I am, like most of you, very much enamored with the amazing Downton Abbey. I’m obsessed with the set dressing and the old world elegance and I thought it would be fun to dissect the tabletop from the premier of season three.

La Tavola’s Cheju White linen, has that beautiful and classic damash pattern and paired with crisp white linens folded in a bishop hat napkin fold, and you’re pretty close to the formal place setting (you can learn to this napkin fold right here). While real silver candleabras probably won’t grace your table, you can pick up these Candelabras from Jamali Gardens (Town & Country also has them for rent). Add in some floral arrangement in classic silver urns filled with soft pink roses, plumosa, lavender, and verbena for that classic English feel. Use revere bowls (also avaliable for rent from Town & Country) and fill with pears, apples, and exotic pineapple. Finish off the look with silver menu holders and a hand calligraphed menu.

As much as I love colorful shoes for a wedding, sometimes nothing beats a classic white d’orsay  with a hint of sparkle, don’t you think?

Today I’m super excited to welcome Camille of Modern Day Designs to Santa Barbara Chic! Camille was kind enough to design this soft wintery blue tablescape featuring peonies, succulents, astrania, and muscari. Patrick Moyer came out to capture the pretty on film, Town & Country set the table with their pretty rentals and Florabundance provided the pretty blooms.

Camille used a soft palette of peach with touches of blue and white.

A glass dome held a succulent in a footed silver container.

White peonies and chocolate queen anne’s lace created texture in the arrangement. For the place setting, Town & Country’s provence china and pearl handled flatware created a slightly French feel.

My white garden chairs just happened to work perfectly with Camille’s design!

Containers were a mix of silver and glass and held gorgeous winter white peonies from Florabundance.

My personal favorite, muscari, was arranged simply in a glass vase.

And finally a single strand of Astrania was placed at each place setting. Thank you, Camille for desiging this pretty winter table just for Santa Barbara Chic!
