The Tulip Table
Lavender shortbread with whipped cream cheese, edible violet & honey — a purple living room in one bite
Before she wrote the playbook, she lived inside the room — a purple seventies living room in northern England.
Why this bite? Sasha learned event design around her mother's Tulip table. This lavender shortbread is service without spectacle.
The Story
Your guests don't know that the most important event strategist in the UK learned everything she knows around a Saarinen Tulip table in a purple seventies living room in northern England. Her mother filled it with musicians, neighbours, and strong opinions over weak tea. Service without spectacle. That living room was the first event Sasha ever attended — and the one she's been recreating, in different forms, for thirty years. This lavender shortbread is that room: floral, unpretentious, built on the belief that bringing people together is an act of service.
