Picture a corporate holiday dinner set on the veranda of a Tuscan Italian garden—then discovering it's actually in the Finger Lakes of Western New York. Bright, cheerful red, purple and silver holiday tones instantly lifted guests into a lively spirit. The mansion library's French double doors swung open onto long banquet tables framed by silver Chiavari chairs. Arriving through the porte cochère, guests were greeted by young men in black tie and tails. The floral display mixed pink dahlias, red daisies and pincushions. Before dinner, guests nibbled green grapes, imported cheeses and sliced red apples dipped in honey—arrangements that doubled as table décor. The evening was summed up in three words: “Classic, Sophisticated and Luxurious.”
