The overall look of this table was bright and cheery, but a little busy for me. However, it got my brain swirling with ideas on a reunion brunch (my twenty year is almost here – eeks). I LOVE the idea of using a vintage photo for each gal’s place setting. This is also a cute idea for a major milestone – birthday or anniversary.
The Valentine, or Chocolate Fantasy table as I prefer to call it, was divine. Luscious reds and deep browns play nicely together. I especially love our new Portico Accent Plates. Don’t you love how the different textures of stoneware are layered? Look closely at the chocolaty surprise – a Hershey bar. Yum!
This table setting just captured my heart. How sweet is this for a Father’s Day get-together – especially if they like to fish! This table had fishing poles and goldfish crackers – just too cute! I know y’all are crazy about chalk boards, right? How cute to use one as the charger and write a special message at each place! This idea has play at all sorts of events.
And finally, check out all the beautiful layering of textures here. Our new Terra Vida Platter makes a beautiful charger in addition to a lovely accent in any room. I love the simplicity of tying a knot in the napkins and tucking in the flatware. Beautiful!
What clever idea have you used in a place setting?
