Six talented designers, six beautiful table settings. We've invited each of our talented guests to set a table based on their version of an enchanted dinner party. Join us on the 6th Floor to experience patterns by Martha Stewart Collection with Wedgwood, Mikasa, Lauren Home, Rebecca Moses, a special Waterford and Wedgwood table, inspired by The Tudors on Showtime, and Wedgwood's 250th Anniversary table, showcasing several patterns from their 250 years of rich history.
Each designer has picked a specific pattern to celebrate a special occasion. Martha Stewart will preview her latest collaboration with Wedgwood with "Modern Daisy" and Mikasa presents their latest for spring, Indigo Bloom. Lauren Home will feature Red Pagoda bringing a modern, exotic feel to your home. Rebecca Moses' "Heart, Soul, Style" is an eclectic mix of colors, textures and styles that reflect the places, people and cultures that have influenced Rebecca the most. Waterford's and Wedgwood's table will show you how to entertain like English Royalty. Wedgwood celebrates 250 years with timeless pieces and history.
Rio Roses has completed each table look with a beautiful floral display. Rio Roses provide consumers with roses of outstanding quality, extra long vase life and an amazing selection of over 170 varieties. Florists trust Rio Roses because Rio Roses grows each rose with the utmost care and every flower meets the highest quality standards in the industry.

Cornelia has always had a passion for flowers. After growing up in Chicago and earning a degree in fine art from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, she moved to Manhattan. There she treasured the opportunity to learn from the country's finest floral and event designers, including David Stark of David Stark Design and Production with whom she worked closely on events unprecedented in their originality and lavishness in the United States and abroad. Increasingly called to design parties and flowers on her own for clients as diverse as L'Oreal Paris and 50 cent, she founded Cornelia McNamara Flowers in 2003. Her unique flair for floral material combined with an art school approach to dramatic and striking design have since established her as a leading designer in her own right. In 2007, she returned home to Chicago as her primary base of operations, and has relished the opportunity to add glamour to city's increasingly eminent private, corporate and cultural celebrations.
