When packing up my Christmas decorations last weekend, I took some burgundy roses off the tree and thought how nice they would look for a Valentine table centerpiece.
I found a basket and put my trio of candle hurricanes with inserts inside with the roses.
Black candlesticks with burgundy ball candles alongside crystal taper candle holders add some height to the tablescape.
I bought 4 of these white heart-shaped plates at a local gift store last year. I placed them on top of my white/gold plates and gold chargers.
A few Lindt chocolates and heart candies make it interesting!
A burgundy tablecloth, burgundy/gold runner and gold placemats were used along with burgundy napkins. The more layering the better!
Stemware includes my amber wine glasses, some octagonal-sided glasses for water and
burgundy-rimmed liqueur glasses that were given to me from my great aunt's estate.
With the table set, I'm inspired to host a Valentine Luncheon. Hmmm, when to have it, what to serve and who to invite? Wish YOU could join me!
I'll be linking up to Tablescape Thursdays at Between Naps on the Porch and Seasonal Sundays at The Tablescaper. Be sure to visit these great blogs for some terrific eye candy!
DD,
ReplyDeleteI don't know what I'd serve, but I know I'd love to be invited to the luncheon.
That runner is wonderful, as are the special wine glasses from your great aunt's estate.
I like the scattered candies at each setting. That's a very nice touch.
I don't think you mentioned the glass candlesticks that hold the red tapers. I like their "feet".
I love that you repurposed the roses from the Christmas tree. Your table is lovely!
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely! Love the richness of the gold and burgundy. The roses add so much!
ReplyDeleteI think I have the same heart plates. I got them in HG 2 yrs ago.
Beautiful table!
I love how you can take one item..put it in different surroundings...and..you've created a new look. Your very talented and I'm enjoying, following your blog.

Those burgundy roses look great! Isn't it amazing how items from one holiday can find themselves at the center of another? Lovely table.
ReplyDeleteI am just now getting around to visit all of the Seasonal Sunday tablescapes. For some reason, the linky went down, and I couldn't get it to come up for me. Oh, I'm glad I went back because I love your table! Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteXO,

Thanks for stopping by. The pair of green crystal lamps in the background are a design from The Wicker Works company, and we've had them for 25 years. They are still made; they are called The Baluster lamp. They are a 'to the trade' item, available through interior designers. I have seen a really good 'knock-off' of this lamp in a good lighting store...it was clear instead of the green, and it's a lot less expensive....just in case you're interested. Cherry Kay
