I am finally coming around to share the details of our little girl back in November. But shortly after the holiday craziness started and we had been pretty sick the majority of December.

Anyways let´s start with Emilia´s baptism. It was as girly as can be. I had everything – from the cake to the flowers, the candles and the party favors in a light pink shade. I was fulfilling my wildest girl dreams and it looked amazing. You can read all about Emilia´s Baptism here.

For Helena´s baptism I wanted eucalyptus to be the main plant and color. I always start with the invitations with a color and theme I would like. But you can read more about How I plan Family Festivities here.

My MIL made the flower bouquets and to be honest these are the most beautiful I have ever seen. The really put a florists work to shame. I wanted to go big with 5 flower bouquets cause flower elevate the table decor much more than anyhting else. Of course sequins shouldn´t be missed when I am hosting so I got these pretty emerald table runner from etsy.

The hardware around like white etagérès, the cupckae stand and the golden candle holder are all from amazon and frequently used in our home.

Cake and cupcakes have been so so good. I always order them from a café called Orlando di´Lassi in Regensburg. I will never go back cause the inside tastes as good as the outside looks.

The next family party I am planing is Emilia´s birthday, but it will be a little harder this year cause I can not pick the theme I would like. We´ll see.

Neutral Thanksgiving Table Decor – black, white and cream…

….

Thanksgiving is right around the corner and although it isn´t a holiday here in Germany I like to host a dinner right after, mostly on Saturday to have a little Friendsgiving soirée. We all love the homemade American dishes and it is always a blast plus good food.

For this years table I went with a very neutral (at least for me) color concept. Black, white and beige. To be honest I always loved a great neutral table decor but I just never thought it would fit my style and tast but here we go and it turned out beautiful.

I always start with my color theme and the first thing I place is a table runner. Then I get the place mats. I wanted the table to look as natural as possible and these place mats fit the bill perfectly. I had them for years and love using them year round. The next thing to place are plates, cutlery, glassware and napkins. The black and white gingham napkins are a last minute amazon order and look so cute with golden napkin rings.

I follow up with the center piece. This year I decided to have a bunch of candles on a wooden plate. To be honest this was a last minute idea but I was very pleased how it turned out cause the single vase with black pampas grass would have been pretty lonely. And finally the decor piece that gave me the whole idea for the color theme has been this super affordable set of little pumpkins.

Creating a table scape for different holidays is such a fun task I love so much and this is the best season cause there aren´t more holidays than now to have fun experimenting with different colors and decor.
