Tablescape Tuesday: Pink & Green

~ Food & Entertaining, Tablescape Tuesday

“Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭13:4-6‬ ‭

Warm Tuesday greetings dear friends…and Happy Valentines week!  I hope you all take the time to tell those you love just how much they mean to you! I had nothing in mind for this weeks Tablescape Tuesday…until I spotted some gorgeous pink tulips at the grocery store!  I wasn’t really sure how I was going to arrange them, until I remembered my friend Bonnie’s post on her stunning camellias that she grows. They are breathtaking!  I only have one camellia bush that has pretty red booms, but I also have four salad plates that showcase four varieties of camellias! So I pulled them out and the next thing I knew, I had a pink and green tablescape all set for you!

I love the ease of a bouquet of tulips, no arranging because they have a mind of their own…

…they are a beautiful stand alone flower…

…and they like to be center stage!

I repurposed Monday Morning Blooms and The Softer Side of Valentine’s flowers to make three small bouquets!

I added floral placemats to satisfy my love for color and pattern and rattan chargers for texture!

*

My wedding stemware “Rainbow” by Noritake that I still love after all these years!

*

This could be a table for Valentine’s Day! It just made me happy during the gray days of winter to use pinks and greens, one of my favorite color combinations!

*

“So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭13:13‬ ‭

Candlelight makes everything softer and prettier!

  I want to wish everyone a very Happy Valentine’s Day. Thank you for your visits and the comments that you leave, they truly make my day!

  1. Pam, Your camellia plates along with your table take my breath away! I feel like I should have seen them before but I don’t remember them. Have you used them in a tablescape before? I was swooning over Bonnie’s beautiful camellia varieties too! Happy Tuesday. ♥

    • Mary, I have only used the camellia plates a couple of times. I am not sure why I haven’t used them more often! Rain and clouds today, I think it is a good day to bake cookies with my granddaughter!

  2. Stunning, Pam! I adore everything about this post. Pink and green are favorites of mine and oh, goodness are they pretty in your new dining room. Love the Camellia plates and that is because I so love Camellias. But, they are southern girls and are not happy in the hills of WV. Anyway, I thank you for this beautiful post and giving me Camellias this morning. But, your pink tulips are the star.

    Have a lovely week, dear friend! ❤

  3. Pam, this is so beautiful, and the perfect thing to brighten this cloudy winter’s morning. I am swooning over those pretty plates, and I adore the pink and green color combination. The Jacobean print placemats are both lovely and perfect to add interest and color to each place setting. The pink tulips are such a gorgeous finishing touch! Happy Tuesday, sweet friend!

  8. So lovely, Pam! I think your camellia plates are stunning! Your collage design is striking the way you placed the plates showing them off beautifully.
    Thank you for the shoutout. That was very sweet. I am enjoying my camellias very much as we also have had some gray dull days.
    As always I enjoy your beautiful tablescapes and flower arrangements. You inspire!

  12. Oh Pam, those are the most beautiful plates I’ve ever seen! I would love to hang them in a grouping in my guest room!! I have been picking camellias and floating them in a pretty bowl of water lately. Unfortunately, my kitties think it was done for their entertainment and love to fish the blooms out. When I was a little girl growing up in Charleston, my father had to go on a business trip to Pennsylvania in the dead of winter…he and my mom filled a box with damp moss and layered as many camellia blossoms inside as they could for him take on the trip. All the ladies up there in PA had a fit because they’d never seen such beautiful flowers.

    • What a sweet story of the traveling camellias. I love that you often share sweet and personal stories with me. I know your kitties appreciate your efforts with the floating camellias. Have a most wonderful day, Roxanne❤️

  20. Oh, that’s pretty! Pink & green, of course, reminds me of the Greenbrier. Your stemware is beautiful with it, Pam. I can envision that together with the Reverie pattern (I just purged mine). This table feels like spring!

  26. My friend, it just amazes me how you can pull something so beautiful together so effortlessly! Oh, my! This is just beautiful. I am going to pin your amazing candlelit picture. I hope that is okay. God bless you abundantly for always making my day!

  30. Beautiful. I love my camellia bushes, a bit of colour in Wintertime. Right now nearly everything is scorched with record heat a fortnight ago! It’s making it difficult to do the church flowers, I’ve had to buy some of the blooms.
