After all of the plaids, reindeer, and Yule logs, it’s nice to have a palette cleanser. This tabletop is meant to be just that. A lovely, simple, and elegant way to enter into a new season – and a new decade.
The inspiration for it came from my gorgeous new guest towel napkins by Caspari. You all know I’m a huge fan of theirs, so when they sent me these, I was thrilled to share them with you. You can now order custom napkins right through their website!
In the past, these were available in their catalog and by phone. Now, you can hop online and access all of the personalized goodness quickly and easily.
The guest towel napkins in this post are the Antoineta Script Monogrammed ones found here. I chose the white and gold (shown in the photo on their website) since they could be used for just about every season. They are gorgeous on the table, in one of their guest towel holders in a powder room, or alongside a fresh coffee cake delivered to your neighbors.
I also received a set of personalized cocktail napkins, which I love and put to use immediately. The quality of both the guest towel napkins and the cocktail napkins is fantastic. They are nice and thick and the monogramming comes out beautifully on them. I can’t get enough of them! How fun would they be in a pastel background color with white monogramming for the spring (not to mention for weddings, showers, etc.)? I’m already envisioning my Easter table.
The gold and white on these napkins matched wonderfully with our gold-rimmed china and crystal. Sadly, our gold-rimmed crystal pattern is no longer available. We received some of our new gold-rimmed-less wine glasses over the holidays and thankfully they look just as festive!
I had so much fun with the flowers for this tablescape. I made a few large arrangements, a few smaller ones, and took a few of my antique punch bowl cups and filled them with a rosebud and a spray of Baby’s-breath. These were echoed by little gold and white magnolias (actually ornaments; sold out, sadly) scattered throughout the center of the table.
I’m a fan of ending the meal with tea, so I sprinkled in teacups snagged at a vintage shop in Annapolis with my china ones. White candlesticks illuminated the crystal and gold chargers (picked up at our local Michael’s craft store) boosted the gold used throughout.
The result was a beautiful tabletop that can be used throughout the winter – and into the spring. If you wanted to add a pop of color, pale pink roses and deeper pink roses would be beautiful in the arrangements. You could also substitute the white candlesticks for pink ones. Substitute the pink accents for blue or green and you’ve got two more completely different looks that are bright and fresh.
Thank you to Caspari for gifting products used in this post. It’s thanks to sponsors like Caspari that we’re able to create the fabulous and fun content that we do! I love to partner with brands I already use, and I’ve been a fan of Caspari’s for years.
I LOVE these new caspari napkins! How wonderful for guest towels and all entertaining. Just ordered some for our table.
LOve the vintage teacups, too! So so pretty! Beautiful table setting – you’ve given me some great ideas and inspiration.
Eek you will love them! I’m obsessed. Great quality.
Thank you, thank you! I’m still working on getting all of our teacups that match our set. I found these in Charlottesville and they were a perfect match for now!
