SYTYCD WEEK 9: Tablescape {last week of the contest}

Decorating for guests is always fun! I’m sure you won’t be surprised to see the use of bright colors incorporated in my tablescape this week. I LOVE COLOR! The only thing that I had to buy for this tablescape was multi-colored tissue paper! Tissue paper is a wonderfully cheap way to make a fun design.



I started the design with an array of plates. My dinner plates are red, blue, green, yellow, and purple. It is pretty fun because the dinnerware fits right into the multi-colored dining room!

I made some tissue paper balls for the center piece, and I sat them on various glass vases that I already had. The vases were all shapes and sizes. It worked perfectly to create some height and differing levels. I tied the napkins with a bit of tulle that I had lying around in my fabric bin.

I then hung several other tissue paper balls with fishing line at various heights behind the table to create a fun atmosphere and accentuate the table decor. You’ll notice the place mats are colorful but subtle, but this was done purposely to blend in with the table top. I also omitted a tablecloth because sometimes a tablecloth takes away from the decor in the tablescape. I think this is an instance where one of those “non tablecloth” designs is necessary. I also accessorized with colorful M & Ms at every place setting. This tablescape is perfect for a group of my favorite gals to get together for a spring lunch. We can eat something delicious, chat, laugh, and snack on CHOCOLATE at the same time!

  1. this looks great! i used this idea a few weeks ago for the craft at the teen mom mentoring group i lead. the girls loved it, and took their flowers with them. i also have a pile of tissue waiting to make flowers for my summer decor. what a great tablescape! i'm going to vote for you now.

  2. Thanks for reminding me of how fun those things are! I have a baby shower coming up that I am throwing a friend and maybe I'll make those to decorate for it! It's a cheap way to decorate, but yet it looks so cute! Great job!
