Julian Leaver and Sarah Kane of Julian Leaver Events are the incredible duo that delivers the type of wedding ceremony and reception aesthetics that look like they were made for your best friend's super cool, slightly elusive older sister. You feel us? There is always a little something unexpected, a little something couture, and always a lot of highly curated cool. Peruse these headturning tablescapes we can't soon forget (and you won't want to).
BEYOND BRIDAL BLUE WITH GINORI
Yes, pretty and provocative can live in the same sentence, especially for a modern bride dreaming in Pervinca's perwinkle blue. This aesthetic is for the bride who wants uber traditional elements but on her terms. Her reception? The Ritz. Her honeymoon? Italy. Her registry? Every color of Oriente Italiano.

The Hero Piece: GINORI PERVINCA CHARGER
Tradition and craftsmanship intertwined with timeless beauty? Say less! The storied Ginori 1735 house presented the Oriente Italiano Collection in 2020, daring to combine artistic porcelain traditions with an East-meets-West mentality. The result was an iconic china pattern in highly original shades that have gone on every tastemaker's want list since. We love Pervinca for weddings, but all eleven colors shine in their own authentic light.

A STATEMENT MAKING CHARGER
A show-stopping charger really is all you need to set a sophisticated feel for an unforgettable evening at The Ritz. While it's not strictly ballroom, the Royal Limoge Paradis Bleu Charger demands attention with a distinctively tasteful tone. This is for the bride who loves the classics with a touch of contemporary cool at The Thompson Hotel.

The Hero Piece: ROYAL LIMOGE PARADIS BLEU
Handmade in France, this elegant design is a must for the couture bride with a joyful heart. Introduced in 1914, Paradis Bleu was the artistic response to WW1, framing hope in a world torn apart by war. We love it Paradis Bleu for its eternal spring of hope on an authentic Limoges porcelain. Proof that high-class and high-drama go hand-in-hand.

BLUSHING OVER BRUNCH
Who doesn't want a slightly (or dramatically) more feminine flair for their bridal luncheon or brunch tablescapes? Pretty in pink has been the mood for a moment for such an occasion, and when mixed with floral-forward patterns, it's a girly go-to we can always get behind. Of course, this look was styled for the Rosewood Mansion in Dallas, which even further proves our point of classy and colorful playing well together.
