Santa Barbara, California

Kindred Collective

Set against the coastal beauty of El Encanto, A Belmond Hotel, this inaugural Kindred gathering brought together leaders from across the wedding industry for a weekend rooted in connection.

The event featured three distinct tabletop designs, each thoughtfully layered to create a unique experience while reflecting the relaxed sophistication of the Santa Barbara setting. One tablescape paired our Lily of the Valley Dinnerware with Mocha Glassware and Paris Hotel Flatware, creating a crisp, vineyard-inspired look. Another featured our Cognac Charger, Audrey Gold-Rimmed Dinnerware, Wooden Handled Flatware, and Clear Glassware, blending warm tones and garden hues that felt seamlessly integrated into the surrounding landscape. The final design showcased our Verde Charger beneath our hand-painted Piedmont Gardens Plates, paired with Birch Flatware and French Glassware for a fresh, layered palette that felt right at home against the coastal backdrop. Together, the three looks highlighted the versatility of thoughtful tabletop design and the creation of inviting spaces for guests to gather, linger, and connect throughout the weekend.
