Valentine Table
February 12, 2013
Setting the mood for a gathering is just as important as the food itself. We want our guests to feel as if they have "experienced," an event. Whether it is a casual barbecue, swim party or sit down dinner-it should be memorable.
I have been going through some boxes in my attic and have found treasures I had forgotten I had! So many assorted china pieces. So, I am going to use them! My theme for this Valentine party is Vintage- I enjoy experimenting with different pieces.
I want there to be a "glow," for this party-I'm trying tea candles in these vintage goblets.
I always begin working with my theme and decorating several days in advance. That way I am not rushing about the day before trying to throw things together. I usually change my mind on some things and then add more of something else- When we entertain it is for our enjoyment too, so use what you have, mix and match and have fun!
Wondering, how do your prepare and plan for a party?

I am enhancing my theme by adding vintage vases and placing glass domes over them.

So pretty! I have to say that most of our parties are thrown outdoors at the creek and I don't always spend much time thinking about the table settings as the rest of the decorations. I guess I'd better take it up a notch!
ReplyDeleteHi Jemma...Do you know that I find treasures packed away in the attic, too? Love your candles in the glasses! Pretty pretty pretty. Nice post. Susan
