Interior designer Emily Sturgess set the table in anticipation for a private dinner party at her Winnetka residence for twelve North Shore couples. Rich textiles and vintage accessories, hallmarks of her firm’s classic style were layered to create a garden-inspired evening. A backdrop of lush greenery and floral patterned dinnerware emphasized the summer theme. A powerhouse group of North Shore women helped to bring the vision to life including Ellie Nottoli of elliestyled and Kirbey Rogic of Highland Park’s The Flower House. Florals by The Flower House, itstheflowerhouse.com, styling by Ellie Nottoli, elliestyled.com, catering by An Apple a Day, anappleadaycatering.com, dinnerware by Herend, Peachtree Place, table linens by India Amory, juliaamory.com, and glassware by The Festive Frog, thefestivefrog.com
