Local designers—Iconic by Kaitlyn Wolfe, Lillian James Design, London Pierce Design, Maria Z Interiors and Ownby Design— brought their unique approach and style to decorate a spring tablescape. Featuring furniture from Brown Jordan in Scottsdale Quarter where the event took place, each designer created and shared a truly luxury bespoke style. Shearon Design Collective adorned the space with incredible greenery.

Maria Z Interiors

About the Designer: Nature is a key element in the Maria Z Interiors design process. Natural light, a beautiful garden, a tree or a view can be considered a piece of art when designing spaces. Led by Maria Zambrano, the firm focuses on designing interior and exterior spaces. Whether a new construction or a remodel, the team will collaborate fully with your architect and builder.

About the Tablescape: “My inspiration for this tablescape came from my last European trip in April,” Maria Zambrano says. “Late lunch on a weekend can be the main meal of the day in any of these European quaint towns. I was reminiscing about a villa in Bordeaux, France, with a covered patio with wisteria hanging down and a beautiful tablescape of fresh citrus scent. All materials presented were natural materials from the napkins all the way to the plates, chargers, napkin holders, etc.”

About the Tablescape: “When designing this space, I sought to create a dreamy tablescape—one that would transport guests into a magical world, evoking beauty and enchantment,” Candice Quinn says. “I was inspired by nature and elements of the French countryside. My vision was to create an inviting space with a hint of romance by covering the table with flowers. The handmade plates brought in an earthy element and paired well with the florals. The raw alabaster votives placed on the table create a soft glow through the natural alabaster and the soft linens made in France brought in some elegance. The champagne flatware and textured glasses finished it off by creating warmth and texture.”
