I designed the cake to go with the lace-patterned tableware "Something Borrowed" from Mikasa. 

My passion for fine art inspired a lot of fun ideas for styling this dinner party in an artists New York studio. The pattern for the plate is Brushstroke Square by Mikasa. I hand painted the napkins because I couldn't find any with the Fall colors I was looking for. I found the miniature palettes, which I transformed into napkin rings with black ribbon, and the easel place card holder online.
