For our Mother's Day lunch, I set a theme of soft, romantic pinks and fresh, vibrant greens, a nod to the blossoming garden surrounding us. Roses, of course, were the star of the show. To create a truly unique floral display, I utilized our table rod in an unexpected way. Hanging it upside down from the palapa's thatched roof, it became a stunning suspended garden, showcasing a breathtaking bevy of delicate pink roses. They cascaded gently overhead, creating a floral canopy that felt both whimsical and elegant, showering our table with their sweet fragrance.
The tablescape below was designed to complement this overhead floral masterpiece. Each place setting began with a charming pink petal placemat, adding a touch of playful texture. Layered on top were our scalloped dinner plates, a delightful combination of soft pink and a refreshing shade of green with a butterfly. To complete the setting, each plate was topped with a vibrant green Bordallo Pinheiro plate serving as a unique and natural salad plate. The contrast of the delicate pinks with the crisp greens felt so fresh and celebratory, perfectly capturing the spirit of the day.
Mimosas were served in pretty pink champagne flutes.

ReplyDeleteThank you Liz. It was a fun day, except it got a little windy.
DeleteThat's the best palapa I've ever seen, it must be the talk of the town and the envy of all the neighbors. All I have is a cheap awning over my back door, if I ever win the lottery the first thing I buy will be a palapa.
ReplyDeleteLinda,
