Since I shared my younger daughter's prom on this blog last week, I thought I would show you the Tablescape for my older daughter's senior prom in 2006. I was inspired to do an after the prom breakfast by my neighbor who had done the same thing for her son several years before. It has become a neighborhood tradition!
You will notice that I used the same paper plaid runner for this table. (I told you I had been lucky with spills!) The theme was something like "Tropical Beach." This was the first use of my blue and green goblets, which now are used all summer long, especially on our porch! I got them at CVS Pharmacy for 75 cents each. I made punch and served it from the silver punch bowl passed down from my grandmother.
For my centerpiece, I hollowed out a pineapple to act as my vase. I got a mixed bouquet from Sam's Club (back when mine carried flowers) and arranged them in the pineapple.
Here is my daughter and her date, who picked her up in a horse-drawn carriage!
Be sure to visit Susan at BETWEEN NAPS ON THE PORCH for more great tables!
And can anyone tell me why the followers widgit is no longer working for me? It seems to have happened a week or so ago. I can't see who is following me and I can't follow anyone new. Help if you can please!!!!!!!!!

I'm loving that silver punch bowl!!! It's all so creative and colorful!
Looks like a fun and festive table...and you daughter is beautiful!
Aren't you a wonderful mother? How sweet to do this and the colors would certainly wake up those getting tired teen eyes! I just love this!
Be a sweetie,

I love those colors! And I have the same "hawaiian" dish!
What a fun table - I'm sure the kids enjoyed it. My favorite, though, is the pineapple vase and pretty flowers.
Love the colors and the tropic theme. I was born and raised in the caribean!
What a great idea to hold an after prom breakfast. Your table and the colors certainly make it look fun and inviting.
Have a great Thursday,

What a fun time. Wish I could have been there to hula. Beautiful dress!
Aloha, Candy
That must be one romantic boy, to be picking her up in a horse drawn carriage. I love your centerpiece with a pinnapple used for a vase. Very nice. I kept messing up my perma link, so I hope you can find me and stop by my blog for a visit.
Very festive. Thanks for sharing.
I love that you did this "after prom breakfast" for them! I didn't have that after my prom...Darling tablescape!
Fun tablescape.. LOVE the hollowed out pineapple vase! Oh and the horse drawn white carriage!

great post!!! I love how colorful it is!
Another beautiful daughter and such a beautiful table for teenagers. Love the horse and buggy too. Cindy
So beautiful! Love the colors and the centerpiece. The horse drawn carriage is a nice touch! Deb
What wonderful prom memories! How cool with the horse drawn carriage -- my SIL works at Colonial Williamsburg with the horses - love riding in the carriages!
See ya!
Love your table! I love plaid and your runner is just wonderful. Beautiful daughter too!

Oh, what fun! I love the glasses, and the centerpiece is incredible. Oh, and how sweet is the horse drawn carriage?! Thanks for sharing -- I'll bet it is a breakfast your daughter will always remember!

Oh, how romantic to be picked up in a horse-drawn carriage--did she marry that man? :)
What a great punch bowl, made even more special because it was grandma's. I also love the aqua and green goblets. Boy, those would work nicely on a few of my tables.
What a wonderful tradition for a neighborhood to have.
You have very beautiful daughters, too.
Hi Jewel...great themed party table...especially with the pineapple vase. Your daughter is gorgeous & obviously her date felt fortunate to be taking her to the prom & went all out with the horse & carriage...BTW, the followers widget is back on your blog now...

Your table is lovely. Impressed that your daughter's date showed up in a horse drawn carriage. Beth at I'm Heading Towards My Destiny did a post on the follower thing a few Saturdays back. Her button is on my sidebar. You would probably need to look back in her posts about 2 Sat. ago. I didn't read it, so I don't know how you fix the problem.
Beautiful daughter!!
Cute and colorful tablescape!
That flower arrangement in the pineapple is magnificent! I must ask-- are the flowers in a vase in the pineapple, or just in the pineapple? I'm probably going to have to try this just for myself. :)
Your daughter is lovely as is her dress. What fun to go to the prom is a horse drawn carriage!
The Hawaiian theme is such fun!!! I love the flowers in the pineapple, fantastic idea! Your daughter is beautiful and the carriage ride must be a great memorie.
What a beautiful memory you made for your daughter! And everything looked so nice! Awesome job!!

Wow, what a great way to enjoy the prom! I think I'll suggest that to my daughter...
Loved your pretty table - and who wouldn't love a horse drawn carriage ride! What fun. Your daughter is beautiful! I am sure she had a wonderful time. As for your followers widget, mine stopped working last week-and started working on its own again. Some sort of crazy glitch I guess. On my computer all my followers disappeared - then reappeared a couple days later. I hadn't touched a thing--- Love, Paula
Ohhhh, love this fun, festive table and your daughter is beautiful! A horse-drawn carriage...I'm impressed! What a gentleman! Bet they had a wonderful time. Thanks for sharing this beautiful table...love your centerpiece!

Those 75 cent goblets are darling and they coordinate so well with the table runner. Another pretty daughter, and how neat to go to the prom in a carriage. laurie
Oh I love the horse drawn carriage..the shot looks right out of a movie..what a beautiful memory..
thanks for the visit this morning, I'm glad you liked the spoons. I've had them for quite awhile..don't see little treasures like that very often anymore..
Have a super w/k.
