Pink Hearts Valentines Day Tablescape

Valentines Day is just around the corner and I wanted to share this darling Pink Hearts Valentines Day Tablescape. I shared some of these photos last year in a post titled How to Mix Valentines Day Decorations into your Winter Decor, but this is the first time I’ve shared all of the details and some close up photos. I’ll also include all the sources and like items that I can find at the bottom of the post.

The Place-setting

The place-setting was inspired by the pink watercolored heart dishes. I mixed them in with some other pink dishes that I found at Homegoods. I love layering dishes and the pink heart plates matched this set I already had perfectly. To keep with a wintery theme, I used a silver leaf placemat and a scalloped silver charger.

I used some frosty white goblets, a pink napkin with silver stitching, and a white napkin ring.

One of my favorite things is the word LOVE painted on the heart plates.

The Centerpiece Garland

I have an obsession with centerpiece garlands! I just love filling up the middle of the table with a garland and adding in items that correspond to the rest of the table.

How do I make these? Well, I’ve been promising a video tutorial so I’ll post that on my Instagram TV soon and if I can figure out how to add a video to my blog I’ll do that too!

I always start with a base later of greenery. On this particular one, I had already made a versatile winter green garland for the holiday season. I decided to add some pink flowers into it and I have to say that it’s one of my favorites! The frosty faux greenery mixed with the pink peonies and spray roses, as well as the frosted white peonies, made this one extra beautiful. Everything in this garland is artificial! Faux flowers and greenery have come a long way!

I also added in some painted pine cone picks and some ornaments left over from the holidays that looked like aspen tree bark. I like adding in the different layers and items to fill up the centerpiece. All these elements add texture and color.

In these photos you can see some of the details of the base garland. On the bottom there is a cedar garland and cedar branches. Next I layered in frosted pine branches and frosted eucalyptus. Then I finished off the greenery with some white frosted mistletoe stems with white berries and then added the pine cone picks.

Here is what it looked like on top of the table runner before I added in the pink valentines accents.

Adding in all the extra pink and white flowers made it a lot fuller. You can see how I’ve reused this same base greenery for the past three years with multiple tablescapes here: How To Create a Versatile Winter Centerpiece Garland.  I’ve lost count on how many tablescapes I’ve done using this same garland. I store it by sliding it onto a large piece of cardboard and then I pull up the sides and tape it shut. Then I wrap it in plastic to keep it from getting dusty and store it with my winter and holiday decor in my basement.

The Extra Details

One thing I love adding to my tablescapes is mini salt and pepper shakers. Its nice to have your own set close by so you don’t have to ask to pass the salt and pepper. The lids on these are pink and they added another cute layer to this table. I also used pink Himalayan salt! You could use white pepper too if you wanted to be extra creative! I couldn’t find anywhere to link these but I linked similar ones below and you could use rose gold spray paint on the lids if you wanted to achieve this same look.

I also added these mini love signs at the ends of the garland and it’s just an added touch. I always say the beauty lies in the details.

I hope you enjoyed all the beautiful details of this Pink Hearts Valentines Day Tablescape. I sure LOVED doing this one! I’ll share a few more photos below and then all the items will be linked at the bottom of the post. If I can’t find identical items, I’ll link like items if I can find them so you can recreate this or something close!

VALENTINES DAY TABLESCAPE

The post Pink Hearts Valentines Day Tablescape appeared first on Home With Holly J.

I wanted to gather the women in my life who have inspired or uplifted me and what better way to do that then hosting a Mother’s Day luncheon.

For the decorations, I went with a pastel color palette and set three different tables and a separate dessert table.

The Pink and White Table

For the Pink Table, I used fresh eucalyptus and pink spray roses to create the garland and centerpiece. I layered the garland on top of a white table runner. I typically use this table outdoors in the summer but it works great for the indoors too.

For the Pink Place-setting, I used pink and white dishes, a pink napkin, silver flatware, and glass goblets.

The Robins Egg Blue Table

For the Robbins Egg Blue Table, I used a burlap table runner and created a garland with faux greenery and flowers. This was a variation of my spring and easter tablescape. Click here to see the Easter version.

The place-setting consisted of a solid robins egg blue charger, a polka dot dinner plate, and a solid teal plate. I used wood napkin rings that tied into the rustic table and hyacinth placemat.

The Lavender and Green Table

The day before the luncheon my mom and I went out exploring and looking for lilac bushes. We found some in an abandoned lot and snipped some branches off for the lavender and green table. They smelled amazing!

The beautiful purple lilacs my mom and I found driving around the back roads of Utah.

To create the Lavender and Green Table I used a hyacinth solid placemat, a white charger, green dinner plate, and a lavender salad plate. The ruffled napkin matched the green plates perfectly.

I used some of the lilacs to create a small centerpiece and laid one of the green ruffled napkins in the middle to break up the stark white of the tablecloth.

The Menu

I planned the menu around how many people were coming. I like to make my own food for my parties but you can certainly cater it. Because I had about thirty people coming, I decided to make my Homemade Lasagna which is easy to make and serves a large amount of people. I made the sauce the night before so all I had to do was assemble the lasagna and bake it.

For the salad, I made Simple Tomato Cucumber Salad.

I love this recipe because it’s so light and so easy to make. It’s a perfect complement to the rich lasagna. I also served some rustic french bread . I didn’t make my own this time but my Braided French Bread recipe is to die for!

The Dessert Table

For dessert, I asked my sweet friend Ashely Klaja, also known as Living BeaUtahfully to make the dessert for the gathering. She made the most beautiful cakes and cupcakes. My favorite is her churro cupcakes!

Ashely is one the most talented cake baker/decorators I’ve ever seen. Her cakes are works of art and they all taste amazing too!

For the desert table I used my pastel colored cake stands and a pink vase with some faux flowers for some added decoration. I also added some small bud vases with fresh flowers and added the flowers and eucalyptus to the top of the pink ombre cake. This is a great example of how you can mix fresh and faux flowers in your table decor.

This was an amazing day and it felt so wonderful to be surrounded by so many women that uplift and inspire me. I also loved that my mom, daughter, and daughter-in-law (who was pregnant with our first grand baby Quinn) were able to be there. Mothers are what make the world go around. I’m so glad I could gather these amazing women together and share a a beautiful lunch with them.

Happy Mother’s Day!

Wishing all of the amazing mothers out there a happy Mothers Day!

xoxo.

Pink and White Valentines Day Tablescape

If you are joining me from Vintage Society Co, welcome! I’m so happy you’re here for this Valentine’s Day Blog Hop! Who doesn’t love a pink and white Valentine’s Day Tablescape? I know I do! I set this table for a little potluck luncheon I hosted for some friends to celebrate Valentine’s Day. After we ate, we all took turns sharing what we loved about each other. It was so much fun, and everyone went away feeling loved and admired by the end of the lunch! We all need that once in a while, and what better time to share your heart than Valentine’s Day?

The Place-setting

I found the pink dishes at Homegoods, and after going to four different stores, I had enough for ten place-settings. My table seats ten, so I had to find at least that many! I also found five of each of these wicker platelets and decided it would still work if I used two different ones that looked very similar. If you can’t find enough of one item in your place-setting, you can mix and match when the patterns are similar.

I also found the napkins and napkin rings at Homegoods. The pink napkins had some silver beading along the top, so I used silver flatware. Since my placemats were white, I used white napkin rings to bring them all together.

The Centerpiece Garland

For the centerpiece garland, I used faux greenery and flowers. First, I laid a white table runner in the center of the table. Next, I layered a garland of mixed greens after fluffing it. Then I layered in some eucalyptus stems, and then pink and white flower stems. The green garland works as a base, and then I slide the stems into the greenery base.

(I’ll link everything at the bottom of the post)

I used pink and white peonies, cherry blossoms, and roses for the flowers.

The Final Accents

To add a little more color and create warmth, I always add in candles. This time I used pink votive candles, but you can use candlesticks or anything you like.

One extra detail I almost always add is individual salt and pepper shakers. I place them next to each place-setting. I always try to match them to my place-settings and they add a personal touch. You can also add in place cards for each guest. I didn’t do this for this tablescape, but it’s always a nice added touch if you have the time.

I hope you like this Pink and White Valentine’s Day Tablescape. It’s always fun gathering your friends around a table and sharing what you love about each other.

This Pink and Gray beautiful Easter Tablescape was so much fun!  Believe it or not, the inspiration behind this adorable table came from the bunny ear napkin rings and the gray easter bunnies.

Are these not the cutest napkin rings??!

The Place-Setting

For the place-setting I started with a gray and white round placemat. Next, I used off-white chargers, pink dinner plate, a white salad plate, and a smaller pink dessert plate.

For the napkin, I used a darker pink napkin with the bunny ear napkin ring and laid it sideways to showcase the napkin ring.

I chose gold rimmed glasses and gold flatware because the charger has some gold accents and tied all the layers together.

Some of the items are more formal and some are more whimsical. It was fun to mix some of these elements to create this charming and unique Easter table.

The Centerpiece Garland

For the centerpiece, I created a garland out of faux greenery on top of a pink ruffled table runner.

First, I laid a long garland on top of the table runner.

I then layered in faux eucalyptus stems and pink and white faux flowers. I chose to use peonies, roses, and apple blossom stems for the type of faux flowers.

There are some quality faux flowers that look so real you can’t tell the difference!

To complete the Easter table I nestled in some large pink metallic easter eggs into the garland and added the two large gray easter bunnies at either end.

This was such a fun table to create! I hope you enjoy it as well!

XOXO

I created this pretty pink and white Valentines tablescape for a family Valentines Day dinner. We always have Sunday dinner with our family and friends and I enjoy cooking for everyone, This tradition of sharing a meal at least once a week helps keeps our family close. Our children are all in college in Utah and when we are at the Highland house, we always try to get everyone together. I love that my grown children still want to come home and spend time with us.

I often use faux flowers for the garland or centerpiece on my table but when I went to the wholesale flower market and saw these beautiful pink garden roses, I knew I wanted to create a centerpiece with them. They were so beautiful and smelled amazing too! I grabbed a few other bunches of pinkish berries and some greenery to add in with the roses and some fresh eucalyptus to lay inbetween the candles.

Yellow/Pink Peony Stem

I used a rose gold compote to arrange the centerpiece in, rose gold candlesticks, and a pink napkin under the centerpiece (I’m thinking that I should have ironed it!!). Garden roses are my very favorite rose. They remind me of peonies which are one of my favorite flowers. Roses bloom longer than peonies thank goodness and it was a treat to find them in February.

For the place settings, I had found these pink dishes from Target (they no longer have them but I linked some similar ones below) and I layered them with some white plates I already had. The placemats were a HomeGoods find and I used my everyday silverware and goblets.

To fill up the empty space in the middle the table, I used some pink vases and rose gold votives. I really try to use things I have so I don’t have to buy a ton of stuff every time I do a tablescape. Over time, I’ve collected quite a few things but many of them are inexpensive and from places like HomeGoods and Target, I am always on the lookout for things that I can use in my home decor and tablescapes. Part of the fun is the hunt! Antique stores are also a great place to find vintage things that add so much character to your home.

I hope you feel inspired to create your own family Valentines dinner and celebrate the love you have for your own family. Try going around the table and taking turns sharing something you love about each person. It’s a fun way to create loving memories within your family and strengthen your connection with each other.

Happy Valentines Day!

xoxo
