hat do you get when you get some of the best florists, wedding planners, and table designers together? Well, we found out at the Society of Wedding Planners “Whose Table is It Anyway?” table design competition. Over fifteen industry professionals came together to create some amazing designs that truly pushed the limits of the ‘average’ design. The designs were divided into four categories: wedding décor with a budget over $10,000, wedding décor with a budget under $10,000, theme décor with a budget over $10,000, and rising star. Attendees were given one vote per category to vote for their favorite table. The event was held at the Phoenixville Foundry. This venue was a repurposed foundry that is on the National Historic Registry. At 18,000 square feet, it is the largest venue in Chester County. The space is both grand and industrial. It still contains some of the original machinery that was used when the foundry was still active. One of the best parts of the event was that all the proceeds from the event went to the “Donors are Hero’s” – Gift of Life Family House. The Gift of Life Family House is a non-profit organization that helps the families of transplant patients. They provide a refuge for families by providing a place to stay, a well stocked kitchen, transportation to local hospitals, and many more amenities to help them feel at home. The event raised hundreds of dollars to help further the mission of Gift of Life Family House.
