The Dallas Electric String Quartet provided the entertainment for last night's Garden Party.

Event planner Mary Wright Shah pulled together a scene for an elegant dinner party reception at last night’s Garden Party at the Nasher Sculpture Center. Surrounded by the beautiful foliage and sculptures, partygoers admired the elegant table settings designed by Jackson Durham, models sporting Oscar de la Renta’s latest fall looks, and a stunning cake from Fancy Cakes by Laurens. The Dallas Electric String Quartet provided music, playing favorites like Katy Perry’s “Firework” with a classical twist. To inspire you for your own wedding, check out these examples of place settings designed for various themed weddings. Jump for photos (courtesy of Margaux Anbouba).
