A second inspiration for The Perfect Picnic was this table top. It won the Grand Champion at the 2021 Great Geauga County Fair, which means the judges voted it the best of all the tables in the competition.
It was my first time entering the Table Top Design competition and I believe my 20+ years as an interior designer and home stager was my secret weapon for taking home the grand prize. I bring an award-winning designer eye to curating, styling, and staging the picnic experiences I create.
The theme of this table was a Bridal Brunch. The imaginary happy couple were leaving for a tropical honeymoon to Bora Bora. I selected the table skirt because it reminded me of the turquoise water around Bora Bora (where my hubby and I honeymooned!) Every detail supported the theme: from the crab salt and pepper shakers to the bamboo-handled utensils. While it’s a lot of work to curate, created, pack, haul, set up and take down a setup for the perfect picnic, when done right, it’s a magical experience for those who get to enjoy.
