Friday Speaker Dinner 2026

One of the traditions of the Lauritzen Gardens Antiques & Design Show is the special dinner honoring the speakers. It has been a highlight of the weekend for over 15 years and is always such a treat!

Kyle Robino created the florals and my goodness, they are stunning!

There are three tables in the dining room and another table close-by in an office.

The unexpected combination of colors are especially beautiful this year!

The vases and votives add such charm to the tablescape ~ each one a lovely reminder of their travels…

Kyle also created these gorgeous menu cards. I forgot to turn one over to show!

In addition to the large dining table, there are two round tables in the dining room.

Here is the office transformed into the most beautiful, intimate space…

This looks like a magazine cover!

The collections of china, crystal, silver and linens would be overwhelming for me - I couldn’t keep it all straight!

Somehow, they make putting it all together look effortless.

Kyle also designs a beautiful center table in the entry for this event. How fun for her to shop through these collected treasures and put them together for the evening! A real talent I do not have. I am a better fit for at the collecting part. :)

Thank you to this lovely couple for graciously allowing me to take photos and share them with you!

It’s another wonderful part of the weekend that makes the show so memorable event year after year.
