Entertaining at home is the way to go in these cold winter months, so right now I am embracing a beautiful winter white color scheme for my tablescapes. {I was actually inspired by some of the stunning wedding flowers on my ‘Wedding Details’ Pinterest board.} The first step to creating the look was finding an assortment of romantic winter flowers for the bouquets. My friend Carly, a local to the flower scene, suggested anemones, ranunculus, dusty miller, hydrangea, brunia, and eucalyptus. After a bit of snipping and arranging, three vases were created to run along the center of the table.
Keeping with this white, elegant, and classic table theme I got to work on the tablesetting. I started with round white placemats and topped with white dinner plates and two-toned ikat salad plates. For napkins, I chose simple linen Kim Seybert napkins with a Greek key detail {currently on sale at Barney for $12!}. For glasses, I wanted an elegant mix of crystal so I started with my Villeroy & Boch Boston Claret set for water glasses. Then a table this fancy requires serving adequate bubbly, so I placed my Juliska Amalia Boxed Flutes out rather than usual wine glasses.
Interspersed between the three flower arrangements I placed little votives filled with unscented tea light candles so I could really dim the lights for guests. The the finishing touches were a pretty cake stand and large silver candlesticks. The cake stand {a 3 -tiered cake stand by Mariposa} was the main centerpiece of the table and I packed it full of white frosted cupcakes {beyond delish}. Then at the very front end of the table {the first thing guests would see as they enter the dining room}, I placed my favorite candlestick duo with tall unscented candles.
I am so in love with the way this came out. And the surprisingly great part is it’s relatively simple to re-create at home. Most people own white dinner and salad plates, so really the main element missing is a selection of white flowers.
What do you do to make staying in on these cold winter nights special? I would love to hear in my comments section below!
