All That Glistens is Gold!
I set our dining table in red and gold this year. Rich Parchment Red by Mikasa is a lovely pattern with scrolls of gold.
I dressed the reindeer with holly leaves, berries and evergreen. I topped their heads with golden crowns. The gold vase in the backyard is a Pottery World purchase we bought years ago. Love the look and of course it is full of bling!
Since there is so much going on this table, I decided to keep the centerpiece simple. I am using our gold bowl. I filled it with Deodara's branches and a few ornaments. The red compotes hold a glass golden pear.

Everything is gorgeous, as always, but you know what caught my eye in particular? In photo #3, that exquisite lamp in the background that looks like a slender golden double-handed urn -- jeez, I just love that! So elegant.
ReplyDeleteWow Linda, you dramatic gold and red holiday table is stunning! I especially like the way you “dressed” the gold deer and am looking forward to seeing how you made the lovely place “cards” for each inviting setting. And, your spectacular decorated chandelier creates a spectacular Christmas setting.
ReplyDeleteLinda, you are bling personified! I will always associate glamour & glitz with you. Your table is decked out beautifully with all that glistens. I love the gold beads in the hurricanes for the candles, and the deer with their crowns. The place cards are very pretty! The chandelier looks great with those LED lights. Those are very cool. I bet this table glistens at nighttime with the light catching all the glimmer and bouncing off the placemats. Happy December. Leaving that table set should be a nice way to keep the Christmas spirit alive through the month. :)
ReplyDeleteYou never disappoint Linda. So beautiful. Have a great week. xoxo Kris
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great combination of close up and distance photos. Often I see photos that are all close up and I can't really tell what the table really looks like as a whole.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love that everything is where it should be on the table setting!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely stunning, Linda. And your chandelier is "oo lah lah!" I also think the place cards you made are so pretty, too. I love gold and red together....always a pretty combination! Brava!!!

ReplyDeleteLinda, there is something so incredibly elegant about red and gold together. You certainly designed this tablescape into a classic. I love the bling. It is perfect for anytime of year, but especially for Christmas. The more it glistens the better! I love your unique ways to dress up your deer and chandelier. I can imagine when night falls just how exquisite your table might be. The place cards are such a lovely touch as well as the glass pears. So elegant. Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteIt is all exquisite! I can't choose a favorite element as it all is fabulous! I have a question: the pieces on the chandy that look like they are lit; are they? They are SO pretty! Wishing you the BEST holiday season. And that you for all you have done for me. XO
