I was reading the December 2011 edition of Country Homes and Interiors Magazine, and I was inspired to copy from their article: "The Look We Love...Fairy tale."
And here is my version. I used mostly stuff I had around the house (I think that's the challenging part: using what you already have). I did buy the silver candles, though. I went with a blue and silver color scheme rather than white and gold because I already had the tablecloth. But I really love the ethereal look of the white on white tablecloth in the magazine.
Here are a couple of comparisons:
....and a few extra photos.
Supplies:
China: Wedgwood (Rosedale pattern)
Crystal: Lismore by Waterford
