A Sunny Spring Table Two Ways - Using Basic White Plates

If you are passionate about entertaining like I am, then you know that investing in a set of white dinnerware is a must.  They are essential for food stylists, bloggers, cookbook authors and for anyone that prefer a timeless and versatile option for everyday use.  

A set of white plates can be instantly transformed into something special and sophisticated by simply adding a patterned tablecloth.  Elevate the table with  romantic flowers, vintage flatware and stylish napkins.  Even a chic place card can do wonders!  

Lately, I've noticed that I am sticking to basic pieces and adding personality and seasonal touches with accent/salad plates.  So much less to store with minimal out-of-pocket costs.

My favorite white plates mix easily with seasonal accents to create a table that welcomes springtime.  Cheerful yellow and vibrant tulips spread the joy of the season on this happy table.

I've created two inviting spring tables using basic white plates topped with floral accent plates to show you that you can style a beautiful table with little effort.



The first table begins with a white tablecloth and yellow table runner.  The place setting is a combination of yellow round loop placemat, white and gold plate charger, gold rim dinner plate and yellow floral accent plate.



White and gold flatware add elegance while a rosette napkin fold brings a unique touch of spring to the table setting.  Sunny tulips in a white pitcher is a subtle nod to the season. 



Can you imagine yourself her?  Fragrant blossoms and pretty china set the scene for an extraordinary morning meal.

 








The second table plays on the blue hues on the vintage accent plate.  A quick switch of the wine glass and salad plate makes this table ideal for a laid-back afternoon lunch or brunch.












I hope this post will help you find a few ideas to create your own lovely table for family and friends.  


Be blessed and safe.


Janet

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
