Interior designer Kevin Walsh of Bear-Hill Interiors dressed up the formal dinner table by layering accents of gold, starting with chargers and china plates with gold rims. “I wanted it to be elegant and timeless,” he says. He added Southern flair by mixing several different china patterns and arranging a floral centerpiece complete with hydrangeas and multi-colored roses. “The mix of flowers was beautiful and opulent, just like the table setting,” adds Walsh. Cloth napkins and vintage napkin rings complete the formal setting.
