I'll Have A Blue Christmas......

For today's Tablescape Thursday I decided to go blue. That really isn't too difficult for me since blue is indeed my favorite color. For this table I did mostly white accented with silvers and then threw in some blues and aqua blues. Today you are going to get two different looks. How so? I am going to show you, how, by changing just two elements on a table you can get a completely different look and feel.......


I started with a white table cloth and then layered some silver ribbon across the table connecting each place setting. On top of that I placed a silver charger. Out came my formal china for this event. White bone china with a lovely platinum band. Simple elegance that I never tire of. For a bit of fun and color I placed a bit of bling, in the form of ornaments, that are beaded and sequined in aquas and blues on each plate. I used a bright blue napkin at each setting as well.





I scattered ornaments here and there in silvers and whites for texture and interest and more sparkle.

Once the candles were lit the table just took on a glow all its own!

The ornaments caught the light and just shined.

My formal crystal glasses were the perfect choice with their platinum bands.

Shine and sparkle and just enough color!

I have had this terrarium for what seems forever but there is always something wonderful that can be done with it. Here I filled it with ornaments and some decorative picks and a candle. I loved the way it glowed.

The cut out scroll work on the lid is my favorite part of this piece!

Even my silver sugar basket got into the spirit with some ornaments and greenery. My knife rest and cake knife seemed to want in on the party as well.

Some silver iced topiary Christmas trees were the perfect choice to accompany the centerpiece.

A winter wonderland!

Remember how I said by just changing one or two elements on a table you can give it an entirely different look. That is just what I did here. By replacing the center piece with a silver bowl laden with blue and white transferware balls and silver and white ornaments as well as some decorative blue ornament picks I have started a whole new look!

It completely changes the presence of this setting.

But I didn't stop there I replaced the dinner plates with my Spode blue and white transferware plates and placed blue bulbs and greenery on the salad plates as a topper.

All the other elements remained the same........

Oh, except I couldn't stop myself from placing blue bunny out on adventure to keep that blue and white transferware theme going!

One of my favorite things about my Spode blue room is every plate has a different scene or pattern.

As you can see by the plate borders they are all different.
