RETURN OF THE MONARCH BUTTERFLY

By Paige Scyocurka | www.ethanallen.com

Return of the Monarch Butterfly is a celebration of one of nature’s most magical journeys. Each year, the Monarch drifts thousands of miles to the mountain forests of Mexico, returning in spring as a symbol of renewal, resilience, and hope. Our garden tablescape blooms from this story, layered with soft petals, textures, and sun-kissed details inspired by the Monarch’s graceful homecoming. It is a place where past and present meet, where gardens awaken, and where guests are invited to pause for a springtime tea in the garden – surrounded by blossoms and gentle color, where design dreams are perpetually in bloom. So, take a seat and immerse yourself in the
wonders of the moment!

THE “METAMORPHOSIS GARDEN
By: Tina Troiano | Finishing Touches | www.finishingtouchesct.com

Welcome to a dining experience purposefully designed to celebrate the romantic journey of nuptials and the beauty of the natural world. The “Metamorphosis Garden” tablescape captures a fleeting moment of wonder, where delicate butterflies pause intentionally amid a blooming landscape, inviting guests to embrace growth, transformation, and new beginnings. The design thoughtfully balances organic elements with elegant details, creating a dining experience that is both sophisticated and whimsical. It is a wonderful tribute to nature's artistry and the hopeful spirit of the future. It truly sets the stage for an unforgettable proposal and a meaningful “yes.”

Honorable Mention: Tracy Gerace Table #14

PP-CHUN-DAE-GIL “MAY THE COMING OF SPRING BE BLESSED WITH GREAT HAPPINESS”
By: Tracy Gerace | H.O.P.E. Partners of Farmington | www.hpof.org

"This is a traditional Korean saying, inviting good fortune with the coming of Spring. I chose to invite great happiness and fortune with the beauty of flowers and East Asian figurines. Back in the summers of the 70’s, my Mom collected these figurines. Every summer, we would go to Mansfield to visit Juanita Dorwart. She owned an antique shop that specialized in Asian Art.  She would buy these treasures and eventually had a beautiful collection. I’m honored to bring them out of their boxes and celebrate the happiness of good
fortune and Spring!"
