Backyard Tablescape: Pretty in Pink

This is our final tablescape from this summer. Pink can make for the most elegant affair! Some of the most beautiful weddings I've been to have used pink, white, cream, and gold as their colors, and I think it is precious. For this design, we used pink teacups and green and gold accents to really make this elegant. Most of the teacups were borrowed from my grandmother, which I think adds a special sentimental touch. Again, these were photographed by Kristian McCarley. Thanks Kristian!
We hung a chandelier from the tree, which is a really elegant idea for indoor or outdoor events! Each place setting is set with a teacup and a pink rose. Teacups were also set up on the candle holders for something a little unique! We also used a teapot as a vase for flowers to tie in with the theme. The "wine" bottle on the table would be a great idea for a table number. You can get bottles printed with numbers or words (such as a monogram) to make it personal and multi-purposed.


Again, we used different shades of pink to add contrast and depth. Green is a great neutral to mix in to any color scheme to give more dimension to the design and not so monochromatic.

We used a tall candelabra to add height. If you are doing multiple tables, it is a good idea to alternate some table with tall arrangements and some with short. It adds variety and interest. Along with this tall arrangement, we also have shorter ones down below to give it some grounding. Mixing heights is an important design element to consider. This was my first floral arrangement I've made, and as you can see we used different shades of pink, and a variety of flowers mixed with the green neutral. We used some roses up top, to tie in the the roses at the bottom.

I love this picture of the chandelier. It has a soft, vintage look to it. I think we are going to use this picture as the background for our website. Good job Kris!
