A masterclass in thoughtfully layered pattern play with wedding designer Augusta Cole.
When Cathy Kincaid's interior design work is the inspiration behind a chic Dallas bride’s wedding reception, you know a Vogue-worthy vision is sure to be on the table. And, of course, we have a niche place setting just for that.
THE VISION BOARD
Interior designer and Dallas bride Rosemary Miller was recently featured on Vogue Weddings thanks to a breathtaking vision flawlessly brought to life by Augusta Cole Events. Her process below is a reminder to let what excites you really inspire the details of the day. Every inch of this wedding is a lesson in design, inspiration, and trusting your own personal flair to shine bright, not just in your fashion, but also on your table.
“The mother and daughter team worked with event planner Augusta Cole on every aspect of the wedding. “Augusta and her team are also the most amazing people,” the bride says. “They were so organized and understood our vision from the moment we first started planning.” As an interior designer, Rosemary is no stranger to color and pattern play. “The way Augusta was able to execute this mentality through her tablescapes and decor ideas is truly remarkable,” Rosemary says. “Cathy Kincaid, has designed my family’s homes for a long time, and I even had the pleasure of working for her out of college—and much of her design aesthetic was a huge inspiration for our wedding. We all wanted to evoke the feeling of being in one of Cathy’s homes.”
In the lead-up to the wedding, Cathy hosted Rosemary and Augusta at her office so they could sort through her fabric library in search of inspiration. “We honed in on Lisa Fine fabrics,” Rosemary says. “Given our relationship with Lisa, she gave us very special permission to utilize her iconic Persian Garden wallpaper for the ceiling of our tent which was really the anchor of the design and palette.”
They then also used other Lisa Fine fabrics for about 90% of the wedding decor. Augusta and her team thoughtfully mixed the patterns together with everything from the tablecloths, to the chair shrugs, to the fabric light fixtures. Floral designer Margaret Kane Ryder and her team at Kane & Co. brought color and life to the tent using floral, greenery, citrus, and styled niches to create a homey feel. “There were so many badass female powerhouses who came together to make this vision come to life,” Rosemary says.
THE TABLESCAPE
Margaret Kane Ryder of Kane & Co is our Dallas neighbor and frequent partner in tabletop design when it comes to bespoke (but never boring) boutique events and parties. In true charming fashion, Margaret created an atmosphere of the most chic allure–and fabulously paired our most iconic pieces with their floral tabletop design. Proof that chic can be timeless with the right iconic patterns.
We've shared before on The Soft Staying Power of Mottahedeh Lace, and the red charger perfectly complemented the Lisa Fine Textiles custom table linen of her Persian Garden motifs. To further lean into the whimsical leanings of this classic aesthetic, the design team and bride chose vintage etched goblets and Natural Bone-Inlay Flatware. The Lenox Marchesa Shades of Ivory Collection was the perfect dinner addition for the Rosewood Mansion's coursed culinary feast and passed plates later in the evening.
Natural Fruitwood Chiavari Chairs fitted in, you guessed it, Lisa Fine Textiles completed their stylish seating alongside custom banquet seating.

FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION
Add various colors of the Mottahedeh Lace Charger to the table (or on opposite tables). The Turquoise Lace or Apple Green Lace Charger are great options for this color story.
Upgrade a classic white place dinner and salad plate with the Ivory Basket Weave or lean further into the garden aesthetic with the Floral Garden Salad Plate or Toile Rose Dinner Plate.
Clear Vintage Etched stemware with just the right amount of floral design keeps this tablescape from appearing too busy when paired with sommelier-approved Extreme Riedel. To add a little fun elsewhere, consider adding color to a custom cocktail bar or passed drink as guests enter the room. We love the Carrie Collection, Daphne Collection, and Stella Collection for pops of color. On the other hand, if you want to skip the color but add a sophisticated silhouette to those sips, The Manhattan Collection is waiting for a spin around your reception.
Have fun with the flatware. We have a collection for every aesthetic, and always in a variety of colors. Peruse to your heart's content here.
We always support a classic Fruitwood chiavari chair. For brides looking for a more modern aesthetic, we love the soft transitional style of The Windsor or any of our Specialty Chairs.
