This was definitely not the week for an outdoor table, so I put this tablescape together in the comfort of my air-conditioned home! But, I did use my outdoor dishes. The set my sister gave me as a wedding gift last year. I used them in my very first EVER tablescape! You can see them here. The only thing I would add (if I could) would be Robin and her husband, in person, sitting at this table!
I hope you enjoy!
Okay, real or fake in my centerpiece? Answer at the end.
The go-with-everything glasses from Dollar Tree.
Now, time for some added ambience!
Answer: Both! The greenery is from my yard
and the blossoms and berries are faux!
Floral plates and flatware are from my sister, Robin
Glass vase, votives, and napkins from Ross
Napkin rings from a thrift store
Glassware from Dollar Tree
Chargers from Z Galleries
Bowls from Big Lots

I love those floral plates.
Gorgeous table!!
This is such a cheery yet so sophisticated table! Your plates are fun and set a real happy mood!
I LOVE your centerpiece!!!! Real, fake or both!
What an inspiring stop!
VERY well done! In these hard economic times, I have taken to mixing the two whenever my wallet is a little light. As long as they're good quality fauxs like the ones you have here, I say, "Go for it!" This is beautifully done, Elaine. I just know Robin is tickled pink that you used these for this great tablescape! It just makes my heart go pitter-patter how close you guys are!
Your photography is stunning! Your tablescape is gorgeous, love the pretty dishes and great chargers to go with it perfectly! Your centerpiece is lovely. Lovely. Just dropped by from Let's Dish.

Well this one is definitely a winner be it inside or out. Love the look of the plates set on point with the woven chargers. Touch of red with the napkin rings and the bouquet of flowers are the perfect compliments.
Beautiful! I love those plates!
Looks like a photo for a fancy restaurant! Love the plates. What a wonderful gift :-) And, I did take a guess and went with both! Thanks so much for sharing at the party this week! It's just lovely!
Beautiful table Elaine, I always look forward to see what you are creating for us. Good colors in the plates and the candles look beautiful shining through the green glasses. I don't have much luck at the thrift shop and you found the red napkin rings. Perfect addition to the table. The centerpiece is just striking and I did guess the greenery was real. Thanks.
Love those plates. They are absolutely stunning. You have a great flair for setting an amazing table. The centerpiece is perfect, picking up the red and green from the dishes. xo marlis

This is just beautiful! Sophisticated with just the right touch of youthful whimsy....I love it! I can't believe that it's been a year...you're a veteran now! Thanks for inviting us for a peak. Cherry Kay
Your table is so beautiful, Elaine. Your photos are very striking. Your plates against the wall color are just so perfect....Christine
Your table is very lovely. Those plates are very pretty. The colors just pop.
Pretty, pretty table. It is just so cheery! Your photography skills are awesome. Thanks for sharing.
The centerpiece is lovely - hard to believe it is not all real! Love your dishes - wish I were there, too!!
Beautiful. Your photos are worthy of a magazine spread.
That was a great idea to combine the real and faux for your centerpiece!!!! I love it! I also love those dishes, what a beautiful pattern. Thanks for sharing all this beauty. XO, Pinky
I want your dishes! What an absolutely delightful table you have created with your red and white....love it.
The ambience is wonderful! The dishes and bouquet are beautiful!
I love the dishes, Elaine! What a pretty centerpiece. I love how you mixed faux and real together. Great stemware from the DT, too.
Such a pretty table! I love the plates. The red flowers are fantastic.
This is just beautiful! I love red. It looks so fresh with white and the touches of green in the glasses. Very nice! I love how you did the napkins. Super cute. There is nothing like candle light! Beautiful!
Lucky you to be the recipient of such lovely dishes! Your execution is wonderful. It all looks so inviting.

Very pretty, Elaine. Love the colors, and the way you did the napkins is so pretty! Great mix on the centerpiece!
Thanks for sharing at Let's Dish!
I really like what you did with the stacking the plates and the chargers really set them off. They had them again at Bed, Bath and Beyond this summer so if you need more. There may have been other pieces too. I wish we could be in Colorado too but not while you're having your bathroom remodeled! Ha!
