Many, many people in Atlanta look forward to the Dogwood Festival each year. It was held this past weekend, and it was full of music, art, food and celebrated the lovely dogwood trees we are so privileged to have here in this beautiful city. I put together this table as a tribute to the many volunteers that it takes to hold this event.
We have lots of dogwood here, both as specimens and many wild ones in the woods. They made beautiful fillers for these old blue Ball jars. I kept the white linen cloth and the burlap runners that I had on the table for "Bunnies and Burlap" (here).
I posted a very similar table to this before, when the dogwood was blooming. It was probably my favorite table ever. You can see it here.
I love the colors of taupe, turquoise and white together. Can you see the faux bois design on the salad plate?
The light wood on the flatware seemed just right with the burlap, and I used these white linen napkins with turquoise linen flower napkin rings.
I put bread sticks in these glass lined, birch covered votives.
The glassware was plain Tiffany stems with turquoise glass tumblers made by Martha Stewart.
I love this easy, easy centerpiece.
These birch-like candles never even got lit, as it is staying light so much later these days.
I knew we are headed for a full week of rain, so I grabbed my clippers and cut a huge bunch of limbs for this granite bucket by the front door. Is it too much to mix the dogwood and the forsythia? Oh, who cares? I'm so into spring!

Love your bouquet at the door. I haven't been to the Dogwood Festival in years.
ReplyDeleteMe either! I am too old and not fond of mud!!! But I love the idea of it!
DeleteI used to love the Dogwood Fest when I lived in the ATL. I love your tablescape:)
ReplyDeleteI was intrigued by your link at BNOTP as the Dogwood is our provincial (Canada) flower. Your tablescape is so pretty. Love repetition down the center of a table and your jars of dogwood are beautiful. The colours of your dishware are so soothing and tranquil. Glad I stopped by!
ReplyDeletePS - That should be the floral emblem of BC, Canada
DeleteI love every little bit of this table=scape. You have used my favourite color combinations and some of my favorite elements. Lovely!
