Snowflakes & Ice

As someone who enjoys winter, it is fun to explore the various tablescape options this season offers.





Here is the inspiration for this icy looking tablescape I recently created....
Glass Blocks 
(which you can buy at most hardware stores) 

By stacking two and adding some snowflake decorations to both sides with faux ice chunks on top,  I acheived the icy/snowy look I was after.

 

 These were placed on an ordinary dressing mirror used as a "runner" down the middle of the table.

Next, I added two other glass blocks on each side of the centerpiece and topped those with snowflake decorations and my icy glass trees.

Beside each of these glass blocks, I placed an acrylic reindeer (recently received for Christmas!)

Although I love the look of white on white for winter tablescapes, for this one, I went with a frosty teal tablecloth as a background and added a few other teal coloured  bowls, ornaments and ribbons.

Here's another gift I received for Christmas from Mr. Delight - snowflake napkin rings. I love the sparkly icy look of them!

For placecard holders, I filled these beautiful teal dessert bowls (bday gift from my daughter) with faux snow and a snowflake.

White placemat, silver charger, white dinner plate, and glass salad plate topped by the teal placecard holders complete the dishware ensemble for each place setting.

 

Stemware includes a clear white wine and a red wine glass.

And here's how it all looks together

The weather outside matched the icy depiction on the table.

Of course, our Christmas decorations are still up! Yep! Enjoying them to the fullest!

While the icy look is great in daylight, I think it gets even better after dark!

I added a string of battery-operated white LED lights along the centerpiece which created a lovely glow.

The lights added to the icy look down the center of the table and created a contrast between it and the place settings.

 

An "Icy Christmas" look with a frosty table and snowflakes hung from the chandelier.

Thanks for stopping by.  Hope you aren't chilled to the bone from viewing this icy tablescape! Maybe clicking over to these other fabulous blog parties this week will warm you up!
