Inspiration for this table came in the way of a piece of fabric I bought back in the summer. Black/pink/green/red. I ran with the green and pink!
The base of the setting is a black woven charger to which I have added Bordallo Pinheiro cabbage leaf plates in green and pink.
The sterling flatware is Oneida Afterglow, circa 1956.
The stemware is a pink water/tea glass and a green etched wine glass.
The centerpiece is just a small tree in a black garden urn.

Fantastic tablescape as always. After 18-20" of snow in last two storms, nice to have something so beautiful to look at. bbb
Love the pink and green together!....ummm, I noticed you didn't hem your napkins....just pinked the edges....that's cheating!!!
love you,

Oh so pretty - love the shape of the dishes. The table is just lovely, and everything goes so well together.
Oh I love the unexpected colors and pattern Marigene! It still feels Christmasy to me!

The pinks and greens together are a nice change for Christmastime. Love the colors/brightness of the tablecloth, too. A great change-up for the holidays.

What a wonderfully festive table this is!! I love the colors and how you put it all together!! Beautiful glasses too. Just great!
I love this tablescape. The dishes are so neat, and I love the idea of basing this on a fabric you love. If those green glasses go missing, you needn't look far! ;-)

This is gorgeous Marigene! I love the colors and the plates are fabulous!
You know I love Pink so this table is perfect in my eyes! Love that fabric and the plate stack is so pretty!
Oh Marigene, I love that fabric choice. The pattern is so striking on the black background. Your Christmas tree centerpiece looks so pretty. xo
This is gorgeous, love all the non-traditional colors! Great job!
Merry Christmas!

I love prints with a black background, so your fabric choice is speaking to me. LOVE Bordallo Pinheiro cabbage plates, too. The pink and green look so good together very colorful and festive. Marigene, wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas.
Yep! You did it!!! Isn't it fun getting inspiration from a single element that ends up growing as big as the ocean is deep? Your inspiration really took off to new heights! You've given ME the inspiration to try a tree next year that includes my favorite color pink. You did a great job with bringing new life to your Christmas decorating!
Merry Christmas! Enjoy your fabulous tree!!! (Love it in that urn!!!)
Nice colours!
The green dishes, the flatware, the green stemware - just beautiful.
Beautiful Marigene! I love your pink and green BP stack of dishes. Their petal edges are perfect with your fabric runner! Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas!
Marigene - I absolutely love everything about this post. I am crazy about fabrics that have a black background, since the black makes all of the other colors "pop". It is so much fun to see how you used those other colors in your plate stack and I adore your vintage stemware (swoon!). Home run! Hope you have very Merry Christmas!!
I adore your color choice! The tree for the centerpiece is wonderful. Isn't it fun to get inspiration from something like a beautiful piece of fabric or a linen? Even the urn the tree is potted in is perfect. I think using the nontraditional colors just adds some more fun to decorating!
I love it!! I love the cabbage plates and I love the pink and green. You really do not have to use traditional Christmas colors to have a holly, jolly Christmas tablescape. Great job!!!
Love your fabric....it says Christmas to me! I love that you used the pink & green colors too! Very pretty. I find its nice to think outside of the box.
Thanks for stopping by! I am feeling better today. I am grateful that we will be on our own for Christmas since I don't feel well. If everything doesn't get done it will be ok.
Have a great Christmas!
Wonderful table scape. It seems very festive and looks like Christmas even without the traditional colors. Those green goblets are a wonderful pop of green to blend in with the dishes.
What fun Marigene, I absolutely LOVE using pink at Christmas!! Very pretty and festive!

I love how you've used black/red/green for your holiday tables, making the traditional look fresh and new. Your dishes here are terrific.
Thank you so much for stopping by my blog! Your table is very beautifully put together, I love the green and pink plates, and how everything picks up from the tablecloth.
Merry Christmas, Jannet
I'm loving the non-traditional colors this year myself. Beautiful table here, and so inspiring!
Love the colors. Nice to see something besides the traditional red and green. Also, love the tree centerpiece. Holiday Wishes to you and your family. - Sue Z.
Why have I never thought to use my Bordallo Pinheiro cabbage leaf plates for the GREEN at Christmas?? Duh?? I always think of them in the spring. Not any more...this table looks spectacular with the unique color combinations. Very festive!
I especially liked seeing the sterling flatware, Oneida's
"Afterglow"...BEAUTIFUL!!!
Merry CHRISTmas to you & yours, Marigene!
fondly,
Rett
Beautiful...love it all, especially that centerpiece.
Beautiful, Marigene! What an untraditional take on a Christmas scape. The dark background of the fabric makes those Bordallo plate colors just pop. I love those green wine stems. Wishing you a wonderful Christmas and new year. laurie
I love how you pick up the pink and green of the floral fabric with your table settings. I think we all enjoy having something a little unexpected every once in awhile…nice job.
Marigene,
Oh~h~h. . .the fabric is so regal, dear friend!!! I adore the color palette of this tablescape!!!
Perfect for a Ladies Luncheon or Tea!!!
Fondly,
Pat

Marigene, your table of greens and pinks is lovely. It's a softer side of Christmas colors. '-)
How much fun to have such variety in the Bordallo Pinheiro cabbage leaf plates. Mine are all green.
Thanks for sharing and Merry Christmas! ~ Sarah

Merry Christmas, Marigene. I hope you and your family have a wonderful day.
Love the new take on Christmas colors! This reminds me of my uber talented friend, Cindy's tables capes. I'll want to make sure that she sees this. The black adds a touch of sophistication to an otherwise whimsical design. Thanks for inviting us for a peek, and Merry Christmas! Cherry Kay
