February Dinner Club
IN PERFECT HARMONY
For February’s dinner club, inspiration came unexpectedly from a thrifted vintage piano scroll. The moment I saw it, a vision formed: the scroll cascading down the wall, framed by fresh flowers. From there, the evening unfolded naturally with flowing ivory linens, blush tones, abundant candlelight, and music softly filling the room.

The Experience
The guests were welcomed with soft music, glowing candlelight, personalized charcuterie cups, and the evening’s signature cocktail.
The true “wow” moment came when entering the dining room. The vintage piano scroll flowed down the wall and over the sideboard, framed by cascading floral arrangements and surrounded by warm candlelight.
The table and sideboard were draped in ivory linens tied with blush silk ribbon bows. Each chair featured a handmade floral cone crafted from sheet music, finished with ribbon and a wax seal, and filled with fresh flowers that mirrored the wall installation.
The effect was romantic, layered, and welcoming.
Signature Sips: Blush & Bloom
The evening’s signature cocktail was a Blush & Bloom, a light, floral drink that complemented the romantic palette of the evening.
Blush & Bloom: ½ oz gin or vodka // ½ oz elderflower liqueur // ½ oz fresh lemon juice // ¼ - ½ oz simple syrup // Top with Prosecco // Rose petal ice
Each cocktail was served in a pink coupe glass with a large ice sphere embedded with rose petals. A small detail that added both beauty and a subtle nod to the evening’s floral inspiration.

The Tablescape
The table was designed to feel romantic, soft, and layered.
Vintage thrifted floral dinnerware rested on pearl pink chargers with soft gauze napkins, paired with pink coupe glasses for the cocktail and coordinating pink goblets for water.
A vintage silver flower frog held a small floral centerpiece surrounded by glass hurricanes and ivory taper candles. The abundance of candlelight created a warm glow throughout the evening.
Everything sat atop flowing ivory linens tied with long silk ribbon bows, creating a tablescape that felt timeless and thoughtfully composed.
A Shared Craft
Handmade sheet music flower cones hung from the back of each chair.
Tied with silk ribbon and finished with was seals, each cone held fresh flowers that mirrored the wall arrangement, serving as both decor and a keepsake from the evening. A reminder of a night shared In Perfect Harmony.
