Inspiration: Eye-popping Tablescapes

Loving bold and bright table settings. Why not let your dinnerware and floral arrangements work together to make a powerful statement?

The manipulation of greenery along with various textured vases makes this table almost mesmerizing! 

Lime green mini cakes as table settings? Why not!

Even a simple pairing of contrasting colors can make a big statement.

Edible Trends: Flowers or Food?

Brighten up your spring table with entrees that can double as decor. Sure, "edible" flowers can do the trick, but even everyday veggies can be beautiful. Lets take a second look at some classics.

These turnips resemble buds when they are whole and petals after they are cut. Decorate a green salad with them and you have yourself an edible bouquet.  

Broccoli perfection or dark Viburnum?

And to save the best for last: figs. These fruits add and absolutely gorgeous and sensual element to any table.

Yum!
