Tablescapes, the annual fundraiser of the Dallas Alumnae Association of Kappa Kappa Gamma (KKG) was held on October 16 and 17 in Dallas. The event, presented by Central Market, featured tabletop creations from 60 of Dallas’ top designers including designer Junior Villanueva of The Garden Gate Floral Design.

Credited with inspiring those who entertain with a collection of unique table settings, Tablescapes kicked off Monday, October 16 with Tablescapes by Candlelight from 7:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. This open-to-the-public event featured a cocktail buffet and the opportunity to visit with Faudree and to view the inspiring table designs.

The evening's reception is a must see for everyone who entertains ... or not. After savoring these inspired designs, you'll be setting the date for your own smashing party.
