Radiant Vessels

table-palette-mwd107760.jpg

It's a snap to boost the wow factor of basic white vases -- just add gold. Transform Jamali Floral & Garden Supplies' ceramic containers ($5, jamaligarden.com) with an easy Old World Art Composition gold-leafing kit #831 (dickblick.com). Then fill them with white roses, orchids, Queen Anne's lace, black scabiosa, viburnum berries, and alocasia leaves.

Table Setting

place-setting-palette-mwd107760.jpg

You don't have to be a card shark to appreciate the 007 charm of this letterpress design, which sports a black diamond. It sits in a name card holder that was silver -- that is, until we went all King Midas on it with the same gold-leaf kit mentioned earlier. To prevent a game of musical chairs, glue calligraphed name tags to lengths of ribbon and wrap one around each napkin.

Printing by Print Icon (printicon.com). Crate & Barrel place-card holders (crateandbarrel.com). Calligraphy by Jane Labanz of The Delicate Pen (delicatepen.com). Mokuba New York lace ribbon #65305 (212-869-8900). Royal Limoges "Black Diamond" plates (michaelcfina.com). Noritake "Palais Black" goblet and wine glass (noritake.com).

Stylize Your Suite

invite-palette-mwd107760.jpg

Start spreading the news with invitations that put a fun spin on Art Deco design. Debut your colors on letterpress stationery that's dressed up for the occasion with a subtle bow-tie illustration (a cheeky wink at the formality of your day). Even the envelope liners sport the motif.

Mr. Boddington's Studio "Mr. Poitier" suite (mrboddington.com).

Boxed Wishes

guestbook-palette-mwd107760.jpg

Sweet Something

chocolates-palette-mwd107760.jpg

Trick out your dessert bar with miniature morsels so extraordinary, they're edible art. For a breath-catching display, have your caterer line them up on white trays.

From top left: Chocolate crackle cookies, chocolate cookie sandwiches with vanilla cream and gold leaf, crunchy white-chocolate-and-mint cups sprinkled with cookie pieces, coconut-topped chocolate-ganache diamond cakes, vanilla panna cottas with spun sugar and gold leaf (serve these beauties with tiny spoons), and almond meringue kisses dusted with coffee. Is your mouth watering yet?
