Description
You can set your table – or you can 'scape it.
When Bugsy Drake stepped onboard the yacht as Second Stew on Bravo's Below Deck Med, she showed the world the magic of tablescaping. With the help of some unconventional centrepieces, a few artfully folded napkins, well-placed lighting, and a generous sprinkling of décor, tablescaping becomes the art of transforming a meal into an adventure that your guests will never forget. Bugsy's gorgeous, over-the-top themes have captivated guests and earned her legions of devoted fans. Now she's ready to share her passion and talent for creating unforgettable dining experiences, honed during nearly a decade working on the world's most exclusive yachts and private islands.
Featuring step-by-step instructions for building your own enchanting events, The Art of Tablescaping is packed full of inventive ideas and design hacks, on-the-job stories, and lessons learned. Get inspired by some of Bugsy's most iconic tablescapes, from rustic outdoor gatherings to glam-as-all-get-out soirées, then follow her tips for getting your own party started.
You don't need to have the superpowers of a Chief Stew to make a simple dinner party into a lasting memory – just your creativity, a sense of fun, and a few tips from the Queen of Theme herself.
