I was given very short notice of a mini business dinner meeting my husband sprung on me today. I needed to do a quick clean up around the house, but before that I wanted to get the table ready so I could focus on what I needed to do.
I just finished a craft project which is the burlap wrapped vase shown in the center here. I rambled through some of my candlesticks and decided on these.
I used my new mirrored tray to add a little glam and reflection. I chose a mix of mercury glass and the rustic finish on the candle holders to go with the burlap wrapped vase that I topped with a boxwood ball.
Not too much fuss here, but the Fleur-de-lis Coffee mugs worked beautifully with these scroll designed dishes. The olive green napkins pulled on the centerpiece colors and the hint of green that's in the dish pattern. I kept the neutral tones going with the off white flatware.
These people love their coffee so I will be serving plenty of that and if they want some wine the stemware will come into play or I will simply use them for water!
After Some quick menu planning, I've decided on a Chopped Salad,
Baked Zitti and Ciabtta Bread.
I do believe I'm ready.... now off to finish my prepping!
