Every year some of the top designers in Atlanta gather for a friendly design competition. This year at 200 Peachtree was no different as all of the vendors held nothing back as they put on the show of a lifetime with their table displays.  From whimsical to Swan lake, each designer put their unique spin and showed all the elements for a great table which includes, placecards, menus and all the other little details it takes to make a table come alive.

We hate that we were not able to make it this year but wanted to still share with you some of the amazing images Artstar Photography shared with us. Thank you Laura for letting us all live through your lens!

Ok now on to the art. I do not know the designers of each table but if you have any questions I will be sure to find out for ya. If you are a designer and would love to have your name next to your fabulous design, let me know and I will add it! Now on to the eye candy.

We start off with this regal sculptured cake in hues of ivory and navy.

This nautical inspired tablescape was the perfect mix of different shared of blue while incorporating the outdoors with the use of shells, water beads, birch and crystals. 

Loving the names on the chair as place cards.

The highlight of this table for me was the monogram initial on the seat cushion.

Secret garden inspired table.  We love the pearls intertwined with the light draping.

Loving this fresh look of peaches and bling.

On the contrary to the peaches we have just seen above, the yellow and black looks amazing and definitely can give your guests the wow factor as they enter the room.

These placecards/favors are to DIE for!

Another post up soon with more fabulous designs.

I am always so amazed at the great job that Laura by Artstar does. Everything about her work seems timeless.  I guess what I love most about her photos is her attention to detail. Laura understands all of the hard work that planners and designers puts into creating or recreating a special moment. Of course we were giddy when she sent us these images from a recent Atlanta event.

Loving the look of Piedmont Park

This graffiti wall is a staple for picture backdrop for engagement photos here in Atlanta

The iconic Sweet Auburn Avenue

Loving the harvest in front of the Virginia Highlands

All decor was done by the fabulous Event Design Group.

The amazing Laura Stone of ArtStar Photography has done it again by capturing some amazing images from a recent Nace Design Trend Competition. The design competition of the Atlanta Chapter of Nace, forces event professionals to BRING IT! Pull out all of the stops to win one of the most prestigious event awards.

Everyone in the industry always looks forward to this event since it is not only great designs to gather inspiration from, but also great food, drinks and time with friends. Here are a few of the tables competing:

What I love most about planning events is that inspiration is stemmed literally from any and everything. An event can be staged for a charity auction and you can then use a piece of that inspiration for a birthday party for 12.  Laure Stone from Artstar Photography, graciously shared images from an event at St. Regis designed again by A Legendary Event.

What I loved most about this design was the use of reflective vases and glass everywhere.  It gives you the illusion that a lot more flowers were used then it really was. Definitely swoon worthy design.

In case you missed the previous photos from Laura check them out here.

This month event professionals around Atlanta were invited to a night of luxury and inspiration from a legendary event and the St. Regis. I just had to share these amazing pictures from Laura at Artstar Photography.  Everything from the decor to the food was undeniably good.  There is no doubt that the St. Regis will be the definition of all these luxury when it comes to event venues in Atlanta.

Special thanks to the Atlantan Brides for extending the invitation.
