Tablescaping for the Academy Awards

Dining at The Academy Awards
Are you a movie lover? Do you faithfully watch The Academy Awards every year? Wait until you see the wonderful, creative tablescape my friend, Bonnie, created recently for Oscar night!

Bonnie told me for this dinner party, the girls wore jeans and BIG sparkly earrings and the guys wore tuxedo T-shirts.  The menu was pizza, salad and champagne. What a fun night that must have been!

Bonnie set the mood for the night with this fun vignette...


Lots of glitz and glamour...after all, it was a night at the Oscars!


Star chargers coordinate beautifully with the star napkin holders...


I love these plates from Pottery Barn!


Bonnie said they came packed in a film can...don't you love it? :-)


Beautiful flatware...and a starry, starry tablecloth!


Bonnie told me that each plate has the movie name, date it was released and a line from the movie on the back. For example, this plate says: Casablanca, 1942, "Of all the gin joints in all the towns, in all the world, she walks into mine."




Of course, every Academy Awards table must have one of these guys!


Bonnie, thank-you so much for sharing this wonderful and creative tablescape! It is definitely one of my faves!
