A Perfect Mix
1. Bryan Huffman
North Carolina designer Bryan Huffman’s style shines through his fresh take on traditional. “How does one take such traditional elements as Royal Crown Derby, Flora Danica, Tiffany, Kirk Stieff, William Yeoward and Waterford and make a table feel young and fresh?” Huffman asks. “Mix it up by adding Anna Weatherley chargers, straw placemats and Indian block print napkins. Mingle various china, silver and crystal patterns and toss in plenty of brightly colored blossoms to create a marvelous ‘high/low’ mix of relaxed glamour and formality coupled with modern texture and pattern.”
China: Anna Weatherley chargers; Royal Crown Derby Red Aves dinner plates; Royal Copenhagen Flora Danica Fungi collection soup bowls, St. Louis Thistle crystal flutes; Waterford Curraghmore crystal goblets; William Yeoward Pearl wine glasses.
Flatware: Tiffany Chrysanthemum; Reed & Barton Francis I, and Kirk Stiff Repousse.
Various silverwares: Fisher Silversmiths mint juleps, and Kirk Stieff Repousse tureen, salt cellars, and pepper shaker.
Gilded Glory
2. Shannon Ggem
California designer Shannon Ggem perfectly balanced her classic taste and artful eye to deliver a show-stopping table with a wonderful mix of china. Royal Crown Derby’s Old Avesbury pattern was the inspiration for Shannon Ggem’s table. She shares her selections so you can create this beautiful table.
China: Royal Crown Derby Old Avebury salad plate; Wedgwood Swinburne Ruby dinner plate; and Wedgwood Florentine Gold chop plate.

A Magical Flair
3. Julie Robbins
Julie Robbins, in-house designer for Replacements, wanted her table to feel like the perfect fall evening: warm and relaxed, yet still very elegant. She chose her pieces from the company’s expansive inventory of more than 11 million pieces (the warehouse is the size of eight football fields). I think we can all agree that Julie’s selections are magical.
China: Tiffany Silver gold vermeil berry bowls; Lenox Mandarin bread and butter; Lenox Gilded Tapestry luncheon plate; Lenox Au Courant Cocoa dinner plate; Anna Weatherley Chargers; Union Street Glass Sienna-Amber Bordeaux wine glasses; Glastonbury/Lotus 898 iced tea glasses; and Italian Sterling goblets.
