You never realize how many tables you have to decorate and set until you plan a wedding! Today I’m sharing all the details of all the tables I decorated for my daughter’s fall wedding. I saved a lot of money doing this part myself and I love how everything turned out! Using fall colors for the fall wedding tablescapes and decorated table areas was one of my favorite things! Check out all the decorated tables below!

I’ll link everything at the bottom of the post. All the faux florals are greenery are from my online home decor shop called Evolution Home Decor. I will add these links at the bottom of the post too! Feel free to email me or leave a comment below if you have any questions!

Table Centerpieces

The Long Tables

For the long tables, I used sheer ivory table runners down the middle. I ordered fresh eucalyptus garlands from a floral shop that were premade and this saved me a lot of time. I then added in some of the faux fall flowers into the garlands to carry over the same theme as I was using in the round tables. I added in some framed photos of the happy couple, gold mercury glass votive candles and the table number. We also created a QR code and printed it out onto little cards and placed those on the table so everyone could share their photos or videos from the day with the bride and groom.

The Round Table Centerpieces

For the round tables, I made these centerpieces ahead of time. All of the flowers and greenery are artificial and are from my fall collection in my online store. I will share the sources at the bottom of the post. I also used tablecloths on the round tables that we rented through the venue along with the napkins. The tablecloths were a creamy white color and the napkins were a peachy pink color that went well with the fall wedding color palette my daughter had chosen.

I made the centerpieces ahead of time so that I could take them to the venue and set them on the tables. I arranged them in gold compotes and since they were made with faux flowers and greenery, I didn’t have to worry about them dying. I made them a week ahead of the wedding and I’m so glad I did that!

The adorable Bridesmaids and my sweet girl.

The Welcome Table

I decorated a few tables at the entrance to the venue welcoming the guests and a gift table. For the welcome table, I added a custom guest book that I had made from all their engagement photos. Each page had a photo and guests could sign all the different pages and wish the couple well. I also put some other decorations on the table and more framed photos of the couple.

Next to the guest book table we hung a welcome sign (template also from Etsy linked at the bottom) on a copper frame that I ordered off of Amazon and then I spray painted it gold. Next to the table, we set H & M marquee letters with lights that we rented next to the welcome table.

The Indoor Reception

Mixing Long Tables with Round Tables

We used a mix of long tables and round tables and I really loved having the two options. Both table options looked so beautiful and the overall layout of the tables look so lovely. I also decorated the chandelier above all the tables with the same faux florals and greenery that I used in the table centerpieces.

The Place-Settings

For the place settings, we opted for gold chargers, white dinner plates, and gold flatware. We were able to rent this from the venue which was super helpful. I made menu cards and table numbers using a template I got from Etsy (see link below). I bought the template and was able to add in all the details and print it out at the UPS store which was super easy. (I also got the welcome sign from the same Etsy shop) I added a silk ribbon under the menu card and then layered the napkins under the dinner plate to complete the look. Super simple, yet still elegant for our fall wedding tablescape.

Food Tables

The Buffet Table

For the dinner, we chose to do the buffet-style option as that was more affordable than the plated dinner. We also opted for a charcuterie table with a butterboard for the guests to nibble on while the wedding party did their wedding photos. I was so busy making sure everything was going as planned that I never even saw the charcuterie table or butter board so I’m so glad the photographer took pictures of it all!

I kept the decorations very simple on the food tables by layering some greenery, decorative signs, and pink table runners. I also added a lantern on the larger table with a white pillar candle.

The Charcuterie Table

The Cake Table

For the cake table, I added fresh flowers to the cake and a pink ball of roses. I also used these on the chairs where we held the wedding outdoors. See these other blog posts for more photos and details of the wedding)

The Best Fall Wedding Ideas from Start to Finish

Planning a Fall Wedding | Tips from My Daughter’s Wedding

The Reception Tables

The Queso Cheese Fountain Table

For the reception, the bride and groom wanted a queso cheese fountain with tortilla chips to go along with the bite-sized appetizers and desserts. Let’s just say it was a hit!

The Drink Table

We set up a soda/drink bar and everyone could make their own drinks! We had a menu with some different soda concoctions for people to make and I added some flowers to this table on the bar overhead.

Bride and Groom Table and Backdrop

We set a table just for the bride and groom. It was one of the longer tables so I decorated it with the same eucalyptus garland, sheer table runner, and flowers and then we added the Mr. & Mrs. signs that I also purchased from Hobby Lobby. This created a beautiful accent for our fall wedding tablescapes.

I wanted a backdrop behind the bride and groom so I used these two backdrops made out of old pallet wood. A friend of mine made them for me about eight years ago for my oldest son’s wedding and they have come in very handy! I use them all the time and they also worked out great to create this darling backdrop to frame the bride and groom table by adding photos of the couple from their engagement photos to gold frames of differing sizes and then hung them up on the wood backdrop. I then added pink ribbon behind them to make it look like they were hung by the ribbon. It turned out so cute!

My daughter wanted a neon sign so I ordered one from Etsy (link below) and we hung that in the center. I thought this was so darling and creative and the couple loved it!

The Watercolor Art Table

One of the most unique things we did during the wedding reception was to hire an artist to paint a live watercolor portrait of the bride and groom. The artist’s name is Drew Harris. He is based out of Idaho but as far as I know, he will travel. His info is linked here: Live Watercolor Artist

I hope you have enjoyed seeing more behind the scenes of my daughter’s wedding and the fall wedding tablescapes we set up. It was a beautiful, perfect day and I feel so blessed to have gained another wonderful son. He’s so darling and sweet and loves my daughter so much. They are the cutest couple!

As always, thanks for reading my blog and I hope you’ve found some inspiration here for your wedding. I’ve linked all the sources below but feel free to comment or email me anytime with any questions! Happy wedding planning!

xoxo,

If you’ve been following me for a while, you know how much I adore flower farms! Recently, I had the pleasure of visiting my friend Shannon DeHart’s breathtaking Chateau Monette Flower Farm near Payson, Utah. Shannon and I became friends through our Instagram accounts, and when she invited me to visit her farm, I couldn’t resist. My mom, who also shares my love for flowers, was visiting, so we decided to make the trip together. Shannon’s farm is now the location where we host an annual flower farm dinner party with friends!

Scroll to the bottom of the post for the Shop The Post section for sources.

The Farm

Chateau Monette Flower Farm is a true gem nestled in the hills of West Mountain near Payson, Utah. Shannon and her husband Jared manage the 80-acre farm, which boasts a stunning variety of cut flowers. Shannon’s journey began with a few hundred lavender plants back in 2012, and since then, her passion for growing flowers has only grown. Today, she shares the beauty of her blooms with others, creating a haven where nature’s splendor thrives.

Shannon is not just a talented gardener and flower farmer but also a devoted mother of nine. She loves teaching her children the value of hard work and the joys of the outdoors. Her flower farm is a place of growth, learning, and sharing the divine beauty of nature. Shannon welcomes the public to her farm with U-Pick, weddings, and other events. She is also opening a new farm shop where she will be hosting workshops and gatherings like our flower farm dinner party.

Hosting a Dinner Party

After our visit, Shannon and I became fast friends and decided to host a dinner for our friends at her farm. Our initial plan was to dine in the middle of the flower field, but Mother Nature had other ideas. As we were setting up, the wind picked up, and a brief rain shower forced us to move our tables into the greenhouse. Despite the weather, Shannon and I proved to be a fantastic team! She crafted beautiful centerpieces for the tables, while I brought the dinnerware and food.

The Invitations

The invitations were from an Etsy shop called The Printable Party and I absolutely love them! Shannon grows the prettiest dahlia’s so I thought a dahlia invitation would be perfect. The invitations are customizable templates that you add in your own details and then print them out, text, or email them. I love this as it makes it super easy and is so inexpensive!

The Centerpieces

Shannon made the centerpieces from all the flowers she grows on the farm. She arranged them in gold compotes and they were the perfect addition to the rest of the tablescape.

The Place-Settings and Tablescapes

For the place-settings, I chose a gold and white theme, mixing new and antique dinnerware. I used elegant gold and silver flatware, and white napkins with gold polka dots.

The Menu

I spent the day preparing some of my favorite homemade recipes and to say that everyone loved them was an understatement. I made a homemade charcuterie board for a starter, soup and salad for the main dish, my yummy braided french bread, and blackberry cobbler for dessert.

My Homemade Chicken Corn Chowder (recipe coming soon to the blog) is so good and so easy to make. My favorite part is using fresh corn on the cob. The sweetness of the corn compliments the other savory flavors in the soup.

Braided French Bread

This is the best bread recipe and is always loved by everyone!

Blackberry Cobbler with fresh blackberries I picked from my neighbor’s garden.

Salad with veggies from my garden and a vinaigrette dressing.

A charcuterie board with fruit, cheese, nuts, and crackers styled on my HomeWithHollyJ charcuterie board. Isn’t this the cutest! It even has my logo laser engraved on it.

Shannon made her delicious homemade lavender lemonade, which was a hit!

Cutting Flowers

After a delightful dinner, we ventured out into the flower field to cut flowers. Shannon and I shared some of our flower-arranging tips with our friends, and everyone created stunning arrangements to take home. The evening was truly magical, with a beautiful sunset casting a warm glow over the fields as we worked.

This has become a tradition with our friend group and everyone looks forward to it each year. For the dress code, we ask everyone to wear a dress, a sun hat, and shoes that can go into the flower field.

Our friends couldn’t stop raving about the incredible time they had. Shannon and I felt so grateful for each other and for this wonderful group of ladies who made the night so special. Their appreciation and joy made it all worthwhile.

This flower farm dinner party has become an annual tradition, and we are thrilled to be hosting another one in the coming weeks. Stay tuned for more details about our 2024 dinner soon! We will be hosting one in the fall of 2024 and inviting the public so watch my Instagram posts and stories or Chateau Monette Instagram for details to come should you want to come!

Hosting a dinner party at Chateau Monette Flower Farm was an unforgettable experience filled with laughter, love, and, of course, stunning flowers. It’s moments like these that remind me of the beauty of friendship and the simple joys of sharing nature’s bounty with those we love.

This was such a fun night and I’m looking forward to hosting another dinner party at Chateau Monette Flower Farm. I hope this inspires you to host a dinner party in a flower farm or some other beautiful setting. Gathering your friends together, sharing delicious food, and beautiful flowers is always a good thing!

Pink Paper Plate Tablescape

Hello Friends!

Today, I’m excited to share a delightful pink paper plate tablescape idea that proves you don’t need fancy china to set a beautiful table. Yes, you heard me right! We’re going to elevate our tablescape with none other than pink paper plates and an array of matching paper goods.

Now, I know what you’re thinking – paper plates? But trust me, when done right, they can be just as pretty as their ceramic counterparts. Let me show you how to create a super cute and oh-so-charming pink paper plate tablescape!

Disclaimer: This post does include affiliate links for your convenience. This is at NO additional cost to you but earns me a small commission. To read more, check out our disclosure policy.

1. Layering for Style

The key to creating an eye-catching tablescape with paper plates is layering. Start with a plastic (reusable) charger as your base and then a larger paper plate for the main dish. Then add smaller plates on top for dimension and for the other courses you plan for what food you are serving.

For this tablescape we had a main dish, salad, and dessert so I used three sizes of paper plates. You can also mix and match different shades of pink or patterns to add depth to your table setting as I did here. I used two of the hot pink plates and added the lighter pink salad sized plate in the middle.

Tap here to see another one of my paper plate tablescapes: How To Create a Festive Fall Paper Plate Tablescape

2. Matching Pink Accents

To tie the look together, I opted for matching pink plastic cups and cutlery. Consistency is key here, so stick to the pink theme and varying shades of pink throughout or mix in some varying patterns of pink that don’t clash. Don’t forget the small details! I used adorable pink paper doilies as place cards for each guest to add a personal touch to the table.

For an extra bit of fancy, unfold two napkins and layer then in an offset way and then pinch the middle and tuck them into the plastic cups. I love doing this with paper napkins. You can do them with solid colors or mixed patterns. Whatever you prefer!

Since we were hosting 30 people I used a diffeent placemat on the place settings at the island bar. I didn’t have enough gold chagers so I switched to white and pink placemats to keep the look consistent. It’s okay to mix and match as well.

3. Sweet Treats in Pink

No tablescape is complete without a little something sweet, right? I used pink paper cups filled with treats for each guest to enjoy. Whether it’s candies, chocolates, or even mini cupcakes, these little delights will add an extra touch of sweetness to your table. I used a mix of pink jelly beans and butter mints in this tablescape and my friends loved it!

4. Creating a Stunning Centerpiece

Now, let’s talk about the centerpiece! I almost always use a table runner and to keep with the paper theme, I used pink wrapping paper with specks of gold for the table runner and then I made the centerpiece on top of that by using faux flowers and greenery.

Here are some of my favorite faux blossoming branches. I will link the rest of the items I used or similar items at the bottom of the post under the Shop My Post section. Just tap on the images to go to the source.

Start by laying down a base of artificial greenery (or real if you prefer) to create a lush foundation. Next, add in faux cherry and apple blossom branches to infuse your garland with a touch of spring!

The combination of pink blossoms and mixed greenery will create a stunning focal point for your tablescape.

With just a few simple supplies and a dash of creativity, you can transform any meal into a memorable dining experience. So, the next time you’re hosting a gathering, don’t be afraid to think outside the box and embrace the beauty of paper plates. Until next time, happy decorating!

Gold and White Elegant Easter Table Decor

Transform your Easter gathering into a luxurious affair with a stunning Gold and White Tablescape. Elevate your Easter table with touches of gold and white delicate details. In this post, we’ll explore how to set an elegant Easter tablescape and place-settings that exude sophistication and elegance, incorporating the timeless allure of gold and white accents.

Disclaimer: This post does include affiliate links for your convenience. This is at NO additional cost to you but earns me a small commission. To read more, check out our disclosure policy.

Setting the Stage: Creating Elegant Place Settings

In this section, we’ll delve into the details of crafting beautiful place-settings for your Easter table.

Choosing Gold and White Dinnerware

Selecting the right dinnerware sets the tone for your tablescape. Opt for pristine white plates adorned with delicate gold accents for a touch of refinement. Whether you prefer classic patterns or contemporary designs, gold and white dinnerware adds an air of sophistication to any setting.

Enhancing with Gold and White Napkins

Complement your dinnerware with gold and white napkins. Fold them elegantly or adorn them with decorative napkin rings to elevate the presentation. The subtle gold edge compliments the gold and white dinnerware.

Elevating with Gold-Rimmed Wine Glasses and Flatware

Complete the look with exquisite gold-rimmed wine glasses and flatware. These gorgeous accents bring a sense of grandeur to the table, enhancing the overall aesthetic.

Blending Old and New: Mixing Antique Plates with Modern Pieces

For a touch of eclectic charm, mix and match antique gold and white plates with modern dinnerware. This juxtaposition of old and new adds depth and character to your tablescape, creating a visual feast for the eyes.

Don’t be afraid to experiment with different textures and patterns to achieve a truly unique look. My favorite gold and white antique plates to mix in are these antique Limoges Haviland Ranson pattern. I have collected these one by one.

Crafting the Centerpiece: A Radiant Focal Point

Now, let’s turn our attention to the centerpiece – the crowning jewel of your Easter table.

Incorporating Faux Spring Eucalyptus Greenery

Create a foundation for your centerpiece with faux spring eucalyptus greenery. Arrange the verdant foliage along the length of the table, weaving it between candlesticks and bunnies for a natural, organic feel. The vibrant green hues provide a refreshing contrast to the gleaming gold accents.

Adding Gilded Charm: Gold Easter Bunnies

Infuse whimsy and charm into your tablescape with gold Easter bunnies. I painted these adorable bunnies with gold spray paint and I love how they add a touch of playfulness to the table. When Easter is over, you can remove the Easter bunnies to transform the table into a gold and white elegant table.

The Backstory Behind this Easter and Spring Tablescape Idea

I was asked to host a special luncheon for the one and only Donny Osmond!

His daughter-in-law, Melissa Osmond, who is a friend of mine, reached out to me and said that Donny and his team wanted to announce his new show in Las Vegas and asked if I would host the luncheon in my home!

I, of course, said YES! I mean, who wouldn’t love an opportunity to have Donny Osmond come to their home!

Melissa Osmond and I, taking a moment to get a photo of us together.

It was an amazing experience, and I have to tell you, Donny is one of the most gracious and kind people. He does not act like he is famous in any way and is so down-to-earth and genuinely nice.

He took time to speak with all of the guests that were invited and spoke at length with my husband and children! He even remembered my kids’ names and that my two sons were both in the military. The cutest part by far was when he sang Puppy Love to my little Bernedoodles. I shared that on my Instagram a while back if you want to see it.

From Left to Right: Jordan Page-The Page Company, Lizi Heaps-The Food Nanny, Lizi’s mom, also named Lizi, Melissa Osmond, Donny Osmond, Holly Jolley(me)HomeWithHollyJ, Bethany Sinks, Seasons of My Home, Sandi Sumner Hendry, Founder and Owner of Minky Couture Blankets

Donny’s show in Las Vegas is now in its third season and going strong. A few months after he came to my home for the luncheon, all the ladies who were at the luncheon went to Las Vegas to see the show, and it was amazing!

I will never forget how fun it was, and we all got to hang out with Donny after the show. He especially loved the purple hair filter I used in my Instagram stories since he was obsessed with purple when he was a teenage heartthrob. Who remembers that? I guess I’m dating myself here!

Okay, now that you know the backstory, here are the details on how I created this mint green and white Easter and Spring Tablescape!

Place-Setting Perfection

Let’s start with the foundation of the table-setting.

I opted for a charming crocheted doily for the placemat, adding a touch of vintage flair.

On top of that, a white wooden charger sets the stage for the rest of the place-setting.

For the dinnerware, I kept it classic with mint green solid dinner plates and these cute salad plates adorned with an adorable white Easter bunny pattern.

Here are some other Easter dishes I recently added to my ShopHollyJHome Online Shop:

To complete the ensemble, a scalloped bowl adds just the right amount of texture and sophistication.

I used this table for both the Donny Osmond Luncheon and for Easter.

I usually choose what pieces of dinnerware I’m going to set the table with based upon the menu. I’ve shared all the recipes below!

A Delectable Easter Menu

Elegant Pink White and Black Tablescape with Vista Alegre Dinnerware

As winter’s chill wanes on, there’s nothing quite like gathering loved ones around a beautifully set table to warm the soul. Today, I’m thrilled to share with you this Pink, Black, and White Tablescape that’s both elegant and cozy, featuring the exquisite Vista Alegre Herbariae dinnerware collection all the way from Portugal.

Disclaimer: This post does include affiliate links for your convenience. This is at NO additional cost to you but earns me a small commission. To read more, check out our disclosure policy.

Vista Alegre: A Legacy of Elegance

For over 200 years, Vista Alegre has been synonymous with fine craftsmanship and timeless design. The Herbariae collection, in particular, captivates with its delicate botanical illustrations in soft shades of pink, black, and white.

Each piece is a work of art, meticulously crafted to bring sophistication to any table setting.

Setting the Scene

To showcase the beauty of the Vista Alegre dinnerware, I’ve opted for a color scheme that complements its elegance. A mix of pink, black, and white accents creates a striking contrast against a backdrop of winter whites.

If you love this Pink, Black, and White tablescape, check out these other beautiful tables featuring Vista Alegre Dinnerware.

Elegant Winter Themed Tablescape

A Beautiful Blue and Gold Themed Winter Tablescape

Winter Garland Centerpiece

At the heart of the table, a lush garland of winter greens intertwines with delicate white and pink florals, adding a touch of seasonal charm. The garland serves as a natural runner, perfectly framing the Herbariae dinnerware and tying the whole look together.

Would you believe that all the flowers and greenery are faux? The quality of artificial flowers and greenery has some so far! I will link all the sources below!

Adding the Finishing Touches to this Pink, Black, and White Tablescape

No tablescape is complete without thoughtful details. Tall, slender candlesticks cast a warm glow, while sleek flatware, also from Vista Alegre, adds a modern touch. For the napkins, I’ve opted for a playful twist by layering two linen napkins together for extra fluffiness and then I used black and white striped ribbon in lieu of traditional napkin rings. Layering a black and white napkin adds a touch of whimsy to each place setting.

I always add candlesticks and taper candles when I can to a tablescape. The ones I used were extra tall and I placed three at each end of the table. I absolutely love the ambiance candles add to any table once they are lit.

Final Thoughts on this Pink, Black, and White Tablescape

Creating a beautiful tablescape is all about attention to detail, and with Vista Alegre’s Herbariae dinnerware collection as the focal point, every detail shines. Whether you’re hosting an intimate gathering or a festive celebration, let your table reflect the warmth and elegance of the season.

I hope this inspires you to create your own memorable moments around the table. Until next time, happy decorating!

Hey there, fellow home enthusiasts and Holly J fans! Today, I’m thrilled to share with you the heartwarming tale of how we celebrated Galentine’s Day in style with a delightful breakfast gathering that brought together daughters, daughters-in-law, and granddaughters!

Disclaimer: This post does include affiliate links for your convenience. This is at NO additional cost to you but earns me a small commission. To read more, check out our disclosure policy.

For those who might not be familiar, Galentine’s Day is a celebration of female friendship and solidarity, made famous by the TV show “Parks and Recreation.” It’s all about honoring the wonderful women in our lives, whether they’re friends, family, or both, and showing appreciation for the special bonds that unite us.

So, with Galentine’s Day fast approaching, I decided to throw a Galentine’s Day breakfast at my home, inviting my daughters, daughters-in-law, and granddaughters to join me for a morning of festivities. But this wasn’t just any ordinary gathering; it was a multi-generational affair filled with love, crafts, treats, and, of course, pajamas!

Must-Haves

At the center of it all was a stunning breakfast board overflowing with an assortment of fruit, heart-shaped waffles, muffins, and a Valentine’s treat charcuterie board.

My darling girls!

I love to host a party, especially when it involves my grandchildren. They light up my world! I wanted to make this a fun gathering for the little ones as well as my daughter and daughters-in-law. I set the cutest Valentine’s Day Tablescape and added a homemade sugar cookie to the top of each plate.

Check out the Red, Pink, and White Valentines Day Tablescape!

But the festivities didn’t stop there. Oh no, we also had a special craft activity planned to engage the little ones and unleash our creative spirits. With the grandkids by our side, we embarked on a journey to create white clay fingerprint hearts – a sentimental keepsake that would serve as a reminder of our love and bond for years to come. Laughter filled the air as we molded the clay, pressing our fingertips into its soft surface to create one-of-a-kind masterpieces that I will treasure in the coming years.

Treat Charcuterie Board

And let’s not forget about the Valentine’s treat charcuterie board! It was a sight to behold! All the girls wanted to get in on the action when we made this! I bought a bunch of different valentines candies and treats to make this charcuterie board. The grandkids enjoyed it a lot! LOL!

But perhaps the highlight of the day was when everyone received their new pajamas – a cozy and stylish ensemble that added an extra layer of coziness to our Galentine’s Day celebration.

As the morning turned into afternoon and the laughter subsided, we bid farewell to another Galentine’s Day well spent. But the memories we made and the bonds we strengthened will stay with us forever, serving as a testament to the power of families coming together to create memories that I hope will last a lifetime.

Happy Galentine’s Day, dear friends!,

The Focal Point: Centerpiece Garland

Let’s start with the focal point: I used a table runner and layered the centerpiece garland on top of it. Then I made the garland using frosted pines, frosted peonies and eucalyptus. This is one of my favorite ways to make a garland for the winter season, and then add in different items that work for the different holidays in the winter season. You can see more about how I do this in this blog post here: How to Create a Versatile Winter Centerpiece Garland.

The Table-Setting:

I love to create layers in my place settings. For this particular tablescape, I used a red heart placemat, a red beaded dinner plate, a white scalloped salad plate, and a pink beaded heart dessert plate. I also added some homemade Valentine’s cookies to the top of the dessert plate. I then added a red and white checkered napkin under the white plate to create some contrast.

Next, I added some pink hearts to some gold placecard holders, gold flatware and clear glass goblets.

Pretty In Pink Valentine’s Day Tablescape

To add some more romantic vibes to the tables, I used mango wood candleholders with red candlesticks and some white “love” words at the end of each table. (The LOVE words are from Hobby Lobby.)

This tablescape isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about creating moments that will be cherished for a lifetime. Whether you’re celebrating with a longtime partner, a new flame, or simply reveling in self-love, may this Valentine’s Day be filled with warmth, connection, and the sweetest of memories.

With the warmer days of spring and summer soon upon us, it’s the perfect time to gather family and friends together. One way to make your gatherings even more memorable is by setting a beautiful spring or summer tablescape with anemone flowers from your garden or a local flower farm. I love growing my own flowers and using them in my centerpieces for my tablescapes and when there is a flower that I want to use and don’t have, I reach out to my flower farmer friends.

My friend Amy Brown and her husband Steve, own Laughing Goat Flower Farm in Enumclaw, Washington which is not far from my Ravensdale home. She grows beautiful flowers and we have become good friends over the years sharing our love of flowers, good food, and setting a beautiful table.

I received these dishes as a gift from a brand called Bico Ceramics and when I saw the anemone flowers on the dishes, I called Amy and sure enough, she had these beautiful anemone flowers.

I visited her at the farm and then put them in a vase and carried them onto the plane with me and took them back to our Utah home! This is not uncommon for me to do since I have two homes and go back and forth between them.

In my defense, a lot of people visit the famous Pike Place Market in Seattle which is famous for its fish and beautiful flower bouquets. It’s not uncommon to see visitors carrying these flower bouquets onto the airplane so no one looked at me strangely thank goodness! HaHa!

I also bought some other flowers and greenery from a local floral shop to go with the anemone flowers I brought back from Washington.

In this post I’m going to share all the beautiful details with you on how I created this tablescape full of one of my favorite flowers, Anemone Flowers!

Step 1: Choose Your Color Palette

Start by selecting a color palette. The purple and white anemone dishes were the initial inspiration for this color palette and then of course, the anemone flowers were also inspiration for this tablescape.

Step 2: Gather Tableware and Linens

To complement the color scheme, choose tableware and linens that showcase the chosen colors. I love to layer my plates on top of a charger and placemat.

In this tablescape, I used the Bico Ceramics dinnerware, a woven hyacinth placemat, silver flatware, clear water goblets, silver rimmed wine glasses, and green ruffled napkins with a wooden napkin ring.

Step 3: Create a Beautiful Centerpiece with Anemone Flowers

The anemone centerpiece is the focal point of the table.

Step 4: Add Subtle Accents

Enhance the beauty of the tablescape by incorporating subtle accents such as bud vases with the remaining flowers left from making the centerpiece. You can also add candles!

Step 5: Embrace Natural Elements

Embrace the spring or summer season by incorporating natural elements into your tablescape. I used a mix of greenery in the centerpiece and a few other purple and white flowers to fill in the rest of the arrangement. I also mixed in some natural wood elements into the tablescape with the placemats, wood napkin rings, and wood candle holders.

Step 6: Play with Heights

Varying the heights of your decor elements adds visual interest to the tablescape. Use candle holders or small stands to elevate some of the floral arrangements. This helps create an inviting table.

Step 7: Personalized Place Settings

For a thoughtful touch, consider personalized place cards for each guest. You can write their names on small cards and tuck them into the napkins or attach them to unique placeholders. I didn’t use any place cards on this tablescape because this was an informal dinner for our immediate family but I love to add them when it’s more formal and a larger group.

Step 8: Candles

Candles create a warm ambiance to any dinner table. Add in some candlesticks with taper candles if you like. I love doing this any time of year and any time of day! If you’re hosting dinner outside, candles also help with lighting as the sun sets!

With the right color palette, beautiful anemone flowers, and a dash of creativity, you can create a stunning purple and white spring or summer tablescape that will leave a lasting impression on your guests.

So, gather your loved ones and relish in the joy of shared moments around a beautifully adorned table!

XOXO,

Thanksgiving Tablescape with Solino Home Linens

Thanksgiving is a time of gratitude, celebration, and indulging in delicious food and spending time with loved ones. As you prepare to host your gathering this coming fall, creating a beautiful and inviting tablescape is something I enjoy doing. Welcoming everyone into my home for the holidays is something that brings me joy and happiness. There is nothing better than gathering around the dinner table and sharing a home cooked meal with my loved ones and this thanksgiving tablescape with Solino Home Linens is one of my favorites yet!

This year, why not take your Thanksgiving table decor to the next level with the exquisite linens from Solino Home? Known for their superior quality and sustainable production methods, Solino Home offers a stunning range of linens that will effortlessly elevate your Thanksgiving tablescape to new heights.

The Table Linens

The Table Runner

A well-chosen table runner serves as the foundation for your tablescape, instantly transforming an ordinary table into a visual masterpiece. I used this white and natural table runner from Solino Home. The collection I used in this tablescape is called Contempo and it comes in many colors.

The white and natural colors are simple, yet elegant and worked well with my rustic reclaimed wood dining table.

Linen Napkins for a Touch of Refinement

No Thanksgiving table is complete without a set of exquisite napkins, and Solino Home offers a stunning selection of linen napkins that will be cherished for years to come.

Whether you prefer crisp white napkins for a traditional aesthetic or want to infuse a pop of color with their charming range of shades, Solino Home has you covered.

The napkins are meticulously crafted with attention to detail. You can enhance your table’s visual appeal by incorporating unique folding techniques or by using napkin rings as stylish accent.

In this tablescape, I used wooden napkin rings for the linen napkins. To create this look, just unfold the napkin (I ironed them first), pinch the middle of the napkin with your fingers and let the napkin hand downward. Then slide the napkin ring over the pinched section and pull the napkin through the napkin ring. Fluff it up a bit if needed. You can lay the napkin on the left side of the place-setting with the napkin pointing up or down. I like doing it both ways. You can also put the napkin on top of the plate if you want to shake things up. There are so many different ways to style napkins and ways to place them.

Coordinated Placemats

Solino Home also offers a wide variety of styles and many beautiful collections to choose from. I love that you can mix and match many of their linens as each collection comes in many colors. All the table linens I used in this tablescape are from the Contempo Collection.

Don’t forget the Centerpieces

When I was getting ready to set this table with these beautufiul dishes and linens, I reached out to my good friend Shannon who owns and grows the most beautiful flowers on her flower farm called Chatuea Monet, located in Payson, Utah.

I sent her images of the dinnerware and linens and had planned to drive to her farm to get flowers and then she showed up at my house with these two incredibly beautiful centerpieces! I was so grateful as I was running short on time. Shannon is one of the kindest, most genuine people I know and she is an amazing flower farm and florist. These centerpieces she made are so beautiful!

Transform your Thanksgiving feast into an unforgettable event with Solino Home’s exquisite linens. By incorporating their table runners, tablecloths, napkins, and placemats, you can create a tablescape that exudes timeless elegance, warmth, and refinement. Adding some beautiful fall flowers to your table will also make this a Thanksgiving tablescape you will always remember!

Solino Home’s commitment to sustainability and their impeccable craftsmanship ensure that you’ll enjoy these linens for many more memorable Thanksgiving gatherings to come. This year, let your table be a reflection of your gratitude and love, setting the stage for a truly extraordinary celebration. Now, go and gather those you love and set the table!
