Girls' Night (Get the look)
I hosted a girls' night earlier this week and I think one of my favorite parts of the evening was putting together the tablescape. I thrifted (or borrowed from my mom's thrifted collection) everything I used for my table design, but I've pulled together some similar items to inspire you for your next event!
A vase of flowers and some crystal go a long way in elevating your table setting. Crystal is plentiful and easy to find at thrift stores, sometimes for as cheap as .99 a piece. The best way to distinguish crystal from mere cut glass is to give it a little tap. If it rings like a bell rather than emitting a dull clink, bingo! you've found a crystal treasure.
- I love these Villeroy and Roch Garden dishes. Linked here and here.
- This colorful French block print tablecloth. My exact tablecloth is this one from Kate Spade.
- Madeline pans for your showstopper. Recipe and tutorial here.
- I bought my scalloped napkins in Florence for €5 and I kind of regard them as the best find of that trip. Similar here and here.
- I thrifted a giant julep cup that I used as the vase for my roses, but I love the look of a champagne bucket for a centerpiece. Similar here and here.
- A pair of crystal candlesticks with white tapers make for the perfect addition to a floral arrangement. Nothing more is needed. Similar here.
- Whether you're not a drinker or you're doing dry January, a mocktail is a nice addition to a dinner menu. I love a fancy little drink and a premixed beverage like Tost is a great low effort option.
- And of course, you need a glass for that fancy drink and a water goblet to match. More links here and here.
- Last but not least, a cake stand for that showstopper Madeleine tower. This one from Estelle is charming.
I hope this inspired you to host an event, or at the very least, to do some thrifting and add to your own collection of dishes and linens!
