If you’re looking for creative ways to entertain, you’ll love the new collection of paper art from Ceci Johnson, luxury invitation designer, style expert and founder of Ceci New York.
Recently, I attended a Paper Art party in Ceci’s colorful store to introduce her new Ceci Vivre Collection. This gorgeous array of laser cut placemats, table and escort cards can easily transform any basic table into a work of art. Think bridal showers, engagement parties, after-parties and entertaining at home long after you’re married.
The four tables featured were all designed by Bridal Guide’s former Creative Director (and now contributing freelancer), Robin Zachary (nice job, Robin!):
For this nature-themed table, Robin used Ceci’s laser cut placemat and bird place cards to create a warm, natural look.
The “Peony Perfect” table featured pink floral laser cut placemats and birdcage place cards for a decidedly bright and girly look.
I loved the dramatic contrast of colors on the “Divine Damask” table where Ceci’s placemats and fan-shaped name cards inspired a table just waiting for sushi.
And for a taste of the tropics, these palm-frond placemats and shell place cards had me dreaming of ocean breezes and turquoise-blue waters.
I love the versatility of this collection. Host a wine-and-cheese party, brunch, cocktail party or any other kind of celebration using this paper art and you’ll look like a real design pro. Go to cecinewyork.com to see the entire collection and discover even more ways to create your own beautiful table.
