Nathalie Cadet-James of Luxe Fête Event Planning and Design Studio, who’s masterminded events for the likes of Hillary Clinton and Gucci, knows that an attention-grabbing table design sets the stage for everything from social soirees to intimate dinner parties. “I create a setting as if I’m telling a story,” she reveals. “Don’t be afraid to inject your personality. Just as you express your personal taste with decor in the home, do the same with your table.” Here’s what the stylish impresario is topping tables with this winter.
