"That's what life is about: Let's have a party, let's have it tonight!". - Lilly Pulitzer
setting the table is all about enjoying.
the charm in the word sobremesa is the magical way it captures the experience of those special hours after a meal, where you linger at the table with dear friends and family, enjoying conversation, sharing stories, and laughing with one another.
Sobremesa is the ultimate party in a box that delivers chic and stylish dinnerware straight to your home. Our DIY dinnerware set’s the scene, and your table, with the most unforgettable, elegantly placed tablescape settings to impress your guests and elevate your entertaining prowess.
I’ve always loved throwing a party, but it’s the tiny yet remarkable details that go into planning it that fascinate me the most. I wanted to create an idyllic atmosphere for those who may not have the same love for tabletop decor details and hosting as I do. Sobremesa Tablescape was born from my travels, innate sense of style, and desire to create seamless gatherings with beautiful, pre-designed dinnerware rental styles. I want to eliminate the stress from your event or party by simplifying the hosting experience.
The inspiration for my business began over a Thanksgiving dinner I hosted for my chosen Dubai family. On that day, I realized my passion for making loved ones feel welcomed, loved, comfortable, and above all, dazzled. I loved planning every detail of the dining experience, from creating a fabulous tablescape, selecting impeccable table settings to mix and match the crockery to make the flower arrangements. I discovered that I relished cultivating beauty and curating special moments to be remembered and cherished.
I knew I had to make this personal calling into a bonafide business. I just wasn’t sure what to name my company. A dear friend brilliantly suggested the name Sobremesa, and it instantly clicked. It embodied the perfect meaning. While a Spanish-named company in Dubai may pique your interest, it was the most befitting word, as its two-fold meaning aligned flawlessly with my vision, as well as paid homage to my roots and native Spanish language. Sobremesa’s multiple meanings are applicable in every way. The literal English translation of Sobremesa means “above the table,” where my business flourishes. However, the charm in this word is the magical way it captures the experience of those special hours after a meal, where you linger at the table with dear friends and family, enjoying conversation, sharing stories, and laughing with one another. Creating these sacred moments for others is what this curated experience is all about for me.
Sobremesa is far more than a one-person venture; it is the dedicated product of countless people behind the scenes supporting, encouraging, collaborating, and educating me throughout the process. I am beyond excited to share all of my magical tablescape designs, learnings, and table setting rentals with you and your loved ones. My tablescape Styles are eclectic, internationally inspired, and offer a lasting impression. Whether you seek tried and true classics, ultra-romantic and feminine, vibrantly bold, refined and sophisticated, or impossibly chic, I have something for your every occasion.
Whether you are planning an intimate gathering, a casual dinner party, or a formal holiday event, allow Sobremesa into your home so that you can focus on those around it. After all, any gathering with those we loved is a true celebration!
