Memories of Proms Past

MEMORIES OF PROMS PAST!



For Tablescape Thursday hosted by Susan at BETWEEN NAPS ON THE PORCH. Be sure and visit her blog to see all the wonderful tablescapes!



My younger daughter, who is a freshman in college, is going to the prom at her old high school this weekend. Since this is not "her" prom, just her date's, I won't be hosting the after-prom breakfast I have had for the last couple of years. So I thought I would stroll down Memory Lane and tour Proms Past!

This was in 2006. 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. I used a paper plaid runner that has luckily survived to this day with no spills!!!







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.



Thanks for sharing this prom past with me! Sorry to be gone so long from my blog, but life does get hectic!!!!

Tablescape Thursday - Prom 2006

For Tablescape Thursday hosted by Susan at BETWEEN NAPS ON THE PORCH. Be sure and visit her blog to see all the wonderful tablescapes!



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.

Here is my daughter and her date, who picked her up in a horse-drawn carriage!
