Set Your Table With Flair--New Year's Niceties

Hello, and thank you for visiting my blog!  It's so funny as children, we can't wait to grow older; after the age 25, life becomes a blur!  I cannot believe another new year is almost here!  If you are planning an intimate New Years party, I hope you enjoy this post.


I chose to stay with the traditional colors of black and silver for this New Years Tablescape. 

I placed this black tablecloth first.

I added this floral arrangement. I chose only two colors; black and white, choosing to omit any greenery. 


I wanted the table settings to pop, so I added white placemats and silver and black chargers. 


I placed these clock plates next.  I love that these also have small elements of gold, the other traditional  New Years color.


I placed tumblers, flutes, and silver candleholders with white tapers at either side of the table next.  


Next, at each setting I placed these glass candle holders.  


I placed black napkins and my flatware in the traditional dinner style next.  


In each of the candleholders, I placed individual bottles of bubbly (sparkling cider ❤).  I love the idea of serving each person their own bottle...I found the idea via Pinterest for a wedding, but I think it would be just as fab for New Years or any special gathering!


I placed these pretty scalloped dessert servers at either side of the table,


and inside each, placed a small can of Fireglow gel fuel.  Finally, I placed these top-hat placecard holders. To view the tutorial, visit the post on my blog The Crafting Table by clicking here.

Finally, I lit the Fireglow canisters!  Voilà!
