Fairytale Tablesettings

By Janine Cheviot

Custom wedding gifts are the best kind to give or receive, because they are the ones we remember. Instead of buying the same old champagne glasses or crystal cake plate for the bride and groom, take the time to find a unique gift that will be cherished forever. Dee and Brion Moorhead, local Hamptons artists, have designed and created Bijoux De La Mer, an original luxe collection of pewter table art designs that will be truly treasured by any newlyweds. Far from the typical table setting, these heirloom quality flatware and table accessories are beautiful, one-of-a-kind pieces of art. They were created in the Art Nouveau style, inspired by Dee and Brion’s love of nature and the ocean. The collection is two years in the making, and will add an elegant touch to any table.

Dee and Brion’s Victorian mini-farm-turned creative haven, overlooks a horse pasture, waterfall and koi pond, creating a serene setting that has inspired these talented artists. Dee owns the boutique DJ Hart in Sag Harbor, and has been dressing celebrities and Hamptonites with her designs for many years. Brion is a detail carpenter and illustrator, specializing in Victorian homes. His work has been seen in Country Living and Architecture Details and has been shown on HGTV. The Orchid design was featured in Preston Bailey’s book, Fantasy Weddings.

The collection is made to the highest standards. The handles and accessories are made of lead-free pewter glow with an antique patina. The flatware tips are made of the finest 18/10 Italian stainless steel, and they are dishwasher safe, on gentle cycle. Bijoux De La Mer will debut in spring 2007.

Bijoux De La Mer is available at fine stores and at www.BijouxDeLaMer.com. Custom designs are available by contacting the artist. Call 631-749-0877.
