First impressions are everything. At Cacique, we have the eye for the subtle nuances and personal touches; we practice the graceful art of making our guests feel comfortable, trusting in the knowledge that they are in well-worn hands.

At Cacique, we approach every event like a blank canvas. We imagine, we sketch, we take out our paints and decide on a palette. Tablescaping is one key component of that palette, so we approach it with care. For some, a couple of flickering candles and a floral centerpiece may do the job, but we are designers, not decorators. Just as a great painting finds its true value when placed correctly in a space, a well-laid table comes to life when it is part of a well-crafted experience.

Ikebana is the Japanese art of flower arranging. “Ike” meaning life or “arrange” and “bana” meaning flower. in Ikebana, the life / soul of each flower is kept alive through the arrangement, meaning that each flower, each stem, each blade of grass of withered seedpod has a purpose in creating a whole. Uh, oh… Here he goes waxing on, waxing off again. Am I suggesting that I am a black belt in floral arrangement? Maybe a green belt. After two decades in the industry, I am beginning to understand that true mastery - of floral design, karate, or table setting - comes with patience, meditation and reflection on the form.
