The Green Appletini Tablescape

Yes, my new found love of this trendy neon-green concoction
and this wonderfully wacky fabric inspired today's table.

I saw this fabric in the mark-down aisle. When I turned the bolt over to see the price, I made an audible gasp when it said $1.00/yard! I knew then that it was coming home with me. I like unique table covers and this certainly fits the bill!

I used the over sized martini as the centerpiece. The glass beads make it look like it's served on the rocks. Which would not be the case for me, but it does add sparkle.


I used a lot of silver and glass elements which made the table really sparkle.



I put a glass star plate on top of the dinner plate and then another glass bowl to hold the silver rose candle. Each setting had a nice glow.
The napkin is a very light blue/green color.

I scattered all the little mirrors and ice cubes around the table. They really reflect the candles.

I think this would be a good New Year's Eve table.




Don't forget to go back to Susan's blog to find all the other Tuesday tablescape posts. Have fun!

Love your green table and your blog. Where do you manage to keep all the various china etc? I have like 5 sets and only use 1 maybe 2, but we have a big family so I have to have lots of dishes in each. Congrats on blogs of note!

Neat blog! The centerpiece on this one looks very fun. It reminds me of the setting that one of my friends did for her bachelorette party in the color scheme and the overall feel of the table setting.

I just found this through Blogs of Note. I think what you can do with a table is fantastic. I myself always think it is important to "wow" my guests with decoration and attention to detail. Again, they look wonderful!

You have a true gift! I found you through Blogs of Note.

It never would have occurred to me to use a piece of material as inspiration for a table setting. You've given me a new way to approach setting a table. I do love a beautiful table!
