In the meantime, you are invited to a virtual Galentine's Party.
I've set the table with my very best china, crystal, silver, and linens especially for you. We have candlelight and fresh flowers cut from my own garden!
The camellias in this arrangement are Julia France, Blood Red, La Peppermint, Debutante, White by the Gate, Pink Perfection, and one other that I'm not sure of its name.
The red container is hard to see in pictures but it works well at Christmas and Valentine's.
I adore using the Crown Linen Designs napkins and table runner that I won in the Monday Morning Blooms giveaway last November. Thank you again, sweet ladies and Crown Linens for your generous giveaway! View the giveaway post by clicking on the title below.

My wedding silver flatware is called Buttercup. I love that it is written on the back of the spoon!
I did not buy a single item for this tablescape. Usually, I do buy flowers but thankfully this time I did not have to.
All the elements for a tablescape blend together but if you leave one off it does not work. Centerpieces always catch my eye first.
I purchased the round velvet placemats from Crown Linens and have enjoyed them so much.
Bonnie, I ws immediately drawn to your camellia centerpiece! Wow, that is outstanding. I studied each variety when you posted on your FB story and I really would love to grow one in my landscape. I need to study and find the best placement and then choose a variety. Your info helps a lot, you have so many. Your Buttercup flatware, China and silver all look so nice with the CLD textiles. Beautiful table, and beautiful styling. Classic!
ReplyDeleteBonnie, your camellia centerpiece is stunning. It is definitely a showstopper. The CL linens are truly gorgeous with your fine china, silver, and crystal.I can just imagine how your friends would love this table, but the next best thing is to see it virtually. It is timeless elegance!
ReplyDeleteOh Bonnie your camellias are Gorgeous! And set on the silver tray they are even more stunning! What a beautiful Valentine table you've set with all your special pretties and I love the scattered hearts, fat red candles, and pretty linens...I too am tired of covid and also this cold weather!

What a gorgeous table. I can imagine every single friend you have would want to be gathered at the table to laugh, taste, share and simply be together after so long apart. I am in awe of the gorgeous flowers from your garden. I've never seen a camellia in person and I'm guessing they have a fabulous fragrance. They're lovely. I'm inspired. (Oh, that silver patter... fabulous!)
ReplyDeleteGood morning, Bonnie. Your table is simply outstanding. The camellias are breathtaking. I had several when we lived in VA. but it is too cold for them here. I do miss them they were a blessing to see in the winter. Your silver pattern is so pretty and adds so much beauty to your table.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a lovely week ahead.
