Friendsgiving | Holiday Tablescape — Amber Mustain Floral Design

Gather: v. bring together and take in from scattered places.

My greatest joy is bringing people together. There's something truly special about having loved ones over for coffee or hosting a meal. For me, there's no greater place to connect than around the table. It’s more than just a place to eat—it’s where we gather. It's where we invite people into our lives, where we open our hearts and share moments, both big and small.

At the table, stories are told, memories are made, tears are shed, and laughter fills the air. It's where healing happens, where we find comfort in one another’s presence, and where bonds grow deeper with each passing moment. The table, in all its simplicity, becomes a sacred space—a place where we are truly seen and heard. It’s a place of connection, warmth, and love.

There’s something magical about it. It's not just about the food or the setting—it’s the people, the shared experiences, and the way a meal can bring us closer together. I believe that in the end, it’s these moments around the table that matter most, because they are where life is truly shared.

Creating a welcoming atmosphere is one of my greatest joys, and it’s a gift I hold close to my heart. There’s something so powerful about setting a space where people instantly feel at home—where they can relax, connect, and share in the love that surrounds them. When I design a table or arrange a floral display, I want to invite people in, not just with the beauty of the flowers, but with the entire feeling of the space.

The right color palette sets the tone—it’s about choosing hues that speak to the season, the occasion, and the emotions you want to evoke. Soft pastels for a spring gathering, rich jewel tones for a cozy autumn dinner, or fresh whites and greens for a peaceful, serene atmosphere. Each choice is a reflection of the love and care you’ve put into making your guests feel special.

But it’s the details that truly transform a table from beautiful to memorable. Whether it’s the subtle arrangement of delicate blooms, the perfect napkin fold, or a thoughtfully chosen centerpiece, it’s in these small touches that the heart of the event shines through. I believe in the power of flowers to tell a story—their fragrance, their colors, their textures all carry a sense of warmth, joy, and beauty that makes any gathering feel more intimate and meaningful.

When you sit down at a table I’ve designed, I want you to feel the thoughtfulness and intention behind every detail. From the florals to the layout, to the way the light dances off the table settings, everything is crafted with care to make your family and friends feel the love you’ve poured into the event. It’s my passion to create spaces where everyone feels seen, valued, and connected, and when it all comes together, it’s pure magic.
