Since they are pink it was a little tricky working them into a fall arrangement.
I still have hydrangeas so I cut a few of them and some stems with leaves for bulk and color.
I cut some leaves of the cordyline spike plants that I have in some containers outside hoping to add a little drama to the arrangement.
I tried to help create more fall tones by using my sunflower vase and my amber stemware.
I did not visualize these little bowls as ever going with my April Cornell placemats. I found the placemats on mark down last spring and the bowls late last winter. I also was pleased because it helped carry the floral theme from the arrangement.
The table cloth is a ivory colored burlap piece I picked up at Pottery Barn. I liked the texture for this setting and the napkins I recently acquired had a nice woven texture to them too!
I decided to keep the napkin fold simple and it repeats the straight lines of the bowl and the placemat. The Mikasa Italian Countryside dishes came in handy again and the new ivory flatware did too!
Since it's a table for two and informal I kept it simple.
My daughter gave me this little Waterford votive
and it makes a nice accent. I strung the
plastic beads around to add a little color and give it a touch of glam!
It has cherries on the bottom, cake mix, chopped pecans
and butter.
and butter.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed the visit.
I'm joining Susan at Tablescape Thursday @ Between Naps on the Porch
for her weekly tabletop party!
So pretty, Liz! I love your flower arrangement and your stemware!

ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty...I love your flowers and the color scheme is beautiful. The square bowls are charming (and also what is in them!!!). Lovely table!!!
ReplyDeletesuch a beautiful floral arrangement~
ReplyDeleteHi Liz, you've set a wonderful table. I adore your centerpiece. How fortunate for you to have fresh flowers, they are gorgeous.. Mary Carol is the infamous Nell Hill, she has 3 stores and has authored many books. If you haven't discovered her, girl you must. She is just the sweetest person you'll ever meet, her books are wonderful inspirations. My fav of all of them is O Christmas Tree, you can find many of them on Amazon for a song and a prayer if you're interested in having them. Love when you come by. hugs ~lynne~
ReplyDeleteYou did a GREAT job with your floral arrangement!!! I tend to keep mine extremely simple because I don't feel very comfortable with arranging (even though I worked parttime as a florist back in the day!). You really made this one stand out beautifully! I want to ditto what Lynne said about Mary Carol Garrity and Nell Hills. Now, I should be totally ashamed of myself because I have never visited the original Nell Hills in Atchison, KS, but I have an excuse. Wait...trying to find that excuse, but it seems to have eluded me! :-) I DO have 4 of her books, though, and visited the Parkville, MO location about 3-1/2 years ago. I am thinking of going up there in October while Ramon is out of town. I've also got to make it to Lynn's store in Richmond. I think it's only about an hour or so from here. Oooh...I can hit some more Cracker Barrels on the way! :-)
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty table you've set. The last blooms of summer are often the dearest.
ReplyDeleteCharming table and I do love your floral display.
ReplyDeleteYou are so fortunate to have gorgeous flowers to
use for a centerpiece. The dishes are so versatile.
You can mix and match perfectly.
Perfect table for two and a fruity dessert.
Xoxo. Linda

You have such an eye for flower arranging! Arrangement looks great! And those bowls look so perfect with your placemats! Daughters are so thoughtful, I'm going to miss mine when she moves out, but I'm excited for her. Luckily she's close by. Once this move is over, my next project is organizing my tablecloths lol Ok, love your tablescape, great colors!! Have a great weekend!!
ReplyDeleteI was going to ask that you save me a piece of that scrumptious cake, but I'm a little late checking this post. :( The table is gorgeous, Liz, and those roses are so beautiful that they don't even look real.
