Everything's Coming Up Roses!

Over the weekend we had a brunch for a group from our church and two friends brought me roses from their gardens - so everything was coming up roses at my house!

I will be linking to Tea Time Tuesday and Tablescape Thursday.

The roses were all different colors and I almost went with a white tablecloth, but, inspired by the pinks and yellows, I decided to use my yellow tablecloth with the pink chiffon (again!).

On the mantle, I draped more pink chiffon and arranged some of the roses in a glass basket. It made me think of May Day baskets!

In the foyer, my daughter arranged greenery and roses in the epergne.

After the brunch, which I served from the table, I put out gold charger, Royal Doulton Canton china, stemware and flatware to make an "eating" table.

Here are some closer views of the roses in my centerpiece.

Beautiful arrangements of beautiful flowers. I can't believe you have roses blooming there. I just went out and took pictures of the daffodils which are just starting to bloom. lol

I agree, the bright pop of the runner goes so well with the colors of the roses. What a pretty blend of colors and I love the different stages the roses are in. What a fun luncheon. They look so great on the entry table too.

Beautiful roses. I love the yellow and pinks together. So very springlike and those colors certainly go with the flowers. A lovely table.

How very grown up your presentations are! Roses are lovely anywhere, but your vessels are just right to show them off at their best.

Hi, I'm your newest follower. These flower arrangements are just gorgeous!!! I really love your epergne. I'm also in North Carolina and love old houses. Please stop by and visit my blog if you have a chance. I used roses this week too, but mine are not nearly so elegant as yours. Happy Mother's Day!
