Color Inspiration: Pink and Linen

Gather some hot pink-hued carnations and create a refreshing linen table setting! (expert advice)

For this cozy table, we were inspired by kraft paper, linen, and some pink-hued carnations. We started with a white linen table cloth and another layer of natural colored linen as a runner. Next, we added plain white dishes, floral napkins and vintage silverware. We tied up the silverware with a lavender ribbon and added a homemade kraft paper tag. For the tags, we cut out squares of kraft paper with scalloped scissors and wrote each guests initial with a white pen.

We used the same method for the bunting overhead. After cutting out the squares, we secured them onto a piece of twine by folding over each piece and placing a piece of double sided tape in between the two flaps.

The table is finished off with mix and match, cream colored containers which we filled with two bunches of miniature carnations (costing just $10!). Be sure to cut the stems of the flowers short and remove some of the buds. This will help you create a full, lush arrangement. We suggest you pair the table with dark wood chairs.
