Unfortunately, my website was hacked this past week and a team is working hard as we speak to get it fixed. I apologize for any inconvenience. Until it is restored, inquiries about Rex & Regina and its services can be sent directly to me at teresa@rexandregina.com. Thank you for your patience!
I am over-the-moon to share the new Rex & Regina Blog with you today! Designed by SugarB Studio, the blog still features tips and trends on weddings, entertaining, and lifestyle, but now groups posts so that you can read the category of content you are most interested in. Our updated blogroll lets you know what we’ve been reading and the search, label, and archive functions will make it easier for you to find just what you are looking for. We hope you enjoy the new blog and would love your feedback!
But that is not all. Not by a long shot! Today we also unveil the new Rex & Regina site! Our website describes the wedding, social occasion, and corporate event planning services that Rex & Regina offers and also showcases our work in a brand new photo gallery. There you can learn more about the firm and the work we’ve been doing.
We’re like proud parents today — announcing two fresh and updated ways to keep in touch with all that is going on in the wedding, entertaining, and lifestyle worlds. Thanks for celebrating this exciting news with us!
Anthropologie, one of my favorite destinations for clothes that tend to make me smile, has just launched a bridal line. You MUST check it out. It’s called BHLDN (think “beholden”).
I am sorry to have been missing-in-action from the blog for over a week. But I promise I have a good excuse! I just got back last night from a trip to Paris and after I fight off a bit of this jet lag, I promise I will return to my regular posting schedule. Until then, here are a few shots from the trip!
My guest post on DC Ladies Blog today focuses on the etiquette and customs around seating people around a dinner table. Some may find the guidelines outdated, but I contend that they really can create a comfortable and enjoyable atmosphere for your guests.

One year ago today the Rex & Regina Blog was launched! What a fun year it has been as we’ve shared our favorite trends and ideas in the entertaining, lifestyle, and wedding domains. We’re grateful to our loyal readers for your support and for those just dropping by we hope you find something that inspires.
Here’s to another great year of blogging!
I recently did a lecture on Easter entertaining where I shared three different takes on an Easter table — each working with a white tablecloth and white dinner plates.
For the next few days leading up to Easter, I’ll be sharing those three tablescapes which I hope will offer a little inspiration as you prepare your own Easter table.
The first tablescape illustrates something a hostess could pull together in a little amount of time with a small budget. Its simple touches pull the table together with a rustic simplicity.

Simple flatware and glassware are dressed up with pops of pink from the napkins, egg cups, and a tight cluster of carnations. The carnations are set in a mason jar (any glass jar from around the house would do) with a ribbon of raffia. The raffia is reflected again on the pink egg cups.
"nested" place card
Place cards are made by setting scrolled pieces of paper inside a tiny bird’s nest with soft, neutral speckled eggs.

If you don’t have time to run to a craft store to buy the nests, you can form nests out of raffia or out of Easter basket cello shred.
Stay tuned later this week for two more Easter tablescape inspirations!
