Vintage Blue and White for Brunch
On the table, vintage blue and white for brunch. Collected blue and white vintage china with lavender topiaries for a pretty brunch with some favorite ladies.
Sometimes setting the table for a get-together is a little like staging for a play. I often spend countless hours imagining and designing the table to create a little bit of drama. Yes, the food maybe first, then the flowers, and the final is the arranging of all the details of each place setting.
Flickering Candlelight
Next up might be the dash of ambiance with the flickering candles to add in that sprinkle of magic and pretty. The candlelight ambiance is often the most important aspect of a dinner setting. It tends to create laughter and conversations that will linger and be most memorable.
Pretty Pop of Blue
My table is set with my vintage blue and white china, for brunch, in the Blue Willow pattern. A collection of pieces that I started over 31 years ago. Maybe a bit of a hodgepodge collection, but a collection of Blue Willow all the same. You would never know that these pieces were collected. Not a purchased set. All in all, gifted and thrifted from years gone by.
A pretty table setting of vintage blue and white for brunch with green goblets on a table. A pretty layout of fine dinnerware to accompany the meal speaks volumes to your guests. It tells them that you have spent some time on their arrival and how important it is to host their gathering.
Your guests just might ask, “What’s the celebration?”
Even the most ordinary of days is a perfect day to celebrate laughter and friendship.
Center Stage
Keeping it simple with a layering of flickering candles and some dried artichokes… just to keep it green.
The sweetest inspiration comes from the smallest of details and everyday things that are always there… A whimsical collection of blue and white china layered with crisply folded blue napkins, some thrifted green goblets, dried artichokes, flickering candles, and a vintage crocheted runner.
Flowers
Fleurs – Lavender topiaries
One of the most essential table details, flowers. They set the stage. Their color palette and style dictate what jewelry (dinnerware) will be added. The lavender topiaries, because of their height are set at the end of the table as to not block faces and conversations. So often, we save out pretty table settings for special events, but it doesn’t have to be a special occasion to bring out collected vintage china. Light a few candles and add some cheer. Celebrate the simple pleasures of life, of friendship, and laughter.
Just some inky blue at its best! I just can’t resist some blue and white, Blue Willow ware!
A forever love…
I hope that today’s post inspires you to indulge and set the table with some pretty dishes. Maybe a grandmother’s dishes. Light the candles and enjoy your treasures!
Happy Friday!
