Just For Fun { A Vintage Table Top Design Idea }

Disclosure: Products presented in this article were provided to complimentary from the associated business.


Today I thought we would do something a little bit different and fun. As you can imagine, having tons of linens at your disposal everyday can be quite tempting. The creative side of me just can't wait to come into the office and enjoy combining colors, textures and designs to see what I can come up with. My mind is constantly in "event" mode and I can be inspired with a design idea from just about anything during my day to day life. This week I was inspired by a key shaped bottle opener from Little Things Favors and I thought that it might be fun to put together a vintage inspired table top design using the bottle opener as my muse.

Vintage Skeleton Key, Little Things Favors
The bottle opener was cute and nicely packaged, perfect for a fun party favor. However, what good is a bottle opener without something to open? So, for that reason I decided to incorporate a vintage beverage bottle right into our tabletop decor. It can serve as both a decoration and a fun beverage favor that the guests can enjoy right at their seat.



I decided to play off the colors of the bottle, bringing in coppers, reds, blues and whites into the mix for my linens. Probably colors you wouldn't normally think to see together, but actually it works and I quite like it. To help play off the vintage theme I also incorporated vintage car salt and pepper shakers and a mason jar filled with baby's breath. Simple, yet fun.



Like this fun, vintage themed party? Here is what I used to style it:

Linens
 - Copper taffeta table linen
 - Light turquoise blue pintuck runner
 - Red poly napkin
 - Copper chiavari chair with red sash

Table Top Decor
 - Vintage skeleton key bottle opener
 - Mason jar with baby's breath
 - 6 pack of vintage Coke bottles
 - Vintage car salt & pepper shakers
 - black square charger

I hope you enjoyed our fun little table top style today. Is there a certain style you would like to see me design? Let me know in the comments!
