When you bring together some of L.A.'s most creative ladies to throw a celebratory dinner party, there's no doubt that every element will be on point. So we can't help but steal some ideas from this gorgeous fête, which was held at chic shopping district
One Colorado—home to our most beloved
Mohawk General Store—and hosted by
(No Subject) founder Jaclyn Johnson, stylist-designer
Whitney Leigh Morris, and florist extraordinaire,
Bess Wyrick.

Knit shawls were placed on seat backs for chilly guests.3.
Forgo Traditional Floral Arrangements. The literal and figurative centerpiece of this fête was no doubt the 60-foot garland that lined the table. This bold singular statement of flower power makes even the longest table feel cohesive and well-planned. Wyrick's
Celadon and Celery chose coral peonies, peach amaryllis, red peonies, and yellow roses for the blooms, and added fruit (persimmons and lemons) to evoke an unexpected tropics-meets-harvest vibe.
