As I’m writing this post, it’s just about time for Memorial Day . So, Happy Memorial weekend and may you had a great one. Currently right now in Michigan, we have scattered thunderstorms but that didn’t stop us from grilling some hamburgers and hotdogs . Still a great day guys, trying to stay positive here.
If you have been following me on the blog, you know I have quite an obsession with tablescapes and pretty much the concept of entertaining. Check out my previous post here. If you are new, Welcome to my little space and I’m so glad you are here today. I am honored.
Memorial theme tablescapes is pretty much straightforward patriotic theme which is inspired from the colors of the American flag red, white and blue. So i gathered all the American flag inspired colors and put them together. Did a little creativity to it and done.
Dollar Store Find
What really makes me excited in this tablescape is what i found at the Dollar Store. Who doesn’t want a good deal ? Anyway, i found these mason jar lanterns, blue pebbles, white rocks and red led candles at the Dollar Store. I put them all together by layering the pebbles, rocks and led candles. Viola ! A great outdoor centerpiece. Not bad at all ! The rest of the stuffs are from Target and some of them I’ve had it for years.
Layering of Height for the Centerpiece
For my main centerpiece, I layered vases and jars in varying heights on a bark of wood tray. That way it looks interesting together with their simple floral arrangements. It looks like a mini garden in patriotic theme.
All in the Details
For the little details, pretty straightforward the American flag. I stuck it in between the napkin ring. I love this napkin ring by the way, it will serve many entertaining purposes.
Grocery store bought cupcakes , very fancy ! Hey, it does a great job to make the table look more bountiful . I also love that the cake stand gives height on the tablescape. Yes to this last minute idea.
Citrus Infused Water
During summer I love my citrus infused water. It’s refreshing and hydrating.
