Dinner partyFunny when you notice a trend in your own photo resevoir. Like these tablescapes I seem to have collected. Only once I noticed them did I realize how much I long to throw a dinner party. And actually, throwing a dinner party is on my list of “25 things to do before I turn 25″. And I haven’t done it yet, with only 4 months left to go! When I finally get to, I’ll definitely be using these photos as inspiration. I love the use of burlap and linen as tablecloths or runners, and the strong emphasis on greenery as centerpieces. Even the flowers are dominated by their greenery. And of course the grassy feel of the greens with the natural fibers of the textiles is perfectly accented by raw or reclaimed wood. A little lace adds a pretty touch, like a milkmaid with a ribbon in her hair. And the glass and silver brings a little sparkle. Because without sparkle, well your dinner party would just be dinner.

Oh yes, I love this earthy table trend. Especially succulents.
And we are like the exact same age. I’m turning 25 in May. Does it feel old to you?
Melanie,
Sometimes I feel like it’s old (when I start saying stuff like “OMG I’m turning TWENTY-FIVE” you can tell), but other times I feel like I’m still really young. Of course, being unmarried and kid and mortgage-free lends it’s hand to feeling young still.
Of course, ten years ago I thought I’d be married with two kids and a 4 bedroom house when I turned 25. Youth is wasted on the young, they say.
I’m loving those succulents – and I do like how there’s so much green in all the pics. It’s such a nice idea to have arrangements that will last longer than just a vase full of cut flowers.
these definitely have a rustic vibe that i really like. burlap is also an option to save money which i definitely like.
