Dish & Bloom 2023

Author, magazine editor, frequent “Today Show” guest and lifestyle influencer Kimberly Schlegel Whitman is the featured speaker for this year’s Dish & Bloom Luncheon. With a talent for making the ordinary extraordinary, the Dallas native has used her original and clever take on parties to launch business ventures that create memorable celebrations.

Kimberly is the editor-at-large for Southern Living and recently collaborated with Antonio Melani to create a clothing collection for Dillard’s. Kimberly’s most recent book, “A Loving Table,” is a collection of inspiring tables and entertaining styles of 34 tastemakers that show how they keep traditions alive that have been passed down from mothers and grandmothers. Her book will be available for sale and signing at Dish & Bloom.
