the weekend table setting

This past weekend was too much fun. Six of my all-through college to today girlfriends ventured from Auburn to the icey skating rink that was my driveway to have a "girls retreat." The weekend would consist of a big dinner and brunch at my house and a trip to the Fox to see Beauty and the Beast, so I decided to do something special for the girls. I pulled out all the stops for the place settings: we're talkin' gold chargers, miniature roses, Mom's good china, a designed themed menu (turned bookmark), wine cork napkin strings, name cards, and wine glasses. Check out how it all came together...



my easy [yet chic] weekend table setting:

tablecloth turned table runner

miniature roses in mason jars

name cards and menus on cardstock

old wine corks with ribbon attatched

gold chargers from hobby lobby

glassware - wine glasses and bowls

mom's china

I love, love, love how it [and the breakfast cassarole] turned out!
