PetitDejeuner Leta Austin Foster | Leta Austin Foster & Associates Inc. The theme for this table was “breakfast with Mr. and Mrs. Charles Wrightsman,” and Foster hoped to invoke the social couple’s beautiful house—one of the truly great houses of Palm Beach, built by Maurice Fatio and decorated by Henri Samuel and Jansen. Faux bamboo chairs and the beautiful pale blue embroidered tablecloth from Noel in Paris set the scene, while the Luneville china—which the Wrightsmans did actually have—was (and is) de rigueur in Palm Beach life and provides a wonderfully colorful canvas for the fruit. letaaustinfoster.com Chairs, Brass Scale Antiques, West Palm Beach; tablecloth and china, Leta Austin Foster Boutique, Palm Beach; flowers, Christopher Cope Event Florals, christophercope.net. 136 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED
