Hot Pink & Paisley Dinner Party

I'm back with the first celebration of the new year.  This hot pink and paisley party was an intimate dinner in celebration of a 70th birthday.  Giving limited time to plan (one week..yikes) we had to pull it together with materials that were readily accessible.  With the holidays just coming to an end, I found this really pretty paisley wrapping paper as my inspiration and used it throughout the party.  Paisley prints are very classic, elegant and punched up with hot pink details .....ta-da.. it worked perfectly for this 70th dinner party celebration!

Wrapping paper turned paper fan decor

 Simple tablescape included lots of hot pink details and candles

I love the incredible ambiance candlelight gives to a space

Paisley paper was also used for the centerpieces

The cake also reflected our paisley theme

Sweet treats are a must 

Everyone went home with a cupcake!

You can also adapt this hot pink and paisley party into a sophisticated Valentines Day party!

Simple Spring Tablescape

Happy Friday!

What are you planning for Mother's Day this weekend? Are you putting together a special breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner for Moms on Sunday?  I have a super simple, vibrant, tablescape I created in the spirit of celebrating Spring for my studio space.  It's the perfect inspiration for designing your Mother's Day tablescape! Choosing a festive fabric was my starting point, and used it throughout my design. 

This fabric definitely has a lot going on, but isn't it pretty? I paired it with a yellow gingham tablecloth..
so Spring!

Fabric wrapped around the centerpiece, gorgeous pink roses!

Adding interest, I paired a round dinner plate, with a square salad plate, and a fun fabric napkin set atop a rattan charger for texture.

In keeping with the spring feel, fresh herbs dill and rosemary were used as a parting favor.

This is perfect to double as a placecard, simply tie the name of your guest to the plant or set a tent card right in front.

As a prelude to the highly anticipated desert table, I added tiny cupcakes inside tealight holders for a taste of whats to come!

Cheers!

Happy Mother's Day to all! Enjoy your weekend!!
