Last Year's Prom

For Tablescape Thursday sponsored by Susan at BETWEEN NAPS ON THE PORCH

Since I only started blogging this January, I haven't shared pictures of last prom. It was in May, my younger daughter was a Junior in High School and the theme was "Enchanted Garden." We had a post-prom breakfast for her friends. I had a them of my own to go with the garden theme - plaid. You'll see why below. Target had some plaid melamine plates, bowls and napkins on sale around prom time last year which fit in well with our plans.

Here is my table - the pastel plaid runners are made of paper called Transpatex and are reusable as long as no one spills on them. I've been lucky. I bought them at a teashop in Gettysburg, PA years ago. I used plastic plates. cutlery and goblets. I made the topiary arrangements with roses from the grocery store and boxwood from the yard. We had a French toast casserole, hashbrown casserole, fruit with yogurt dip, bacon, cupcakes, pretzels and cheese and crackers.

For our cupcakes, we candied johnny jump up flowers for garnish. We also sprinkled them with edible glitter.




OK, Here is the reason for the plaid on the table, my daughter's dress!


Prom this year is in May and we already have the dress. I will share it with you when the time comes! :D Jewel
