centered

while looking for table inspiration, i came across somewhat of a trend in centerpieces that i absolutely love! stacked cake tiers & trays. not only does it look extra classy, but it also ads some depth to the table. i love having an interesting focal point, and this look definitely allows for that. seeing as i was so excited i had to share. whether it be for buffet or table, i hope this brings out some ideas and gets the holiday on for ya.

okay... so this last one isn't really tiered like the rest, but it was too precious not to include. i'm thinking christmas tea party?

ready, set, tables!

there are few things i love more than a perfectly set table. i'll blame [or thank] my fabulous mother & grandmother for this. the linens, the china, the glasses, the flatware and most importantly the centerpieces. the beauty & class that radiates from a finely set table is often unmatchable. man... did i mention that i LOVE a lovely table setting.

and... being that it's the holiday season there are so many wonderful things to draw inspiration from. i'll be searching for some looks i love to draw from for our table. i've started on the setting, but it's nowhere near finished. i did find this great photo on the good housekeeping website. it's just darling.
