This fall, the city’s talented designers gathered for a great cause at Modern Luxury Interiors Boston’s To Live and Dine.

Twenty-one of Boston’s top designers brought their talents to the table on Oct. 21st for Modern Luxury Interiors Boston’s inaugural To Live and Dine event. Awe-inspiring tablescapes crafted by each designer embodied various motifs like “Secret Garden of Style,” “Court and Castle,” and “A Harmony of Hues & Heritage,” with the help of vendors Winston Flowers, Designer Draperies of Boston and Landry & Arcari. Beyond the eye-catching tables, the “A World of Good” international-themed event boasted various activations: a rose petal-covered 360 photo booth sponsored by Cumar, Galerie D’Orsay’s latest exhibit by SEN-1 on-site, a silver printable photobooth sponsored by SDi and Newton Kitchens & Design and Landry & Arcari rugs carpeting the floor.
