Interestingly enough, there are still a lot of my Valentine's Day table elements. For Valentine's Day I used a Red and Gold palette and for Chinese New Year I added Light Blue to the Red and Gold!
I changed the darker burgundy tablecloth to one with a brighter red. I used the same gold chargers but on top of those I used light blue melamine plates that actually have an Asian flair. First a light blue plate, then a white/light blue floral print plate, then a blue flower shaped desert plate. And on top of that I used an acrylic martini glass which would be great for either desert or a fruit first course. Maybe lychee nuts!
I used the same gold napkins with red napkin rings and the same stemware, but instead of flatware I used chopsticks, of course. Now if you made me really eat with those you would be in for a laugh! So there will be flatware close by when a meal is served!
For my centerpiece I used the same gold beaded lone place mat I used for Valentine's Day. This time I topped it with 2 blue mercury glass candlesticks and 2 Chinese dog figurines from the Target Dollar-ish Section several years ago.
So Happy Chinese New Year everyone!
Another beautiful table Jewel. Love the addition of the blues. those candlesticks are gorgeous! What a clever use of the martini glasses. I'm going to have to be on the lookout for some that are as pretty as those. I didn't have any pretty chop sticks to use on my Chinese NY table, but since none of us can use them , I'm never invested in any. Yours look so pretty on your table. laurie
ReplyDeleteI really like the colour combo of this table, the blue with the deep red is very striking! That beaded placemat with the pillar candleholders makes a lovely centerpiece. I enjoy the challenge of eating with chopsticks! Makes me eat less!
ReplyDeleteDD
The blues on this table are so different and create a completely unique look. Love the dishes in the middle of the plates. (Not sure what they're called)
ReplyDeleteAnd I would not be able to eat with chopsticks either.
Lovely table, Jewel! I love your color scheme....very unique and fun! The chopsticks add a nice touch!
ReplyDeleteHave a beautiful day~
