Cherry Blossom Table






The cherry blossoms are in full bloom in Washington, DC!  If you have never seen this pink profusion event it is worth the trip. As a tribute to Pinks in the Tidal Basin, I set my Nani's little table on the side porch.




The best I can estimate, this table is edging close to 100 years old. It has never been repainted and is a real chippy mess!  But that made it perfect for eating al fresco.


The table is set for dessert~ YUM!
The plates are stacked to reflect the pretty pinks, whites and greens of the CHERRY BLOSSOMS!







Homemade vanilla cupcakes frosted with strawberry icing and embellished with pretty pink pearls rest in a pink nest of  paper grass. Dessert under glass! This makes the humble cupcake much more elegant!
Look for the cupcake recipe in an upcoming post... the icing is delicious!







Pink napkins are overlaid with netting and caught up in a Cherry Blossom inspired napkin ring. The netting adds a soft layer of fluff! The napkin rings are from Wm-Sonoma.








The table may be old and chipped but fine Waterford glasses hold a refreshing pink libation.



The tall white vase is filled with pink and white cherry blossoms. I literally have boxes of them. They were recycled from my daughter's wedding. I have made so many wreaths with them! See the Cherry Blossom Wreath on my side bar for a Tutorial.





A little nest is also dressed up with these charming flowers.








Cherry Blossoms are so sweet and delicate, and so is the feel of this table.

    Absolutely beautiful! Your tablescapes always take my breath away! Your photography and attention to detail is something I always look forward to and you never disappoint me! Pink, green and white are one of my favorite color combinations and you nailed it, right down to the beautiful, old, chippy table, tulle netting and those gorgeous napkin rings and birds' nest. Thank you for sharing such a lovely table with us.

    Your kitchen is upside down, and yet you rise to the occasion and set such a lovely table. You are such a talented "tablescaper" Yvonne! Oh, and you had me fooled. . . I thought the cherry blossoms were real!!!

    Yvonne, I'm going to get the computer equivalent of an old fashioned stamp that just says "this is breathtakingly gorgeous" and use it for your tables every week. Even without a kitchen you did it! Those cupcakes look so pretty too. The pearls are the perfect little touch. I'm sure your daughter's wedding must have been a wonderful event. Linda

    Oh my, Yvonne...you've done it yet, again! How lovely to be able to use your Nani's table to feature some precious pieces & some yummy looking treats! I just ♥ heirlooms like that!

    You picked up the pale greens in the blossoms with the bottom plate & then repeated it in the lime slices beautifully....very good eye!!!

    Setting the cupcake treats on that scrunchy nest of crinkled paper was such a cute touch. I'm TOTALLY enamored with the gorgeous napkins you used, as well.

    Oh how I wish I could sit down & share this little piece of Heaven with you! You are SO talented, my friend. BRAVO!

    Your every post is swoon worthy! As a novice tablescaper, I bow down to you. You never cease to amaze me with the beauty that you create.

    I would love to know what kind of camera you use. I am interested in purchasing a new one but there are so many to choose from. Yours takes beautiful pictures. Or perhaps it's just that the photographer knows how to use it! ;)
