With Christmas gone and all of my gold and red decorations put away, I thought it would be fun to create a pretty table with purples and greens.
The only thing about this theme is, I set it up in our red and gold breakfast room.
Bear with me and try to focus on the purple and green.
The green goblets are a Dollar store find.
The centerpiece is a clear tall cylinder. I added a white candle with greenery. I topped it off with a colorful lamp shade.
The Hobnail dessert compotes are from home Goods
The lamp shade is from Ross.
The purple boa is from a costume I wore.
A great tip for a centerpiece is to use a glass cylinder.
I like to top it off with a lamp shade.
Add a candle or two, greenery, potpourri, jewels, or water gems with an led light.
I created this one below for a wedding, along with the candy buffet.

Love keeping in touch! Thank you for the "over the top" compliment on my Winter Mantel...it is much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteI love the purple and green color scheme. It reminds me of my grandmother's amethyst collection. And your flatware goes so perfectly. Great find with those glasses...nice job, baby!
Love the fun color on this table! The centerpiece is cute! That cylinder dressed out with the boa and the lampshade is cute! I'm digging on those plates and the hobnail compotes!
ReplyDeleteIt is nice to see some new coloring after Christmas! Love the pretty napkins and the stemware too!
What a beautiful tablescape in purple and green! I'm very partial to purple (Purple Hues and Me Blog) and green is also one of my favorite colors. You could keep this up through St. Patrick's Day and also Mardi Gras! It's so versatile!!!
ReplyDeleteHi darling, what a beautiful table. I would have never thought of putting these rich colors together, it is incredible. hugs ~lynne ~
ReplyDeleteLinda- It is pretty but, even better, it is FUN. I love it-the table just has a lot of your personality in it! PERFECT- xo Diana
ReplyDeletePurple and green is one of my favorite color combinations... Yours is lovely...Happy 2013
ReplyDeleteGorgeous table setting, pretty Linda! I love this combo, the green and purple. I'm making a point to get something purple this year..be it dishes, or tablecloth and napkins..whatever! You just inspired me for sure! Thank you for dropping by my 3KD table..you are so sweet and kind and your blog is so great...wish I lived near you to learn, I was just in trouble, lol.. Big hugs,
ReplyDeleteFABBY
I love these colors together, they are used for Mardi Gras, too. You could throw a fabulous themed party! Please invite me if you do!
ReplyDeleteJust gorgeous.

ReplyDeleteHugs,

Great colour combo! I espec like the use of the cylinder vase with the lampshade as a centerpiece - looks so pretty!
ReplyDeleteDD
I love the deep purple color. Beautiful table!...Christine
ReplyDeletePurple is one of my favorite colors! I'm stopping by from Thursday Lovely Things
ReplyDeleteThat is so pretty! All of the color would perk me right up on this cold and dreary day we are having. :)
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! I love the hobnail dessert bowls!
ReplyDeleteI adore your mix of china . . . absolutely beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteConnie
LOVE it ! and purple and red look good together, looks good with orange too , heck purple is the new neutral LOL.
ReplyDeleteHello, Linda
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for dropping by my blog and thank you for your sweet words. I'm glad to have you on my list now, and I am proudly your 500th follower. You're such a talented women and your blog is spectacular, also I love your table setting in the dark lavender.
Happy New Year Dear!
Hugs Katherine.
Hi Linda, what a nice surprise to find that you visited my blog and followed me. I am very glad to have found your beautiful blog. I have fallen in love with purple this year and love them mixed with the green. And the lampshade on the glass cylinder is such a great idea to change the look of it. I'm sure the glow from a candle or even battery candle would be so pretty.
ReplyDeleteThank you for you nice comment at my place!
Dewena
So beautiful....love the color combination of green and purple together :o)
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!

I love purple and green, so I think your tablescape is lovely! I really like your centerpiece, the green silverware and the hobnail dessert glasses--very pretty!
ReplyDeleteHi Linda! Love the purple and green! So festive and bright to lighten up dreary days! Love the wedding reception tables too! Blessings from Bama!
ReplyDeleteHi Linda, I love the green and purple together. How clever to use a lampshade on top of the cylinder. The boa is perfect! I've seen those goblets at my $ Tree and am thinking about buying them. However, my Ross sure doesn't have that pretty flatware.
ReplyDeleteI have the green goblets from the Dollar Tree, and never thought to tuck a purple napkin in them. Love all the colors you used together!
ReplyDeleteHi! So nice meeting you! I'm sorry to be so late replying, we were out of town all day, just returned!
ReplyDeleteLove your purple and green tablescape! Lots of neat ideas here!
Thanks for "Following!"
Katherine
I am chuckling because so many of us are anticipating spring with our tables this week and winter has just begun for most! Your green and purple table is gorgeous. I like your idea of using a cylinder with shade for the centerpiece...you may be seeing that on one of my future tables!
ReplyDeleteI love this, so different and unique, I love purple and the boa...Priceless!
ReplyDeleteCArol
Beautiful colors. This table would be perfect for Mardi Gras. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteTalk about different! I've never seen these colours used in a tablescape, but what a wow!! Looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteDebbie :)
Wonderful and so magic, ahhhhhhhhhhhhh
ReplyDeleteXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
I like your table setting. It's a nice deviation from the Christmas colors you probably had in here and were ready to change. This table setting reminds me of Mardi Gras. Don't they celebrate that this month?
ReplyDeleteThe bold color combination is great, Linda, and the lampshade on the cylinder...I can tell you I would never have come up with that one, and it's a great idea!! Thanks for visiting/commenting on my Three Kings celebration. ~Zuni
ReplyDeleteHi Linda. Beautiful tablescape. That is so clever how you used the lampshade over the candle cylinder. I never see those pretty things at Ross's. Thanks for the kind comments to me. What little bit of snow we got was just enough to knock our dish out so my favorite show didn't tape. Not pretty!! Sure is cold though..Happy Friday..Judy
ReplyDeleteVery lovely Linda! Thanks for sharing. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! It looks like your ready for Mardi Gras. Party-on :)
ReplyDeleteHi Linda,
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful table setting, the mix of different colours is so refreshing @ this time of year!
Gorgeous!!
All the Best,
Christine
I luv green & purple! So elegant.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful table and so cheerful!

Hi Linda-
ReplyDeleteI love seeing all the bright colors on your table. Purple seems to be one of those colors most people forget about these days, but it's very pretty. I think about my childhood piano teacher's daughter every time I see it because she wanted everything around her purple. A former neighbor had her whole house purple too.
I love your pretty dessert compotes and your creative ideas for a centerpiece.
I decided to come back to my blog a week or two ago, so I'd love to have you drop by whenever you get the chance!
So darn pretty! I love the boa and the lampshade, what a great idea. Thank you so much for visiting my blog and for commenting and for following! I'm your newest follower as well :)
ReplyDeleteLové That you graced your beauty over at my place, better that I return to see settings the beautify a setting with rich relaxed elegance.
ReplyDeleteLove the Mackenzie child feel to the plates. They are plate settings to love.
Will visit real soon, looking to you for more inspiring beauty.

So pretty! Purple and green is great for Mardi Gras too!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for linking to Let's Dish!
purple has never been so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI've heard of those exchange parties, but I have never known of one around this area to participate in. That would be so much fun, and it makes a lot of sense!!! It's a way to give away stuff that you are tired of and get something that someone else has grown weary of looking at! Hmmmm...I need to try to get one of those parties going here!!! This is a table that would work out great for a lot of occasions including Mardi Gras with all the purple & green and the feather boa!!! I love the hobnail dessert compotes. I have seen those at T.J. Maxx/Home Goods, and I wanted them so bad in all the colors!!! I remember that decor from the wedding you decorated!!!!! It was so colorful, and I loved the collage you did on the wall!
