Academy Awards Tablescape

The 91st Academy Awards ceremony will be held tonight. I mostly enjoy watching the red carpet arrivals and seeing all the beautiful gowns and jewelry. I look forward to enjoying the table while having a nice dinner and a glass of my favorite bubbly.

Tuxedo napkin fold.

Overhead view of the table.

The plate stack starts with a gold tablecloth. I used a black sheer piece of fabric with sequin stars over the tablecloth. The mirrored chargers are from Tuesday Morning. I used a red and white stripe dinner plate from HomeGoods then topped it with a gold star salad plate I've had for several years. I placed the tuxedo napkin with bowtie on top of the salad plate.

The ruby red illuminated mercury glass pedestals, candle rings and clear crystal hurricanes are from the Valerie Parr Hill collection.

Ice Skating Party

I'm trying to bring a little Winter feel to South Florida with the Ice Skating table. As I post this blog the AC is pumping wide open on a sunny warm day. The ice skates vase in the center of the table is from the Lisa Robertson Collection. Some of you may remember Lisa as a host on QVC shopping channel for over 20 years. A few years ago she left QVC and started her own company that offers clothing, makeup, unique Italian jewelry and home decor items. She travels the world buying unique items that you really do not find in most stores. Every Sunday night at 7PM Eastern time she does a Facebook live hour presentation of items that will be available for purchase the following week. The items go live on the website at noon each day and they sell out very quickly.

Ice Skating Party

I placed the ice skates vase on top of a round mirror pedestal then wrapped a white boa around the the base. I put a micro strand of lights under the boa. I also sprinkled a little faux snow on the mirror and inserted a few snowflake stems from the Valerie Parr Hill collection.

The napkin rings are from Pier One a couple years ago.

The snowflake napkins are by Ralph Lauren and found recently at HomeGoods.

I found these pretty icy blue goblets at Goodwill a couple weeks ago.

The plate stack starts with mirrored chargers found at Tuesday Morning. The dinner plate is from HomeGoods. The snowflake salad is a thrift store find several years ago.

The table cloth is made from fabric found at Hobby Lobby.

Everything used on the server with the exception of the two small illuminated snowmen is from Valerie Parr Hill.

I picked up the icy blue illuminated faceted glass hurricanes a couple weeks during one of her QVC shows. I also have them in clear and pink. The blue is currently sold out, but I have a feeling she will bring them back to the Q before Easter.
