Dinner Party is a floral and styling studio founded by Chelsea Carter.

With more than a decade of experience working on large-scale events in both Los Angeles and Nashville, Chelsea developed an eye for the layers that make a gathering feel polished, warm, and deeply considered. After eleven years working as a florist, that same standard of precision now carries through everything Dinner Party creates — from intimate tables at home to expansive floral installations and guest-facing event environments.

Known for a style that feels refined rather than overdesigned, Chelsea approaches each project with an emphasis on atmosphere, texture, seasonality, and the quiet confidence of details chosen well.

Now residing in Nashville with her husband, three children and her rescue pup, Blue - Chelsea built Dinner Party from a belief that beautiful spaces have the power to draw people in, slow them down, and make them feel cared for.

Whether designing for a wedding weekend, a corporate hospitality moment, an award show or an everyday table, her work is rooted in the same philosophy: intention over excess, beauty with warmth, and gatherings that feel as meaningful as they are memorable.
