A Table Inspired by Painted Poppies (and a Giveaway)

Creating beautiful tables is really one of my favorite things to do and one of the things I miss most about my wedding planning days. I generally try to set a pretty table for holidays and special occasions, but admit that I have been terribly lazy about it as of late.
Recently I received some beautiful dishes and a gorgeous glass platter from Pfaltzgraff's  Painted Poppies collection. I was so inspired to invite a few girlfriends over and have a lunch and coffee on my newly refinished deck!

I LOVE mixing textures and styles to create truly unique tables and that is just what I did here. Because my life is a little more hectic than usual, I shopped my house for the decor and just whipped up a little project or two to make this table come to life.

The Painted Poppies are a rich and vibrant.
The poppies literally "pop" against the earthy beige background.
Because the dishes are so beautiful and make such a statement on their own,
I toned down my tablescape to let the dishes be the star of the show.

First I laid my favorite white tablecloth on the patio table. I pretty much use white tablecloths as my base for every table and then layer it on...but this time, I left the white alone. I added a simple centerpiece comprised of a glass cake stand (a must have), my Painted and Stamped Pots, some succulents, ornamental kale, and moss. To finish it off I tucked in some sprigs of chamomile.

It still needed a little "something" so I added an Everything Wreath with a burlap cover around the base of the cake stand for some texture and interest. So a pretty simple look to accompany the Painted Poppies...and look how these Pfaltzgraff dishes shine!

The dinner plates are so pretty.

Then I stacked the salad plate on top (these are my favorite!)

It is always cool here, so I used the coffee cups as part of the place setting. For a little something different and to make sure everyone saw how pretty the plates are, I rolled white napkins and placed them in the coffee cup...and added the sprig of chamomile again.
I think this is fun and so pretty!

Another beautiful piece form the Painted Poppies collection is the
Painted Poppies Rectangular Glass Platter.

The table is small, so I placed in on the Party (Serving) Cart  
with the soup bowls (which I will be using to serve dessert).

  2. The poppy platter is gorgeous but what I love even more is how simple - a non-crafty person like me can replicate this theme easily.

    I like the rich, shimmering colors of the painted poppies dinnerware. Also, I like the earthy feel of the tablescape,by using succulents as a focal point.

  42. I have been looking at this pattern because I love poppies but it was a little out of my price range. And now you're offering it as a giveaway. Your outside table all set up makes me a little jealous because I wouldn't be able to find my outside table under all of the snow. Hopefully spring is soon.
