Romantic & Girly Tablescape

Hello everyone.  I hope your week was productive and wonderful.

Today I am happy to share a true feminine table.  Charming, romantic with plenty of girly touches. 

For this table, I stayed true to my romantic style.  And you already know that I love mixing pretty vintage china with modern pieces.  I just think it adds personality and makes an everyday meal extra special.  But to successfully mix and match dinnerware, you'll need to keep a few things in mind.  Stick to one color palette!

For this table, the dominating color palette is blue and white.  Frankly, blue and white never gets old for me.  It is always a perfect combination.  Since my small accent plates are pale blue, I chose to layer powder pink and white plates to compliment their delicate beauty.

When it comes to mixing patterns on  tablescape, do not worry about getting it wrong.  Just be sure to vary the scale!  If you are using a floral accent plate then use a neutral tone dinner and salad plate to add depth.  It will also make your floral plate stand out even more.






Don't forget the table jewelry!!!  Add complementary glassware and flatware. For a modern take on a vintage style table, I like to use modern gold toned flatware and colored stemware. 







For flowers, whether fresh or faux, use colors complementary to those found on the plates.








When it comes to giving your table personality and interest, remember to use unexpected objects - consider vintage vases, candleholders, jewelry, delicate heirlooms.  Here, I added my signature pearls, roses and small vintage bust which adds femininity and flair.



I hope my tips for setting a romantic table are helpful and it inspires you to create your own version. I think this table would be ideal for a girly brunch, bridal shower or Mother's Day.  

So remember, whether you are serving filet mignon or toast and jam, make it beautiful.
Have a lovely weekend sweet friends.

 Janet

      Thank you for your visit. I truly appreciate your kind words.
      Pink and gold are definitely here to stay. The word from the designers is that Pink is the new neutral. I can't wait to see what you create.

9 Steps for Hosting The Ultimate Spring Birthday Tea Party

Hi friends - I've missed you all.  Things are rapidly changing for us all.  Many of us are working from home these days, stopped gathering with family and weekend outings are basically trips to the supermarket to restock.  It's the least that we can do to help stop the spreading of this horrific virus that is changing the world as we know it.  That being said, I am so glad that I got to spend time with family and friends two weeks ago when we all came together for the celebration of my Goddaughter Daniella's birthday.  We had a blast and the memories made are ones that will live in my heart forever.     My sincerest thank you to everyone that helped me put this beautiful event together.  Especially my cousin, Jennifer of Having Fun Craft s, for making all the gorgeous place cards and backdrops.  They were a beautiful addition to the overall decor.  A big thank you and hug to my niece Ericka for flying in from Florida to help me put it all together and to the amazi

Wood Box Rustic Floral Arrangement Tutorial

So what do you do with an old wooden bit box found at a flea market???  Well, the answer is very simple for those of us that love all things vintage and worn...  We display flowers of course.   And luckily, I scored big on my trip to my local grocery store yesterday. Our flower vendor had the most spectacular roses in stock.  I couldn't believe how gorgeous they were.  Two tone roses in the most delicate soft shades of pink and fuchsia.  I knew these roses were meant for me!!!  I grab two bunches and practically ran home to snap a few shots of them and arrange them to showcase their timeless beauty. So today, I am sharing a tutorial on how I made this rustic centerpiece...  The best part of this tutorial, is that there are no fancy materials needed.  The only items required are the flowers, a few glass tumblers, water and floral shears or scissors.  And in less than 10 minutes, you will have a spectacular centerpiece that will rival any one that you may purchase at a Floris

A Country Christmas Tablescape

Until this Christmas, I had no idea that I was going to be having a little obsession with vintage trucks. Specifically, red pickup trucks.  Me, the girl that loves to decorate with delicate flowers and romantic fabrics.  Hard to believe but it is true!!!  And decorating with vintage cars is seems to be having a moment..  They are everywhere!! So today, I am happy to share one of my most pinned and shared tablescapes.  It is my Country/Farm house themed Christmas table which showcases my latest find. You guess it!  A red pickup truck.  It was just too adorable to pass up.  I didn't know what use it would have in my decor when I first brought it home but it quickly became the inspiration for all of our Christmas decorating the last two holiday seasons. Such a fun piece to own with a great vintage vibe too.   My whimsical table begins with a distressed wood charger in antique white, topped with simple white plates and Pier 1 Imports Glad Tidings Porcelain Salad plates.  I al
