Gwyneth Paltrow's Easter Lunch Table Setting

Easter is nearly here and this weekend is the perfect time to start planning your Easter lunch.  I'm going to be taking my inspiration from Gwyneth Paltrow and her table scape she created for Remodelista (PS - I have such a big crush on Gwyneth, please can we be BFFs?)  She choose a fresh take on traditional and the colour palate of robin's egg blue, lilac, pale pink and white.  There are SO MANY details I love  - the egg name tags, the potted pansies in the bowl and the long tapered candles.  I mean seriously, it is so beautiful!!! What inspiration are you picking up on for your Easter table?

Industrial Wedding Decor

Ooooooo!  Industrial wedding decor is the bomb.  It can be hard to get right but as Whimsical Creations  By Tamara shows us when you get it right boy do you get it right.  I love the use of wood and steel to create set the industrial tone.  Add onto that the peonies, babies breath and blackboard to soften the look  and voila, its a perfect industrial wedding look.

A Serving Idea for Your Next Party Thanks to Donna Hay

Oki Dokies my lovely readers.  The weekend is coming up and the weather in Sydney is looking fine.  Perhaps it's party time at your house?  Well I have a new idea for you to try.  After some serious oogling over the Donna Hay 10 Year Anniversary Magazine (she is a goddess if you don't know her already) what struck me in their dinner party feature was the clever use of glassware as serving ware.  Its unexpected but adds an oh-so-glam touch to your dinner party.  Let's explore.....

1. Glass Bowls as servers for a meringue dessert bar

2. White condiments are perfectly complimented by glass hues

3. Oversized glass bowls in clean lines make modern punch bowls
