Winter's Eve Dinner Party





I thought you might enjoy a tablescape 
perfect for a winter's eve dinner party.














Using glistening old silver, mirrors, crystal, white,
and lots of snowflakes together makes 
a strong winter statement.









It looks amazing at night with dim lights and all the candles lit.
(Of course it doesn't show up nicely in pics that way though!)









I used lots of different snowflake buttons as scatters.










This centerpiece was found at the GW a few years ago.

The entire tablescape inspiration came from this piece.

(Funny how one gal's trash is another's treasure!)

I really it!


















I had some extra of these snowflake soaps
 so used them again to give as favors.
(Works for different groups of guests easily enough!)











I love mismatched silver - everything matches each kind of piece
but none of the others match one another, if that makes sense.

I have 8-piece SETS of each kind.



















This is the view of the table at the halfway landing point
 on one's way up to the loft and  upstairs area.









Anyway it is cold and blustery and has been snowing all day.
Stay warm and snug and cozy, everyone!



As always, thank you for your visit!

  1. Michele, it looks beautiful and all in readiness for a great evening! I like it all and the pops of turquoise-I assume the soap box just adds a sweet touch.

  3. So pretty! I love the title Winter's Eve.... I keep forgetting to use my mirrors- they work so well and in this case they are perfect for the cool reflection they offer. How nice that you have china with a snowflake and am embroidered napkin with one too! Cute centerpiece!

  12. Michele...your table is just perfect for this time of year. It really gives that wintry feeling but with the warmth of the candles, very cozy. I am in love with the plates and napkins and your centerpiece is fantastic. I've never used mirrors and I can tell I've been missing something!! I'm not sure if this was set for guests or not but I think they would be impressed and feel very special :)

    XO,

  19. My kind of table setting for a winter's eve dinner party! Our winter dishes are white and silver too with the smaller pieces having snowflakes on them and I've collected numerous snowflake things to go with them. Too bad we're not closer, we could borrow and lend accessories for our entertaining. There's just something about the sparkle of silver I like, and I've never used mirrors on the table - very clever my friend.
    Hugs,
