A Shabby Chic Setting

Things are still in transition at my house from Christmas.  I've been trying to change a few things, and in the process, I am at a standstill, not really sure what I want to do.  So I thought today I would show you a fabulous shabby-chic table from my friends at Bellenza.  Bellenza is an exciting site--chocked full of unique and fabulous wedding and bridal shower ideas.  If you are planning a wedding or a shower, you must visit, although their beautiful tables could be used for any occasion.  For example, the table you will see below would be perfect for a romantic dinner or even a special birthday celebration!

The designers at Bellenza recommend a soft color palette when going for the shabby chic look with pastel-painted wooden "distressed" furnishings, and feminine, frilly accents, such as these fringed napkins.

The soft colors of ivory, white and pink are accented with ruffled ribbon and flower petals.

Clear glass plates set atop pink organza circles add a very vintage touch.  Add in elegant silver cutlery, jewel-trimmed favors, and pearl-ringed candle trays for added accents.

Lace-trimmed luminaries set on mirrored candle rings really give this table a romantic glow!  For directions on how to make these beautiful luminaries, click here.  So easy I think I might just give it a try!
Bellenza has great ideas for party favors, such as the mini purses above, which could be filled with potpourri, Jordan almonds, or hand soap.

For more great tips on setting a shabby chic table and to see more of this beautiful tablescape, visit Bellenza!  You'll be glad you did!!
