The MET Gala happened last week and of course it was a fashion blitz and a media extravaganza. Everyone who's anyone pontificated on all that went down on the red carpet! What caught my attention though was the interior decor and the TABLESCAPES :)
This year's gala celebrated the work of designer Rei Kawakubo. I liked that the decor was graphic yet very elegant. That gorgeous blue & white china was THE perfect complement to the popping pinks & reds. Also, the sake cups were a nice touch.
I thought it' be fun to pull together a tablescape inspired by the gala, but one that's easier on the purse strings. Have a look at the pictures and then check out my take on it below!
My take on it - a little classic, a little modern & a lotta fun:
1 The china at the gala instantly reminded me of these blue & white appetizer plates.
2,3 Pair them with gold & white chargers & dinner plates and you have a winner. Can't go wrong with the classic blue, white & gold!
4,11 A red table runner & fuchsia pink napkins ($10 for 6!) bring in that pop of color. You could pair the runner with these placemats which make for a nice neutral base for the setting. Or you could totally just go with a red tablecloth if you REALLY want to bold it up!
5,8 These gold hammered napkin rings (love these from Target) & sparkly confetti flutes, are perfect for bringing in hints of gold.
6,9 Fresh flowers would obviously be amazing, but these faux roses and candle ring centerpieces get the job done :)
7 And my absolute favorite - marbled candles! I also found these tapered candles on Etsy which actually work better as a centerpiece, but I prefer the color of the former.
10 And finally this navy blue planter, taking inspiration from the black sake cups & gorgeous navy blue & gold flatware at the gala. (love this Cutipol Goa flatware. the price tag is a bit insane but they are real cool).
