Devon & Gabe’s wedding welcome party at the Tennis Hall of Fame was a dream to be a part of. Being able to do an event at such an iconic venue and work with some of the most respected vendors in Newport was an incredible experience.

Nifty provided glassware for the bar and welcome drinks, creating so many picture-worthy moments for guests who were able to sip all night from unique and beautiful vintage glasses.

We also provided the bamboo trays for the welcome drinks, used to greet guests as they entered the venue.

The grazing table used all vintage serveware and plates to create one of the coolest food stations I have ever seen at a wedding event.

Lastly, Nifty provided vintage pedestals and bowls for custom matchbooks as well as a bar cart to greet guests with pashminas on top for the chilly October evening.

A backyard summer dinner party

  • Colorful glassware and floral centerpieces on a white tablecloth, set outdoors with sunlight.

    Mix & Match summer color palette

    A mixture of pink, blue, and yellow fiesta plates with a rainbow of depression glassware - what more could you ask for?

  • People gathered around a dining table outdoors, raising glasses of red wine for a toast. The table is decorated with colorful glass plates, small vases with flowers, and lit candles, set for a celebration or gathering.

    wine & more wine

    Each place setting has a larger “water” glass and wine glass. I use a mixture of traditional-style drinking glasses and large goblets for water, and smaller wine and coupe glasses for wine.

  • A table setting with a menu card, a lit candle in a glass holder, floral arrangements, a wine glass, and a plate with a decorative pattern, all in warm tones.

    thoughtfully designed details

    Nifty can also create graphics for your event. For this dinner party, I designed invitations, food menus, and graphics for the “bar.”

  • A festive outdoor gathering with colorful glassware, a cake under a glass dome, and a long table decorated with flowers in a backyard during sunset.

    little touches make the difference

    These bamboo trays added a layer of texture and style to the event. They are perfect to go on a bar, or to be used as trays for welcome drinks.

  • A table set for a meal with colorful glassware, yellow and green plates, and a tin of anchovy fish in the center. A person's hand is reaching for a fork on the table.

    sardines!

    Another thoughtful detail - we used sardine tins as place cards for the guests. I wrote each person’s name on the tin with a metallic paint pen.

SPENCER AND BEN

A SWEET RECEPTION ON THE CAPE.

What a dream to do an event at the legendary Chatham Bars Inn. Spencer and Ben wanted a small and meaningful reception with their closest family and friends, and to make the event beautiful and unique.

Spencer knew she wanted to honor the beautiful fall day, but decided to use non-traditional fall colors. She decided on green and amethyst, which blended beautifully on top of the fun tablecloths she purchased for the day.

Nifty provided floral china dinner plates, a mix of green and amethyst salad plates, green and amethyst goblets, vintage clear wine glasses, mix-and-match flatware, and bud vases with an array of hurricane candles and votives. The result was a romantic seaside dream.

Nifty provided mix and match floral china, Which added the perfect missing detail to the simple and elegant Tablescape.

A week or two before the wedding, i purchased a rattan bar cart on facebook marketplace and posted it to my instagram stories. catherine saw it and immediately messaged me to rent it for her wedding. placed at the entry of the reception, it was a fun way to welcome guests into the party with glasses of champagne.
