Crowns and Numbers

The crown plates arrived months ago, but I had yet to use them on the table in a fully set display. Yesterday was the day. Designed by Rae Dunn, artist extraordinaire from San Francisco, the plates combine 2 of my favorite icons–crowns & numbers.

The red numbers would pull the number theme together and give the table that red burst I was going for. The white lilies, adding height and softness. Clear glass to make it all light and airy.

I used the linen dish towels we just got in a few weeks ago that have a red stripe as placemats, along with the red striped napkins. Then I start adding ephemera with hits of red.
