Dining Table Vignette

My dining table is set up as a vignette and won't actually be used for dining this season.  

We're traveling to see everybody this year

so there won't be any fancy fixin's here!

A while back I saw a picture posted from a 

tour at Mary Carol's (Nell Hill's) 

 (posted by Lynne's Gifts from the Heart)

home and it inspired me

for my table design.

My main draw was how they mixed up

the centerpiece with varying candle

holders and the tall vases with the

evergreens.

This also was a blog posting 

(sorry I can't find the information on it) 

that also got my

head spinning on the idea for my

centerpiece vignette arrangement.

I was drawn to the varying sizes

of candle holders and votives.

While shopping at Kirklands after

Thanksgiving I found the two large

red hurricanes.  Initially I intended

to use them for a candle but that

got changed.

I found the two large mercury glass 

hurricanes (T.J.Maxx) and they were going to 

be the tallest pieces on the table, 

but that changed too!

A few pine boughs laid in between the

deer with scattered ornaments,

pine cones and a faux pair of

deer antlers.

This shows the table before I added one 
more element to it.

 To me it seemed unfinished-

 So I added this felt cut-out garland I found at

a local store.  I felt the vignette needed

a frame so this is what I ended up with.

It has a partridge at each end, stars, and the words

Peace and Hope on it

 Some of these candle holders/votives

are from Pottery Barn both this year 

and last year and some are new from 

T.J. Maxx

I used the ruby red accents to go with

the new Kirkland's pieces

The square glass risers are from

Wisteria- I find them handy for

giving unexpected dimension

and design.

The arrangements consist of green and 

glittery gold pine boughs, feathers, a magnolia

flower and a candle ring that frames

them. I shopped my own home

of goodies for this!

The candle ring at the bottom of the 

flowers rests on the top of the hurricane

and had it's own little ornaments and

greens. It blends right in and is

hard to distinguish.

So that's a wrap on my dining table vignette!
