20th Barscape - Italian Black & White...

Happy Tablescape Thursday!  So excited - we are two weeks from my niece's wedding!  Since I had the table set for our dinner party with a chef theme - I set the barscape for 3 (we were expecting a guest for dinner) carrying the theme from my tablescape to the barscape. < NEXT POST - THE WEDDING TABLESCAPE - COME BACK AND VISIT TO SEE IT>
Simple - black & white with a touch of red...

Was able to use my newly acquired black candy dish and black and white creamer/sugar bowl.
Some red, white & black candles -


Added alternating black & white flower bowls with a soup spoon.

21st - Barscape - Shades of Purple

Color coordinatig since I still have the wedding tablecape up in the dinning room only seemd appropriate to keep my Niece Tiffany' color scheme going.  So here is my "shades of purple" barscape!

19th - Barscape - Turquoise & White

Just trying to hold on to some summer colos a bit before we sink our teeth into Fall and all the holidays!  Bright turquoise did it for me! 

Using neutral color dishes set on bright colored turqoise placemats...

The napkin rings are caterpillars...

Got these plates from Big Lots for $2.00...loved the subtle colors almost neutral.

THE WEDDING TABLESCAPE - 36th Tablescape!

In honor of my niece, Tiffany's wedding (my sister Dawn's Oldest daughter) here is my wedding tablescape.  Put it together using her wedding colors the pictures say it all!  Love you Tiff, know you and Steve will be very happy together!


 End to end view...
 and in attendance are Mr. & Mrs. Potatoe Head.....
 During the bachlorette party we went to the toy store at Disney - and had a blast picking out Mr. Potatoe head pieces for my great nephew(s)....So of course we had to have the Bride & Groom - Mr. & Mrs. Potatoe Head....


 Square, silver charger with a white Platzgraff plate - then a white/silver flowered paper-plate with a clear glass plate on top.
 I got these coffee tumblers as a wedding present when I got married...
 The wedding cake is stackable boxes - I was able to find this set brand new, still wrapped in plastic for $5.06 at Goodwill.  The topper is from another thrift store - $2.99 and the little flower girl veil was from yet another thrift store for $1.


 Scattered rose petals all over the table.

 The placecard holders are little bells - they are from the Dollar Tree - 6 for $1....written on them are words needed in any good marriage...


The bride dragging the groom was the topper from my wedding cake and the little birdhouse chapel was perfect - Tiff for the bird theme wedding you wanted...

Congratulations Tiffany Tipton and Steven Dubois!  Love you both....
