We have an occasion to CELEBRATE! Our daughter and her boyfriend recently became engaged and we are thrilled!
Naturally, when they asked me to help them come up with wedding colours, I jumped at the chance! My daughter says she loves green but has a hard time visualizing how tables would look in a certain colour scheme. (I know...is she really MY daughter?) Thus, I came up with the idea to set up three small tables in our living room so she could see some examples.
As you see above, I went with different combo's of apple-green mixed with black and white and a dash of silver. For this post, I'll focus on showing you the middle table with the black tablecloth.
It was fun to round up various items I already had that might reflect a bit of a wedding theme and try them out.
The lowly green apple is given a much more sophisticated look when placed in glass on faux ice.
Acrylic napkin rings added to crystal candle holders give a bit of bling to the table.
A centerpiece of "fire and ice"placed on a mirror adds some sparkle.
This "joined" stemware was an anniversary present from Mr. Delight years ago. I thought it was perfect for this sample wedding reception table.
Apple-green coloured pillars are placed on these elegant crystal candle holders. ( birthday gift from my daughter)
I used my white with black print dishes, apple-green napkins and black chargers.
Faux flowers and grasses in the coordinating colours look sharp against the black vase.
Can you imagine a wedding reception with a colour-combo like this?
My daughter says the "visual" has helped immensely.
In my next post, I'll show you a closer look at the far table with the green tablecloth.
Hmmm, since I have a romantic table like this already set up, Mr. Delight and I should try it out!
Wonder what I can get him to cook for me?

Beautiful color scheme! Green and white flowers will be beautiful for a wedding. Where did you purchase the faux ice? I've never seen it. I'm interested because I help decorate for a golf benefit party each year.
ReplyDeleteLove this idea to set up tables to help her visualize~ this one with the black cloth is gorgeous! So sophisticated! I am looking forward to the details of the other two tables. Love that bright green!
ReplyDeleteOH my, all three are stunning and the one you highlighted is fabulous. What a grogeous color scheme and the entire tablesetting is beautiful. I am sure she loved seeing all the choices. Beautiful. Thanks so much for joining TTT. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteOH I love the color scheme -- especially the green with the black -- so striking!! Congratulations on the engagement and have fun decorating!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Love the color combination :o)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful table! I love the color combination of green, black and white.I like the addition of the "ice" to the candle holders.

Congratulations to your daughter, the bride-to-be, and her fiance'. I think setting up these tables is a brilliant idea! How blessed your daughter must be to have a Mom with such talent to help her plan her wedding! LOVE the colors!

This green-black-white combination is so gorgeous! It looks stunning here! Thanks a bunch for sharing:)
ReplyDeleteHope to see you on my blog:)
Our daughter just got married this past Sept. Her colors were green and brown and it was gorgeous! The bridesmaids wore chocolate brown dresses and looked beautiful! The tables had a beautiful brown with green swirls overlay and the placecard table had (faux) green apples under glass with the crads on it. If you need any ideas I am so willing to share!!!! I LOVE your table and what you did! It is a wonderful idea to do this to help her visualize each combination! XO, Pinky
ReplyDeleteThanks for the compliment on the colors. I had just noticed your link below mine and saw your gorgeous green too. It is striking and very showy on the black tablecloth. Your entire blog is fabulous. I just started mine this week. Thanks again.
ReplyDeleteWow, your daughter is soo lucky! I hope to be as good as you by the time my daughter gets married, (she is only 8) so I will be practicing every week with Susan too!
ReplyDeleteStunning color scheme, I am loving that apple green for a wedding and your idea tables are gorgeous.

What a great idea to set up 3 tables for her to visualize how using green would look. I can't wait to see the other two set ups and hear which one she likes best. Congratulations on the up coming nuptials... I'm your newest follower!
ReplyDeleteYou really rocked this table! You're so funny though..."Is she really MY daughter?" Hilarious! You have GOT to know just how pretty this is!!! Congratulations to both families on the engagement. As a retired wedding planner, I still have a great appreciation for all the hard work and decision-making that goes into this onece-in-a-lifetime family affair! Have fun with it!
ReplyDeleteI love all of them. I like the one with black the most because it looks very sophisticated. Which one did she choose? Congrats to your couple on their engagement!...Christine
ReplyDeleteAll 3 are wonderful! How do you choose? Would love to find one of the stemware holders like yours to give my daughter as a wedding gift. Any ideas where I should look?
ReplyDeleteThey are all beautiful! Great way to help your daughter visualize it.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy all the planning for your daughter's wedding.
Carolyn

Absolutely gorgeous! That's all I can say!
ReplyDeleteNote to "Monica" above (no blog/email for you) - You mentioned you wanted to get the "Joined" stemware. Although hubby got mine at a local gift store, here is a website called WeddingStar where I believe you can order it along with other items.

Wow! That is gorgeous, green is one of my favorite colors and it looks fabulous with the black! What a clever way to help your daughter get a "visual"! Congats to her! If this is any indication, she will have a lovely wedding! Can't wait to see a close up of the other two and find out what she goes with! Thanks for visiting!

I love the colors! This was a wonderful idea. You can now visualize the reception. How smart this was. Wonderful post! Thanks for coming by. I went to follow you and I already did. But, I haven't been by in awhile. I started to crawl around blogland this spring when I got sick, but I am getting around more now!:)
ReplyDeleteSherry
Oh, we must be kindred spirits. I'm just loving your black and green also. What an amazing color combination it makes. Your daughter is very lucky to have you help her out with all of her wedding plans. All of your table samples look simply beautiful.

ReplyDeleteBest wishes to your daughter and her fiance' as you all begin wedding plans. Your idea to set up "inspiration" vignettes was inspired, and I'm sure it definitely helped your daughter to visualize possibilities. I know you will be a huge help to her as she prepares for her special day! Enjoy the process!
