Tablescaping is the design and styling of a table for an occasion — the china, glassware, flatware, linens, florals, candles and décor — set so the table itself becomes part of the memory.

China, glassware, flatware, linens, florals, candles and décor, delivered to the venue, styled by hand on site and collected afterwards. Setup and teardown are included in every plan; food and drink are not.

Gilded Gatherings is run by Brenda Minter and Anna Tidwell in Tyler, Texas. Alongside tablescaping they coordinate setup, timelines, vendors and event flow, so hosts can spend the day with their guests.

Weddings, rehearsal dinners, bridal and baby showers, birthdays, tea parties, holiday dinners, corporate evenings and private dinner parties at home.

We are based in Tyler and work across East Texas — including Longview, Kilgore, Marshall, Lufkin and Nacogdoches — as well as Dallas–Fort Worth and Shreveport. There is no travel added within Smith County; beyond the Tyler area, travel is quoted with the event.

Packages are priced for 20 guests and include delivery, styling, setup and teardown; your guest count moves the total. See current prices on our pricing page, or build a quote online.

Yes. We deliver, style each table by hand and return after the event to collect everything. Day-of coordination — setup, timelines, vendors and event flow — is available as well.

Yes. It suits a dining room at home as readily as a hall or a venue, and the standard does not change between them.

No. Setup and teardown are included in every plan; food and drink are not. With a bar setup, the liquor, license and server are yours to provide.

Yes — our unique rentals are rented a la carte: candelabras, silver tea pots, punch bowls, risers, iron chairs and more. You collect them from us in Tyler and bring them back. Please do not wash the silver — a wipe with a damp cloth, and no cleaning products.

As early as you can. Spring is the busiest season in East Texas — if your date falls in March or April, reach out earlier than feels necessary — and December tables fill early too.
