· Make an instant arrangement. Bring new life to
a candelabra with fresh-plucked magnolia leaves and gold ribbon. Use the
same idea to create striking arrangements on mirrors or lamps throughout
your home.
· Choose a color palette. Moore capitalizes on
rich Southern tradition with the use of gold and silver. He balances the
opulence with touches of color, such as the greenery and the pink vintage
ornament.
· Pull out your best china. This setting calls
for formality. Drape your table in white and top with crystal goblets and
vintage gold china.
