An opulent affair in Virgina Lane’s home is always a special event. Held during the holidays, this particular dinner was attended by family members and close friends. Virginia’s grandchildren were underfoot during the party, enjoying the proceedings.
With walls decked out in trompe l’oeil made to resemble an Italian villa, the home was clearly made to hold showstopping affairs. Tables set with food displayed in artful platters were a feast for the senses.

The tables were decorated with Virginia’s signature splashy touch of glamour, with plates made to resemble the Japanese design sensibility known as kintsugi, the art of repairing broken pottery with lacquer mixed with powdered gold, Christofle flatware. Crystal stemware for glasses of wine were available.
As the night wound down, it was clear everyone was hesitant to leave. A Virginia Lane party is always hard to depart from, with her welcoming personality serving as a balm to a stressed out holiday season. The food, decor and lively conversation made this shindig one for the ages.
