French Inspired "Winter Formal" dining

Winter formal dining table...ooo! la! la!

{{a little french twist!}}

I chose this look based on one of the girls' mom's vintage china settings.

I loved mixing the old pattern w/some zebra... the font on the placecard settings {on the personal-sized Martinelli bottles} added some "fun flavor" to the party! Did you notice her gorgeous pink goblets? I might have been coveting them...shhhh!

Not a shortage of beautiful bling,

mixed w/a palet of pink colored peonies...

the linens were a white underlay

w/an effervesent, shimmering grey top

loaded w/pretty little ribbon flowers.

The grey was stunning against her plates.

I love this font!

I chose the best adjectives to

describe the girls at their place settings.

The boys just got their names in a smashing distressed scripty font... ;)

{they should know they are w/some amazing girlies...

and if they forget how to tell them or need a reminding...

it's right there subtley in front of them!}

I dropped some of the black lace

along the back of the chairs.

I think the black color & the lace pattern

lended itself perfectly to the entire thing!

The centerpiece for all 8 couples was a tall vase of florals...

I hope they had the funnest time!
