Our tablescape

Amanda working hard on last minute details

My friend Amanda and I worked together to create our tablescape for The Bridge's first DelecTables event. It was such a fun evening of girly foods, decor and fellowship.

Our table was called Caffeinated Christmas. Coffee-themed, of course! I thought I'd share with you guys this idea, as it was fun and cheap! We used burlap for the tablecloth (really inexpensive!) with red napkins. Our centerpiece was a glass vase filled with coffee beans and springs of holly (clipped from my own yard) adorned with small green and red ornaments. Coffee beans were also sprinkled around the table like confetti. We used small glass votives for some mood lighting. Casual ivory place settings were set on gold chargers (borrowed from a friend). Above each plate was a chocolate dipped spoon that had each guest's name tied to them for place cards. The favor we gave were hand-made gift tags (by "we" I mean, a whole bunch of ladies made them on the women's retreat - and they were SO CUTE!). We put those in cardboard boxes and just wrapped some gold and red ribbon around them.

We served Cappuccino Mousse Trifle (in individual trifle dishes), Oreo Bon Bons, chocolate dipped strawberries, pirottes, and coffee.
