We have a small get together for Memorial Day this year. I though I'd go with a lot of red this year. I love starting with the flowers. I was going to put a small arrangement at each place setting but decided at the end to do one arrangement for the table and finish it with a woven ribbon.
The only thing in this arrangement that came from my garden was the ivy.
A little closer.....
And very close....
I love this planter. You can click here to see it at
Charleston Gardens
I love this garden center.
These chargers are one of my favorites. I got 4 for a gift and I went and got another 8. I sure do use them frequently !
Lots of red and white !
I found the red wine glasses at HomeGoods. They only had 4. They are happy living at my house !
I love the stars on them.
Shrimp Cocktail is going in here. I've had these champagne glasses for 10 years. I like to use them for dessert too.
Inside....
The butterfly water glass is from HomeGoods too. Really I can't stay away from that store however I always feel like the prices there are the bargain of a century ! I have to give credit to my sister in law for finding them first ♥
I love to mix and match.
The ramekins are from Le Creuset Stoneware and can be found here.
I love that they have a cover !
These Salt and Peppers are from another set that I have. I'll talk about them some other day.
The red flatware has a coke bottle like handle.
And.... The pretty little red checkered dana slip covers are straight from pier 1. I keep these chairs in the attic most of the time. I got them a year ago because we have so many people at Thanksgiving every year. When I need some extra chairs it's nice to be able to change the cover for the colors you are using. I don't think these will go back up stairs for awhile!
What do you think, a good match ?
The Buffet is all set and ready to go.
There will be several desserts.
Pretty Dessert Dishes ! I love anything strawberry on these.
I hope you enjoyed your visit and....
Have a very safe and happy holiday.
