Blush Pink and Gold Tablescape

Hello to you all.  Can you believe that Valentine's is just a few days away?  I just don't know where the time goes lately.  Today, I am excited to share my Blush Pink and Gold Tablescape.  

This year, I decided to host an early Galentine’s lunch for a few of my favorite girlfriends.  I just think it's always nice to appreciate the close friendships that we have.  What girlfriend wouldn't enjoy a table set in beautiful soft shades of pink and creamy white.  And I I always “hop” at the chance to style a pretty table.

For this table, my intention was to create an elegant and inviting table with a vintage vibe which incorporated a few modern pieces to keep it fresh and current.

Place Setting:

I kept the colors of my table setting soft and feminine.  After all, it is a table that will be enjoyed by women and I do love to make my guests feel extra special when they come to our home.  

A simple cream tablecloth dresses the table while a place mat from Ikea in a soft pink shade begins my place setting. I’m such a fan of Ikea!!!  For the dinner plate, I used a vintage pattern called Billingsley Rose by Spode which is one of my favorite patterns of all time.  I then added a simple pink salad plate from Pottery Barn which I topped with a butter dish in the same Spode pattern.  For shimmer and a bit of glam, I used gold flatware by Lenox.  For drinkware, a mix of glasses from Anthropologie with plenty of gold touches were added.

Element of Surprise:

For a special treat, I placed a mini Chandon Rose bottle at each place setting.  I just had to add these to my table!!  The bottles were so adorable and they match my theme perfectly.  

Flowers:

I am a firm believer that flowers are key when styling a table.  They play an important role in the overall feel of a table.  So when styling your table, remember to keep into account all the ways a well-designed floral arrangement can contribute to the finished look of your dining table.  Your flowers will be the center of attention and should be visually attractive.  It should also tie-together the theme of your table.  Roses and greenery placed in modern gold vases give this centerpiece a modern vibe while a couple of vintage tea cups add a bit of surprise and whimsy.  And you know I had to add my signature pearls!!!

I hope I have inspired you to create your own pretty table this Valentine's Day.


Enjoy the rest of your week.
