It’s always fun to walk into the weekend on a celebratory note (isn’t that what Friday is all about"!), which is why we’ve got this cozy autumn dinner Jesse of Alison Events Planning + Design dreamt up for photography duo Norman & Blake‘s launch party for you today. Lisa of The Wedding Artists Collective and Shannen + Emily of Norman & Blake brought together their San Francisco industry pals to celebrate at the Upstairs at Central Kitchen. We’re thinking Jesse’s modern fall tablescape will inspire a dinner party or two… Not to mention the light at this venue?so so good!

Studio Mondine captures our hearts again with these arrangements.
