The tent walls were draped in white, sheer fabric backlit in hues of orange, gold, and aqua. Upon entering the tent I was stunned by the large-scale aspen tree filled with thousands of lights anchoring the center of the room-so very unexpected. In the main tent, tables were covered in turquoise, goldenrod and vivid orange overlays, centerpieces of turquoise, manzanita branches with succulents and contemporary candelabras covered in fresh bittersweet vines. Joe Smith of Ilex used Santa Fe and Georgia O’Keeffe’s color palette as inspiration. Chairwomen Jennie McCabe and Lynne Rhett saw to every detail for this magic, dramatic, and contemporary Santa Fe evening. The Frist Gala, featuring the much-anticipated exhibit Georgia O’Keeffe and Her Times, wins my vote for the best follow-through in design, food and decor.
Not being able to attend all the events, let me tell you about the two I did attend. The kick-off to the fall social season began with a flourish: Fall Fest at the Belle Meade Plantation, Vino on the Veranda, Authors in the Round, and The Frist Gala-all in the second weekend of October.
