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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Check out my post here for some ideas on how to style napkins: Easter Table Place Settings and Napkin Ring Ideas

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!

Nature has a way of inspiring us in countless ways, and one of the most fascinating creatures that captivate our attention is the humble bee. Known for their diligent work ethic and vital role in pollination, bees have become a symbol of harmony and interconnectedness. Beyond their ecological importance, bee-themed decor has gained popularity the past few years.

Pioneer Day in Utah

I live in Utah part time and one of my favorite things about living here is that Utahan’s celebrate their own special holiday called Pioneer Day. Utah is known as the Beehive State because beehives are synonymous with industry and perseverance, values which were praised by Utah’s founders. Bees are famously hard workers, toiling tirelessly for the well-being of their hive. (Why is Utah called the Beehive State?)

Utah was settled by the Mormon pioneers looking for a better life free of religious persecution so every July 24th, these early settlers are celebrated with this special holiday. My ancestors were some of the original settlers of Utah and thanks to the great genealogical resources of the LDS church and my mothers hard work, I have been able to learn all about my ancestors who left their homes in England, Wales, Denmark, and Sweden to start a new life in Utah. They all crossed the plains in covered wagon and settled through the state of Utah and eventually Idaho. I am always moved by reading their stories and learning about their difficult journey west.

Every year when I’m in Utah over Pioneer Day, I love to gather all our family who still live here to celebrate and I love using this beehive theme to decorate my table.

In today’s post, I’m sharing some of my past bee themed decor and tablescapes along with a few other bloggers. I hope you enjoy todays post all about bees!

My tip for you with bee themed decor? Embrace nature-inspired color schemes! Bee-themed decor naturally lends itself to a warm and inviting color palette. Incorporate shades of yellow, black, and white into your space to capture the essence of these industrious creatures or you can pick any color that you like. I’ve used all sorts of colors that go well with yellow including blue!

Check out this Instagram Reel I’ve shared in the past of my beehive themed tablescapes.

This post has some fun ways I’ve used Bee-Themed decor in my tablescapes. I created this for Pioneer Day last year, 2022. I love the black and gold color palette.

Beehive Themed Party Tablescape

And last but not least, another one of my beehive tablescapes. This was another one of my pioneer day tablescapes that I absolutely loved. I didn’t do place-settings for this tablescape, instead I created this buffet style table and served the food from here. I love all the different bee themed decorations including the beehive candles, honeycomb bowls, antique honey pot for the flower arrangement, and beehive shaped rolling pin and I added honey to the table and made a beehive cake.

Bee-themed decor is a wonderful way to bring the beauty of nature into your home. By incorporating elements inspired by bees, such as color schemes, furniture, artwork, textiles, accessories and food, you can create a space that exudes warmth, charm, and a touch of whimsy.

Whether you’re drawn to their ecological importance or simply enchanted by their delicate beauty, bee-themed decor offers a unique and stylish way to celebrate nature’s smallest yet most impactful creatures. So, buzz with creativity and let your home come alive with the magic of bee-inspired design!

Fourth of July Table Settings

The Fourth of July is a time to come together and celebrate the spirit of independence and patriotism. Whether you’re hosting a backyard barbecue, a festive gathering with friends and family, or simply want to add a touch of patriotic flair to your dining table, creating a stunning Fourth of July tablescape can elevate your celebration to new heights. In this blog post, I’ll guide you through the process of designing a captivating and memorable tablescape and share some ideas and inspiration on how to create beautiful Fourth of July Table Settings.

Choose a Patriotic Color Palette

Embrace the vibrant colors of the American flag by incorporating a patriotic color palette into your tablescape. Opt for a combination of red, white, and blue as the primary colors.

The blue and white Buffalo check table linens served as the inspiration for this Fourth of July tablescape.

The table runner, placemats, and napkins are from Solino Home and they worked perfectly for this red, white and blue tablescape. To bring in pops of colors, I used red silverware, blue dinnerware, and cobalt blue glasses.

Mix in rustic elements with the bright colors to help balance the boldness of the red, white, and blue color combination.

To do this I used rustic placemats, wooden candlestick holders, and wood napkin rings.

I also added in some white wooden stars and scattered them across the table, white taper candles, and red salt and pepper shakers.

Make a Festive Centerpiece

I like to make my own centerpieces for my tablescapes. For this tablescape, I arranged faux blueberries in an antique nepali water-pot vase and then added in some felt flags between the blueberries.

Napali Water Pot //  Gujar Water Pot //  Blueberry Pick // Blueberry Cluster Stem // Blueberry Spray// Felt Flags Option 2

It’s a very simple centerpiece that has all the patriotic colors of the table setting and helps carry over the rustic elements by using the wood vase. Sometimes simple is best!

Set your tablescape outdoors

I love having celebrations outdoors when weather permits and the Fourth of July is the perfect time of year to do this! We recently renovated our backyard and this Fourth of July themed tablescape is the first table I set outside in this brand new space. I had so much fun creating this Fourth of July place setting!

I hope this blog post gives some ideas and inspiration on how to create a fun and festive Fourth of July Place setting and Tablesape!
