Easter is the most joyful celebration of the Orthodox faith in Russia, and each year after church services, families gather to exchange decorated eggs, symbols of renewed life and hope. In 1885, the ruler of the Romanov dynasty, Czar Alexander III and Czarina Maria Fedorovna celebrated their twentieth anniversary, so the czar wanted to give a fabulous gift to his wife. He commissioned Peter Carl Fabergé to create the most unusual, beautiful egg imaginable filled with a suitable surprise for the empress.

To everything, there is a natural flow, and these exquisite tablescapes are no exception. Here are a couple of ways you can create a dramatic tablescape for your next special dinner.

Delight in the flow of conversation as the candlelight dances along a sparkling stream of sea glass. Tropical accents such as paper drink umbrellas all set upon a dark table runner evoke calmness and beauty.

Are you looking for a fun theme for your outdoor party? This summer we present the festive Aloha Tablescape, designed with our tropical Florida colors. Traditional luau feasts are usually experienced seated on the floor, but our tablescape has been fashioned for a buffet or individual table setting. Here’s how we created this vibrant table:

A tropical storage box filled with luscious fruit sits atop our key lime colored tablecloth. To add drama to our centerpiece, we placed palm fronds inside the box, and tropical flowers were draped along the table. Round woven placemats spotlight the beautiful green bamboo-rimmed plates and coral top plates. Keeping with the theme, a palm leaf secures a hibiscus bloom to each napkin.

Creating unique tablescapes is a great way to add a little extra style to your parties!
