The Style Sisters: Sea Shell Chocolate

Elegant Tablescape Red Black and White

By The Style Sisters - Tuesday, March 06, 2012

Welcome to Centerpiece Wednesday a little early :)

I decided to create a unique Tablescape using my French Eiffel tower plates that I bought while traveling in Chicago.....I mixed them with my black and white toile plates and my new red melamine toile plates from target (1.00 each)! I played around with all kinds of centerpiece ideas and with the help of my cute mom we finally came up with this somewhat Asian flair looking centerpiece. My cute hubby came home with these beautiful orchids and I had this metal plant holder and we plopped the orchids in it and it worked perfectly.

To bring in some more red color into this tablescape we placed apples inside this airy looking dome...I love how it looks.

Here is a close up of the red melamine plates...they really look like they are made from pottery not plastic don't you think? We decided to use some white sea shells in this Tablescape and placed them on top of the red plates.....did you know you can bake in these shells? Or you could serve a shrimp cocktail in them or how abou a mini salad for an appetzier! You can purchase shells from my mom on her blog eatlotsachocolate.blogspot.com

The beautiful orchids close up!

My sister Tiffany over at thechildrensnest.blogspot.com made me these black and white toile placemats a couple of years ago for Christmas...they are perfect!

I love how black and white always works for any tablescape!

Look closely and you can see some chocolate sea shells! These are gorgeous Belgian chocolates made with a hazelnut filling.

You can purchase these from my mom's blog eatlotsachocolate.blogspot.com they are only 1.00 each .....packaged in a real seashell.

I removed the other plates so you can see the Eiffel tower ....I bought them from a cute store called Posh Chicago.

These Scrumptious and elegant Belgian sea shell chocolates melt in your mouth and your guests will be amazed at how beautiful they look on their plates!

Beachy Tablescape

Under Da Sea Part 1

By The Style Sisters - Wednesday, February 15, 2012

WELCOME TO CENTERPIECE WEDNESDAY

UNDER DA SEA PART 1

For my Centerpiece I chose to use my Ikea lantern filled with shells and a tall white candle surrounded by two other glass jars filled with sea shells and "King Triton"s Tridents" more pics of this later in the post.

The gorgeous satiny fabric that is flowing all down the center of the table is actually a $5.00 bolt of fabric from Wal-Mart! Yes indeedy cheap it the only way to go! It looks so romantic and kind of sexy don't you think?

My daughter Madeline took all the photos you see of my table. I love how all the gold forks just shine sitting in the tall glass apothecary jar filled with sea shells. Little Mermaid herself would love to sit down at this table.

My incredible chandelier was purchased at a consignment shop here in Salt Lake and it just adds that sparkle to the room. My hubby installed a dimmer switch so we can light it up or turn it down low for a more romantic feel.

I actually found these slightly green salad plates after we shot all the pics but I just had to show you my deal! I found these beauties at Tai Pan for only .99 each!! Are they not perfect or what?!

These amazing little chocolate hazelnut Belgian sea shell nuggets of goodness all wrapped up in a real sea shell are available from my mom..she is a chocolatier. Here blog is eatlotsachocolate.blogspot.com and her email is tallpines61@hotmail.com if you would like to order any all chocolates sea shells you see from this post!

Here is the table in all its splendor!

These blue dishes are also from Tai Pan but they don't have many left...I wish I could find dinner plates in the pattern and color! Notice the sea horse chocolates sitting in its own shell...they make such a nice gift for your guests.

More of these delectable chocolates sitting ready for me to eat! Actually I have already eaten a few ha ha!

You will notice I used silver charges, silver candle sticks, mixed with King Triton's gold Tridents and a gold chandelier but it all works beautifully. I love my white napkin rings and I wish I had more to sell but they are no longer making them :(

Lusciousness with the use of that fabric

Madeline came up with this idea of putting all the gold forks in the jar. I leave this on my buffet most of the time..it is so fun. By the way....those gold forks are from Big Lots..ha ha years ago!
