Tablescape Thursday - Happy 18th Birthday!

For this Tablescape Thursday sponsored by Susan at BETWEEN NAPS ON THE PORCH, I am featuring my daughter's 18th Birthday Party which was just last Saturday Night!

There was no theme, just a runner, napkins and cake plates from Target. My next door neighbors helped us cook out hamburgers for 24 people. There was also baked beans, potato salad, fruit and Nacho Bean dip.

Soft Drinks on the Buffet.

I bought some coral/orange roses and yellow mums at Walmart and acuba from my yard. I also used rosy red camellias and Carolina Jasmine (a yellow flowing vine) from my neighbor's yard for the arrangements. I used a green ceramic vase in the middle and two tin buckets on either side for vases. I used another tin container on the mantle.

These candle holders and cake cutters are my neighbor's also. They are hollow to fill with anything you want. I used napkins to tie into the color scheme.

A local bakery made the cake.
