This tablescape is for a brunch I am hosting. Being that this is one of the coldest days we have had in NJ so far this Winter, I was inspired to create a vibrant tablescape.
I started with a lively patterned April Cornell tablecloth. The color palette is sage green, gold, and pink so I coordinated with green placemats (Ralph Lauren) and gold napkins (Martha Stewart collection) and simple silver napkin rings (Reed & Barton).
With such a bold and colorful tablecloth, I kept the place setting simple layering my wedding china (Lenox, Opal Innocence) with four Limoges dessert plates I bought a few years back at Grand Bazaar Antiques that has soft yellow and green floral accents and some gold detail on the rims. I also chose a set of 4 vintage tea cups and saucers (Remington) that picks up on the pink in the tablecloth. The coffee pot, creamer, and sugar bowl are also Lenox Opal Innocence. The vintage compote has pink florals and is Jean Pouyat Limoges (to find out more about this piece, see prior post).
For the centerpiece, I chose one of my favorite antique crystal vases-I love the beading on it and its unique shape-and filled it with the same palette as the tablecloth: pink gerber daisies and yellow roses. The candles are glittery gold (Oak Forest Design, see Taper Caper!) and I picked up these Tiffany’s crystal candlesticks at Summit Antiques.
Hope this table brightens your day!
Such a beautiful table!!! I love all of the color and your china is all coordinates wonderfully, as does all of your linen choices! I’m sure your guests had a wonderufl time!
That is a beautiful table set with loving care. I love how you’ve mixed the boldness of the tablecloth with the delicate dishes. So very pretty.. xo marlis
Oh your golden yellows and bright flowers on that lovely tablecloth….really do make a wonderfully warm presentation. That pretty vase is striking too.
Wow!!! This IS vibrant and will wake a person right up!!! Beautiful choice! I so love that “Opal Innocence” pattern. It is truly one of the hallmarks of the genius of Lenox! The cups and saucers play so nicely with the colors of your florals! Wonderful! I hope you have a fabulous brunch. I am sure your guests will be wowed by your efforts! Take care!
Pretty! I love the tablecloth, it reminds me of those pretty tole painted trays. I love the combination of dishes that you chose. XO Cindy
That’s absolutely superb! Warm and inviting on a truly cold day. Bet your friends were really impressed and made to feel welcome. Love all your pieces.
Everyone needs a little jolt of color to spark up drab winter days…beautiful tablecloth.
That tablecloth is a gorgeous starting point for your pretty floral table! Your guests will think it’s springtime already, with all the lovely flowers on the china!
April Cornell can make a table look so lively and your’s is not exception. You picked out the perfect colors to make it all pop. The compote is wonderful and I love your choice of flowers. Dianne
Great foundation with the April Cornell tablecloth, then building up with sage green placemats and gold napkins, adding pink touches with china. Well-thought out and executed. The beading on your antique vase is stirring envy in me right now. Thanks for sharing your vibrant table. Have a great weekend. ~CJ
Laura,
This definitely warms me up! I just adore the pops of pink in the tablecloth, cups and florals! I’m sure your friends felt quite pampered at your luncheon…I know I did! Mixing and blending done to perfection!
Fondly,

I absolutely love your tablescape. You did a great job with coordinating everything and the flower tablecloth is amazing. If you ever need some new items for parties or your tables in the future you should check out our Social couture website.
Beautiful table, great colorful cloth! I am sure your guests felt very pampered.
As your neighbor in NY I am very happy we have made it through winter thus far with milder weather. Last year was the pits! 🙂
