This past weekend, chefs, sommeliers, and food lovers alike descended upon midtown Atlanta to celebrate what is and what’s to come in all that is Southern cuisine at Atlanta Food and Wine Festival.  While I’ve always been an active participant, this year I had the opportunity to also style and design the Connoisseur Dinner Series. 

I’ll let the gorgeous images speak for themselves, but with each intimate dinner, I wanted to keep things simple, personal and most importantly, let the star of the show–the wine and food–shine.  For dinner in “the mountains” we welcomed guests to the Preserving Place with rich florals from Laura McCarty, wooden and gold planters filled with moss, and a long scrolling menu hung from the ceiling and hand lettered by Jenn Gietzen of Write On! Design.  For “the coast” we set the longest table we could find poolside on the roof of 1065 Midtown.  Driftwood, hand lettered stones, and Gertie Mae’s Floral Studio cool-toned florals set the mood.  And when the sun set, and after a few glasses of wine were poured, I swear you could smell the salt water if you tried hard enough.  Truly, MKR
