birthdays and holidays, set from end to end before your guests sit down, across Chicago and the suburbs.

A beautiful table changes how an evening feels before anyone says a word. Paula designs tablescapes layer by layer: linens and runners, chargers and plates, folded napkins, glassware, candles, menus or place cards, and fresh flowers.

Her tables range from boho long tables with taper candles to sage runners and gold chargers, burgundy satin with red roses, and bright orange runners for a summer dinner. When picnic season ends, she brings the same detail to Thanksgiving and Christmas tables at home or in restaurants.

Every place setting styled, not just the centerpiece

A great table is more than a centerpiece. Paula sets every seat with matching chargers, napkins, glassware and a personal touch like a menu or name card, so each guest feels expected.

She brings the décor pieces and dinnerware needed for the look, and confirms the table count and sizes with your venue first.

A color story that runs through the whole table

Paula starts with a palette and repeats it down the table in napkins, candles, flowers and runners. Burgundy and gold, sage and white, peach and orange, or blush and pink all work when they are carried through consistently.

Send your invitation or inspiration and she will build the palette from it.

Holiday tables without the stress

Hosting Thanksgiving or Christmas is a lot. Paula can design and set your holiday table at home before family arrives, so you can focus on the meal. One client’s Thanksgiving table was styled by Paula, and she has decorated homes for Christmas too.

Food is never included, since Paula is a décor designer, but she will style the table so your dishes look their best on it.
