My Fall Table and a Giveaway!

October 1, 2013  Fall | Tablescapes | Uncategorized

 

How to Set an Eclectic #Tablescape - great tips and tricks to make your table unique!  kellyelko.com

I didn’t put fine china on my bridal registry.

I’m not a formal china kind of gal.

I mean, I love checking out the lavish table settings on Downton Abbey but prefer a simpler look …

oh and I’m still shocked over poor Matthew’s untimely demise in that car accident.

Eclectic Table Decorating - forget matchy matchy!  kellyelko.com

That’s why I love white plates.  They really make the food the star and they are perfect for mixing in fun finds like my vintage silverware, mid century glasses and vibrant mismatched napkins.

Thanksgiving, Christmas, family dinners, potlucks … they can be used for any occasion and are always in style.

Colorful Tablescape for Fall - love the eclectic look kellyelko.com

So when I spotted these Pfaltzgraff dishes, I knew they had my name written all over them.

Bonus – they come in both Pfaltzgraff Filigree Round which can be found at Kohl’s and Pfaltzgraff Filigree square that’s available online – perfect for my mixing and matching ways.

Half the table gets round dinner plates under square salad plates with the cute bowl off to the side …

the other half gets the reverse with square dinner plates on the bottom.

Everything sits atop vintage clipboards.

Mix and match that old vintage silver for an even more eclectic look …

don’t have vintage – just use a few different sets of new.

Remember when I showed you how to dry hydrangeas …

my dining room table was covered in pitchers of water brimming with flowers.

Now they make the perfect centerpiece.

    I could go either way — but I’m pretty sure my family would prefer the round dishes. Both are simple and beautiful! (When I got married, I registered for the “Grapevine” pattern which is basically Filigree with grapes.)

    I LOVE the round white dishes! I registered for plain white round dishes for our wedding (6 years ago already!) and got them as a gift. We don’t use them as everyday dishes, we use them for dinner parties and as backup to our everyday Pfaltzgraff dishes. Our white set is Pier 1 (which is awesome because if any of them break it’s easy & cheap to go buy more) and our everyday Pfaltzgraff dishes in RIO style that my husband got years before we even started dating. Anyways….I love the round white ones because they go well with the white dishes we already have. And we could use more! We hosted a dinner party this past Saturday (Julia Child theme!) and I had to borrow dishes from my mom 🙂

My Mom buys us a piece every year for Christmas. Each of us girls has a different pattern. Honestly I thought having a “formal” set of dishes was a waist. But ours our very casual and…I love to see what she’s going to give us. Could be anything from gravy boats to glasses! Thank you for such a fun giveaway!

    I have correlle white dishes. And I prefer plain, white dishes, for the same reason you said, to let the food get the attention. But I also have simple tastes. I think I prefer the round dishes. But I don’t have any square ones, and that might be an interesting change. I do like what you did, using both together. 🙂

These are especially beautiful, and I love how you have mixed the square with the round! (If I could only have one, I’d have to choose the square.) And clipboards as chargers! Who knew! My daughter is a teacher… I’ll be “borrowing” that idea, if you don’t mind! Beautiful table!

Doesn’t everything look better with hydrangeas? The place settings was so cute the clip board was a cute touch but how neat of to use paint chip card(not sure what they are called) under your silverware.
