Where it all began…
In Erla’s world, everything is beautiful.
Erla Schleider is a South African mother of five with an innate sense for beauty and grace. Known for her impeccable taste and quiet elegance,
Erla spent years hosting unforgettable gatherings in her Houghton home, where every element—from the linen to the lighting—was curated with care. Her gift lies in the art of tablescape design and meaningful gifting, where attention to detail transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary.
Today, she channels that same artistry into The Main Table, an Event Detail Atelier devoted to crafting refined, bespoke pieces—hand-embroidered napkins, elevated favors, and custom keepsakes. Every creation reflects her signature blend of sophistication and meticulous care, designed to make each celebration feel deeply personal and beautifully complete.
