Aqua & Orange Tablescape

The tablerunner I made a few weeks ago was the beginning for today's table.

I had these dishes in mind when I made the runner.
A trip to the glass cabinet revealed some Atlas Capri dot aqua glasses that were a good match.

Unfortunately they are not stemmed, but the color is right one so I used them. I really need to find some aqua-stemmed glasses.

I was not in the mood to make a flower bouquet today, so I just grabbed the big hurricane candle from the top of the curio cabinet. I was hoping I had some orange napkins and sure enough I found some. They went inside the glass to add height. The candle needed a little spiffing up so I added some marbles.
I used napkin holders to hold a computer-printed menu. It added another layer to the place setting without obscuring the flower shape of the plate.

I like the peach tablecloth with this runner. I added a small aqua candle holder on each side of the big one and the the table was ready for dinner.


Thanks for stopping by.



Enjoy all of the other tables today.

I can't sew a stitch so I think you are so talented to make a table runner based upon your dishes. It looks awesome. Thanks for sharing.

Beautifully done. I think you have a great excuse to flea shop for those perfect stemmed glasses, but your blue ones certainly looked perfect with your tablescape :)
