Lavender, Lilac, Some Platinum Oh My!

Brr! i'ts cold outside, while the store shelves are stocked with spring wares I turned to them for some shabbos table inspiration this week secretly, hoping, and wishing for spring. Mixing in traditional accents of silver and crystal and a splash of purple, lavender and lilac I'm sure you will agree its screaming for spring. I started with a simple lilac silk cloth and layered with a deeper lavender lacy overlay. By using traditional white china with a platinum border instantly turns up the chic factor. I always find going back to the basics with white china is your best option, firstly the food pops on the white canvas and its your best investment since its so versatile. Finished with crystal goblets, silver flatware, basic white candles, and simply folded some leftover silk fabric through silver monogrammed napkin rings. For a little glitz and glimmer I lined the center of the table with mirrored tablets.


The best part is the layered fabrics can each be used again in various ways, the silk fabric can be used on its own, and the lace overlay will look beautiful with a chocolate brown lining or even a basic white. Look around your home you will be surprised how much you will find that will add a little bit of glam to your table making a quiet dinner at home into a special event.
