Thanksgiving Tablescapes with Soirée Floral – Part 2

November 13, 2014

Last week we shared Look One – a table design with goldenrod and pops of green.

Today we’re revealing Look Two of our four part series on Thanksgiving table designs!

This look features the same base elements – plates, taper holders and vases paired with different flowers, candles and linens. We wanted to challenge our design brains by keeping some of the same elements throughout each tablescape and just swapping out a few things; in this case color was the main swap! This design in centered around shades of plum and eggplant, brassy-golds, vibrant golds and pops of green. Look One featured two options for a little something at each guest’s placesetting and for this look we snuck in a few sprigs of dried lavender – fragrant and thoughtful. This look evokes a different mood than Look One, it’s more “moody” in the way of the table linens and the calla lilies added a formal touch to the whole design.

Fall-inspired Recipe by Soirée Floral – A Prosciutto, Pear, Fig and Goat Cheese Flatbread

November 11, 2014

You’re in for a treat this week – this flatbread is decadent!

It’s a perfect recipe for a dinner for two or make a few more and serve it as an appetizer!

We adapted this recipe from Pinterest to suit our tastes…

Start off by preparing the ingredients – sliced pears, some organic arugula,

your favorite goat cheese, sliced prosciutto (torn into pieces),

and of course the “sauce” – Dalmatia Fig Spread!

Sauteé your sliced pears in 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar for about 3 – 5 minutes and set aside.

Spread approximately 2 tablespoons of fig spread onto your flatbread (we used Naan) and arrange your ingredients. Side note: if you’re serving this as an appetizer, disperse your ingredients evenly so it’s easy to cut and won’t fall apart when guests take a bite.

Once you’ve arrange the ingredients, pop it in the oven for about 8-10 minutes… and voila!

We’ve included a recipe card – pin it, print it out, save it! We hope you enjoy this yummy recipe!

Thanksgiving Tablescapes with Soirée Floral – Part 1

November 6, 2014

The holidays are upon us! (Can you believe it?!?)

We’ve had so much fun the past few weeks prepping for Thanksgiving – we can’t wait to share it all!

In the coming weeks leading up to the big feast we’ll be sharing four (yep, you read it right!)

different looks for designing your tablescape. First up, Look One!

This table design is anchored by shades of goldenrod and brassy golds.

We balanced the mix of metallics with a hint of green, earthy brown-tones and matte accents.

Have fun with your table – hosting Thanksgiving doesn’t have to mean “stuffy” or traditional.

We love mixing and matching different styles of dinnerware and layering the heights of the candlelight; this adds intimacy to the tablescape and makes it feel warm and inviting.
