Fab Fetes: Diffa 2011 Part 2
In my last Diffa post, I showed you how different designers created mealtime masterpieces out of the same 10’x10′ space. I had so many photos that I had to split up the upload into 3 entries. Here is part 2!
Everyone has seen tree centerpieces but what about an acid green one? I loved the customized polka-dot rug.
When I stopped by this booth, I was so busy looking at the tulip centerpiece sitting on top of a rose platform and noticing how the cool blue in the plates was echoed above that I didn’t notice the faux cityscape painted faintly onto the sheet backdrop. Here’s a close-up of the centerpiece.
I found it peculiar how they deliberately untucked the spoon at each place setting. From here on out, I made it a point to check out the variety in napkin folding and tableware placement and found that just focusing on this one detail could result in a multitude of inspirations and ideas.
The next patterned dining area by Echo knotted their scarf – like napkins, fitting for this company.
Here is the fuller view. What do you think?
And for a royal wedding viewing party, here is the perfect dining table. Check out the dinner plates!
This next sunny table design featured asymmetrical linens with tableware laid across the plate.
I loved the scalloped chargers and furry seat cushions.
The video better allows you to appreciate the changing background.
This next pure white design reminded me of something you might find in a loungey Miami restaurant. My favorite feature was the upside down tree branch centerpiece with white flowers. I’ve seen attached flowers to branches but never feathers. Unique!
Did you notice the cotton-filled clear canister centerpieces?
The Coke sponsored table of course featured red Coke bottles and one red chair amongst the white chairs. It also echoed the red/white theme with red tipped napkins and bottle-like textured plates and overhead lights. Centerpieces were clear glass Coke bottles. Smart!

Which one was your favorite?
