DINNER PARTY THEME INSPIRATION: GO BEYOND THE USUAL!
Want your tablescape to stand out? Here’s how to turn tradition into something unforgettable.
Working on a dinner party theme and craving something new and original? Take it from our Creative Director, Steven "Steve" Sasam — sometimes the best way forward is to look back and give it your own unique twist.
Take this Hacienda-Themed Wedding Tablescape, which earned double Gold at the Cebu Goes Culinary 2010 Table Setting Competition.
It all began with a simple concept: Filipiniana Weddings. From there, Steve explored Spanish influences — from architecture to romance — and narrowed in on the idea of the Hacienda. Think intricate gates, rustic textures, and heritage charm. The result? A story-rich setting that turned heads and won gold.
When designing with a theme, start with your story — your point of view. Let that lead the way. Stay focused. Edit with intention. The magic is in the details.
