The elegance of the Biedermeier period inspires a classic celebration.
Fruits and fiddlehead ferns, as well as peonies and ranunculus, give a touch of nature's wildness to offset the bold, symmetrical design of a Biedermeier chest.
Complementary and contrasting patterns in the linens, flatware, china and crystal create a rich, one-of-a-kind look. Antique fine china, Empire candlestick and custom silk tablecloth with pearl embroidery.
The cake's decorations give a nod to the neoclassical influence on Empire style. From left: Lattice server, wineglasses, antique Empire candelabra, candlestick, pedestal and compote dish.
Dessert gets a bit of French flavor, thanks to dishes brimming with petits fours and macaroons. From left: Antique black compote by Wedgwood, lattice server and antique dessert plate.
Lush, loosely bound Parrot tulips, ranunculus, white scabiosa, passion flower vine, tuberose, fiddlehead ferns, scented geranium leaves and garden roses look as if they could have been plucked from the Tuileries.
