A Winter's Eve Dinner Tablescape

Every January we have a few friends over

 for a relaxing post-holiday winter eve's dinner.

I always do up the tablescape in silver and white.

And most of the time for these dinner parties
it is snowy white and beautiful outside.

So what's more perfect than giving the dinner a

snowflake theme?

As guests walk up to our door
 they are greeted with a shimmering wreath.

This year it is only six for dining.

I just noticed I forgot to put out the bread plates, oops.

I simply put white metal snowflake scrapbook embellishments
on a shiny silver metallic card stock for the nameplates.

The card stock matches the dinner plate chargers well.

                  My new snowflake plates match my napkins perfectly.

My friend Marcia made my snowflake napkins.

 All I had to do was supply the plain napkins and buy the thread -

her amazing machine-that-does-everything-but-the-dishes

 did the rest! (Thanks, Marsh!)

A old tarnished silver gravy server holds the spoons

for our after-dinner coffee and tea.

Tuck in a fun little snowflake book to carry the theme.

I love the perfect chance to use my silverplate!

Here and there we find snowflake themed items

brightening things up a bit....bringing bling

and glimmer to our winter's evening.....

Fun silver metal drink swizzle sticks keep things festive.

The frosted glass snowflake tealight holders

are scattered all around the table.

It's the perfect look on a cold winter's eve!

This is a new after-holiday sparkly trio candleholder 

centerpiece just perfect for this tablescape!

I added the reindeer to it, have had them for years.

I like the way the tablescape is reflected in the mirror,

 and a portion of the foyer chandy is in the other mirror.

I shut off the lights to show the candle glow,

 but it's still too bright outside 

even with the shutters closed.

Light flickers against crystal,

mercury candle sticks and metallic star garland.

Candlelight creates a mood like no other!

You've seen this recently - I kept it out - 

 it is tucked in the corner on my tea cart near the table

for a wintery look for this special evening.
