Jennifer Flanders’s kitchen vignette was inspired by getting ready for a gathering of loved ones. As a contrast to the warm tones of her beautiful fall floral arrangements, Flanders opted for black-and-white place settings—Black Aves by Royal Crown Derby and Black Cut by Waterford, all from Replacements.
