Snowflakes on a Winter Tablescape

I knew I wanted to create a tablescape with a snowflake theme sometime. I had been looking for salad plates that were white and shaped like a snowflake for some time but the only ones I could find were too expensive. I have a white tablecloth with a snowflake design in it. I used it once on a tablescape my daughter and I did, you can see that tablescape here. I was planning a tablescape somewhat similar to that one with some different elements. But then I found this blue tablecloth with white snowflakes on Amazon several years ago. It was going to take too long to get here so I looked further and found it at Walmart online and I bought it there because it was going to ship faster. It is another Ambesonne tablecloth. I have several of them now, I love the strong graphics on their tablecloths. The blue color was tricky, I thought it would match many of my blue items but it turned out that many of the things I have were more in the turquoise color family and didn’t match the blues in this tablecloth. The colors here are more of a sky blue and baby blue color.

When I found these blue and white snowflake small plates on Ebay several years ago I had a feeling they would match the tablecloth perfectly and I was right. Sometimes the computer monitor doesn’t show the accurate color but in this case it was right on. They are melamine and they were made by Nicole Miller. I really love the shape of these plates and the design.

I bought these plain white salad plates at HomeGoods when I started tablescaping several years ago because I knew I would need some white plates of various sizes. The back of the plate is marked Gibson Elite bone china. I like the way this plate sets off the snowflake plate.

These melamine blue dinner plates came from HomeGoods a few years ago. They are labeled Artisan de Luxe Home. I really like the lip design on these plates, it is very different. I was lucky, these plates are a perfect match for the tablecloth and the snowflake plates.

I have a few different white chargers but this is the one I seem to use the most on my tablescapes. The beaded rim design always adds an additional bit of interest to the plate stack. This white beaded charger came from Williams Sonoma and it is called Antique Beaded. It was one of the first chargers I bought many years ago when I started tablescaping. A basic white charger is always a good purchase when you are starting a tablescaping collection.

I have had this frosted blue flatware set for several years. The flatware was made by D & D Inox in Italy. I bought it at Neiman Marcus or Bloomingdales during a major sale several years ago. There are similar frosted patterns available online now. I have a frosted red flatware set from the same company with a different stainless design.

I have several different blue napkins but none of them were the right color for this tablecloth and it took two tries on Amazon before I got the right match. I needed this color for my napkin collection anyway. I wish computer monitors were better at showing colors correctly. I found the white porcelain snowflake napkin rings on Etsy. As soon as I saw them several years ago I knew they would be perfect for a snowflake winter tablescape.

I was googling snowflake place card holder several years ago and these blue snowflake ones popped up from Christmas Central online. I can’t believe how perfect they are for this tablescape, it was just meant to be!

I have very very tall white goblets but I had been looking for shorter ones for a long time. I finally found these white goblets at Walmart several years ago. They were made by Artland and the pattern is Veranda. I decided to use two goblets with this pattern at each place setting on this tablescape.

I was looking for some kind of large snowflake to use as a centerpiece and I found this foam snowflake on Etsy several years ago. I actually bought two and Hubby glued them together because I wanted it to be thicker and stand easily. I was going to have him paint it but I decided I liked the texture as it shows. It is sitting on a white wood snowflake cake stand I found on Amazon several years ago.

I wanted to add something small on each side of the centerpiece and I was looking through my Pinterest candle holder folders and suddenly found these white snowflake tea light candle holders. I had forgotten I had them. They came from Crate and Barrel several years ago.

It is always interesting how a tablescape design can start out going one direction and end up going a completely different way but I really like how this tablescape turned out.
