Party Pics: Augusta Cole at Serena & Lily, Westport

As part of a nationwide series celebrating visionary tastemakers, the Serena & Lily Westport Design Shop unveiled a dining vignette by wedding and event planner Augusta Cole, who always brings her fresh perspective to the table. Drawing on the festive fineries of Deeda Blair and the relaxed refinement of Bunny Mellon, Cole layered personal antiques—18th-century china, heirloom silver, etched hurricanes—with Serena & Lily’s modern entertaining essentials. Guests gathered to preview the table and listen to Cole in conversation with Architectural Digest’s Madeline O’Malley, exploring the art of creating a holiday setting that feels timeless, personal and effortlessly elegant. The table remains on view through the season—worth a visit as you begin shaping your holiday hosting plans. serenaandlily.com
