As I have said on so many occasions, I love linens and tablescapes.  This gorgeous ruffled blue ombre tablecloth and architectural floral design is perfect.  This table setting has elegance all over it.

This beautiful  table can be used for a wedding or a special gala.  The white chair cap draped with crystal strands with matching table cover adds an extra panache to this setting.

Holiday Tablescapes

The holiday season is definitely upon us and everyone is in decorating mode.  Be it a beautiful home, a quaint apartment, or you're having a holiday wedding table decor is probably top on your list; it is for me.   

Given that I love tablescapes, this time of year is full of inexpensive ways to have a fabulous table with plenty of $$ left over.  Your tables can be as elaborate or as simple as you want them to be without breaking the bank.  

If you are having a holiday wedding take advantage of the decor that is already in the venue. They all decorate for the holiday so you may as well surround your ceremony and/or reception around the decorations that the venue has already set up.  Having friends over, use some of the ornaments or garland that you have stored away to decorate your table.

I can give you a list of ideas but I would rather show you some tablescapes that are cost effective and your guests will enjoy.

I love a beautiful table.  This can be used as a sweetheart table, an intimate table for two, or for three of your closest friends.  Whatever the case the only words that fit are..........elegant, girly, soft, beautiful, pastel, dainty, delicate, well-dressed, graceful, charming, and I can go on and on but I'll let you soak it all in.

Colorizing Your White Linen

Whether it's an intimate dinner party, a lavish wedding reception, or a holiday extravaganza you want to hear the oohs and aahs from your guests when they take their first look at your tables.

Often times the venues we use only offer white linen or just does not have the right shade of pink we really like.  Well never fear.  Don't worry about that white linen from the venue and if you have to, pull that white linen from your closet.  That's right use it.  Your tables can still be fabulous by adding color.

Strategically using ribbon and a colorful floral arrangement can 

draw the eye directly to your table.

These black vases and black napkins really make this table pop!

These beautiful apple green chairs and runner with floral 

arrangements set this table off   

Colorful placemats with colored dinnerware is always a plus

Color was created by adding different shaped bottles with floral stems

Decor Your Special Event to Life

Event decorations are usually eye catching as to bring attention  or a visual charm to your event.  The type of decor you use will depend on the type of occasion.  When choosing your colors or putting together the decorations, you should think about the reason you are having the event in order to achieve the look you are going for.

Decorating your event does not mean that you have to deplete your account.  You can achieve a variety of looks without spending a lot of money.

You can accomplish a great look by using a variety of lighting.  

Dim the lights or use up-lighting for a soft look and/or to change the coloring in the room.

Create a visual draw with the linen you choose, it can say it all.

A simple setting can be pleasing to the eye with draping and imagination.  

Always think about the type of event and what you want to relay

when choosing your tablescapes.

TableScape Tuesday

Tablescapes aren't just for venues anymore.  You can create beautiful tablescapes for your home dinner table too.  Be as elaborate or simple as you choose just make it beautiful and make it you.

Now, Let's Get Inspired!

Everything does not have to match.  The simplicity of white plates and vases and minimal florals let's your guests no they are welcome as they are.  Costs saving, comfortable, welcoming.

Another simple idea using color.  A few green napkins, flowers, apples and white linen tablecloth creates a beautiful theme.  This setting has the clear ghost chairs which are probably rented but that can easily be remedied with seating you have at home. 

I love this blue and purple pop of color.  The wooden rustic table allows the blue and purple to stand out.  Great combo.

 
If you want to be a little more elaborate this setting can take you there.  Still using white as a base for your place setting, the pink and black help to give you a more elegant and bold look. Pin It
