AAMD Lunch for 200

What an exciting time at Meadows Museum!  We had the great privilege to host a lunch for 200 members of the Association of Art Museum Directors (AAMD).  I was ever-so fortunate to plan with Pam Little, a good friend and a great catering/event manager.   We had an incredible menu from Experimental Table.  Chef George Brown prepared the most exquisite Entremeses Variados, which is a fancy way of saying assorted appetizers.  Guests were treated to housemade charcuterie by Local Yocal Farm to Market, Hand-picked mixed greens, sun gold tomato gazpacho, and Shaved Van Sormon cheese from Brazos Valley Cheese.  Farm Fresh deviled eggs, pickled veggies, and beautiful Spanish olives.  Full menu below! 

As for the look of this lunch, POSH Couture Rentals is the best!  Don't you love the new website!  The linens are from La Tavola and were perfect. Per usual, I had my trusty floral experts at the Garden Gate, Maria and Junior to make the tables sing with spring!  Stunningly photographed by the one and only Tamytha Cameron Photography.  

Happy Friday!

I am one of those people who would get married once a year if allowed (same husband).  Lucky for me I avoid the cost of this by planning and designing other people's weddings!  I do love my job. Here are some inspiration that everyone can appreciate!

Honestly, the best bouquet is homegrown by your Mom, and then wrapped lovingly in a big gaudy bow by your very southern Bannie.  Take that fancy pants..
