You can set your table—or you can ’scape it.When Bugsy Drake stepped onboard the yacht as Second Stew on Bravo’s Below Deck Med, she showed the world the magic of tablescaping. With the help of some unconventional centerpieces, a few artfully folded napkins, well-placed lighting, and a generous sprinkling of décor, tablescaping is the art of transforming a meal into an adventure that your guests will never forget. Bugsy’s gorgeous, over-the-top themes have captivated guests and earned her legions of devoted fans. Now she’s ready to share her passion and talent for creating unforgettable dining experiences, honed during nearly a decade working on the world’s most exclusive yachts and private islands. Featuring step-by-step instructions for building your own enchanting events, The Art of Tablescaping is packed full of inventive ideas and design hacks, on-the-job stories and lessons learned. Get inspired by some of Bugsy’s most iconic tablescapes, from rustic outdoor gatherings to glam-as-all-get-out soirees, then follow her tips for getting your own party started. You don’t need to have the superpowers of a Chief Stew to make a simple dinner party into a lasting memory—just your creativity, a sense of fun, and a few tips from the Queen of Theme herself. This is a great gift!
"Glorious full-page photos and playful typography add some visual fizz. Drake's fun guide is sure to please hosts looking for a bit of whimsy." ―Publishers Weekly "The perfect book for anyone who wants to elevate their own table for that next party or just have a stunning book for the coffee table." ―The Portland Book Review "I loved this book. I'm a new fan of Bugsy (from Below Deck) and due to this book I recently started following her on Instagram. The pictures in the book are beautiful as well as informative. I feel greatly inspired by Bugsy's eclectic extravagance. Bugsy lends an immense amount of time and energy bringing her creations to life and her boldness and free spirit are fascinating. Fantastic find for anyone wishing to create the perfect setting for any fun gathering. Truly a treasure to be enjoyed. I received this book from NetGalley for an honest review." ―Richelle Rodarte "I've always been a fan of Bugsy and her tablescapes on Below Deck Mediterranean. I found the book to have great tips for decorating tables and I can't wait to use them when the pandemic is over and I'm able to have people over again! Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC of this book." ―Melissa S. "I watched Below Deck and have seen the author on tv. I was excited for her to have written a book about what she is so great at!! The book begins with talking about how she became a part of a sailing crew. Throughout the book there are gorgeous pictures of the the author showing different parts of boats and tablescapes. I loved that she shows you step by step on how to come up with a theme and how to transport the guests into what it is. She gives step by step on how to fold napkins for different themes. The whole book has gorgeous pictures where you feel like you are right on the boat with her. I would recommend this book to anyone who would like to start doing table centerpieces, or having parties." ―Christine R.
