All That Jazz

“NEW ORLEANS IS LIKE A BIG MUSICAL GUMBO.”
—TROMBONE SHORTY, MUSICIAN

SYNCOPATING STYLE

Dress your table for a jazz brunch with blue notes from a triplet of tableware designs and a sassy accordion napkin fold—a scene sure to shake off winter doldrums. Wedgwood’s Renaissance Gold salad plate provides a classic counterpoint to the modern geometric dinner dish, and cup and saucer from the same pattern, while dessert poses on a banded rendition edged in stylized gilding. The china blends harmoniously upon an elegant charger paired with apropos fleur-de-lis glassware. Brighten spirits further with candlelight and a resplendent white floral centerpiece of roses, lilies, peonies, and ranunculus interspersed with dusty miller, hypericum berries, and more. Add a live jazz trio in the background, and before long, your guests will join in the fun, keeping the beat as they anticipate the scrumptious fare to come.
