The table setting today is in honor of Only Son and Miss E who have now been married two years. Do you remember your second anniversary? Hmmm…thinking.
Anyway, they married on the beach in Florida, so I tried to bring in things from either the Rehearsal dinner or the wedding…or at least copy it!
So what did I use?
A cream pearl beaded table topper with a soft green openwork topper I just purchased in Panama City this summer. The lacey candles are from Hobby Lobby and I used these on the Rehearsal tables.
Pearl round placemats…I use these a lot cause I love them. (Dillard's)
Lavender chargers and plates (Penney’s)
White Shell salad plate (Marshall’s)
First Love silver (get it…first love?) I love a good theme.
First Love Goblets
Miss E used gorgeous silver lanterns from Pottery Barn so I had to work in a lantern of course.
The original:
And the copy:
I found this cute shell charger on vacation in FL this summer. Mr. Dumpling collects antique opalescent pitchers. This one is by Northwood called Daffodil, along with a sun purple syrup for the Blackberry Simple Syrup.
The glass vases were borrowed from a cousin. Do you know what they are? These were used in Morgan and Lindsay…glass placed on top. They were shelf holders. We filled them with gorgeous colorful flowers…more about that later.
Add other miscellaneous items and this is what we get!

| Found this at Tuesday Morning. |
And to represent the sea oats on the beach…and no, I didn’t pick them. Those signs on the beach warn really bad things to you if you do that!
For more fun…have you heard of Shutterfly? I love to use them for my photo books. I do them for vacations, etc.….and of course, a record of the wedding week.
They are so easy to compile (I’ll show you a few pics). If you join the site (free), you will get some great discount offers. I just looked and if you sign up now, you get 40 free 4x6 pics. No, I’m not being paid…I really love this site!

Lovely pretty table setting. It is all wonderful..I love the White pitcher is almost looks like Fenton glass. The purple looks like a creamer but like depression glass..don't know to much..but they are wonderful pieces. First time I ever heard of Fitz and Floyd..learn something new every day..great piece. Happy Thursday.
