Event Styling + Tablescape Design
Candlelight-Led Design for Intimate Events in Washington DC
When your event centers around the table — conversation, connection, and atmosphere — the details matter. AriLynn Events specializes in candlelight-forward tablescape design, creating refined, intentional tabletop environments that feel elevated without feeling overdone.
