Awesome Table Settings

Recently (like 2 months ago... but I've been a horrible blogger, so let's pretend it was recently) Recently I attended (and "modeled" ha) in a mother-daughter fashion show at church. It was my first time going to this event, and it was great! I was totally shocked by the coolest tables...

The room is HUGE!! So, they have women volunteer to "host" a table. And her job is to decorate the table - in ANY style she wants! So the ENTIRE banquet room is full of VERY UNIQUE tables!!

The women can bring in anything they want to decorate with and they have full access to the churches dishes, silverware, glasses, mugs, etc. Or they can use their own.

Here are some of my favorite tables (all very repeatable. But I really really liked the idea of DIFFERENT tables at the same party- so fun!)

The Valentine's Table The Vintage Table

My personal Fav

complete with a quilt for a table cloth, old hats, an iron "bodice" in the center, pearls dangling from the bodice, old frames, pretty ivory and light pink flowers... clear plates with a vintage handkerchief under it (a different style for every plate)

and vintage aprons hanging from every chair!!

Does it get any cuter??

makes me want to start collecting random vintage fabrics :)

just what I need... another collection

The "Christian" table

I just said that because I see a cross in the middle The Rose Table

Can you tell I'm making up these names as I go?

This lady said her daughter recently got married and did a "candy bar" at the wedding. Apparently they had LOTS of leftover candy, so she brought it all here! She based 2 table designs on the candy colors (and then added extra bowls of candy all around the room.)

So the center piece is various glass vases full of candy and gold tulle

And she tied gold tulle in bows on the backs of the chairs.

It was very pretty- and made me hungry. a perfect table setting

The "Garden" table

another favorite

I love the shiny green table cloth and shiny silver napkins. I love the potted rose in the middle.

But I mostly love the adorable scrapbooky name plates. Oh and I just happened to find one of a Kelly (no that was not my table)

The Sunflower/Tea Table
I love the BOOKS! who would have thought books could look so cool as a centerpiece!

The Leopard Table

This is where I sat.
The lighting in this picture is terrible. but there was a beautiful tall lamp in the middle, surrounded by leopard print material and flowers and AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS dark chocolate covered graham crackers at every seat. yum!!

The lady who did my table also did this one...

The "pink" table

I love the pink and yellow rock candies in the tea glasses- I think that adds such a great pop to the table! and the pretty green fabric in the middle is luxurious.

So... just wanted to share with you some neat ideas for fun and easy and different table settings. And to release the "pressure" that everything has to always MATCH! (I needed to remind myself of that!)
