A great big hello and welcome to all my new followers, and a huge welcome back to those of you who have been following for awhile! I always appreciate your visit!
I had tulips leftover from the Mother’s Day tablescape for my Mom last week, so I thought I’d bring you a look at those arranged in a completely different way in a casual breakfast/brunch setting.
(Click any image to enhance/enlarge it.)
I found this beautiful peach-colored full-length table linen at LinenTablecloth.com. I felt its soft color to be fresh and invigorating, yet soothing enough for a breakfast ensemble. I have also used it to dress a wedding cake table, flaring it at the bottom for a totally different look. (Click HERE to see that look.)
Peachy Keen Breakfast
I was bowled over by this 222 Fifth “Indochine” floral dinnerware from TJ Maxx. It looks great for a Spring or Summer table thanks to the capricious design in shades of orange, peach, green and blue on a stark white background. The salad-size plate is fully covered, while the dinner-size plate restricts pattern to the rim. The colors on the table are toned down by the use of a plain white hemstitch napkin.
I like to use a bread plate whenever possible, even at breakfast. If you’re like me and don’t like bread made soggy by runaway sauces or gravy, opt for something like this plain white appetizer plate from Crate & Barrel. Notice that I used a square appetizer plate to complement the shape of the other dishes on the table.
I love the squared off look of these coffee mugs! So cool!!! Plain clear glass stemware for a healthy serving of juice or water is added to the setting. If you have squared glasses (I’ve seen them around but haven’t bought any yet), go for it!!! That would be even cooler!
I used my “Royal Danish” sterling silver because the shape of the tip end mimics the scrolled pattern of the dishes.
A plain white pot from Home Goods serves up steaming hot coffee or tea in style.
Plump white bird salt & pepper shakers from Pier 1 work well with the other white elements on the table.
When in need and flat broke, improvise!!! I didn’t have a jelly server for the orange marmalade that looked good, so I fashioned one out of a white ramekin from Pier 1.
This is what I was trying to get those crazy tulips to do last week for my Mother’s Day table!!!! They look just like the ones on the salad plate! I just love when tulips open wide and flail themselves outward with total abandon, but nothing I did would coax them into it last week!!! Oh, well…better late than never!
Breakfast – at my house anyway 🙂 – is not complete without a Bellini bar!

Alycia, I do love your peacy-keen-breakfast tablescape, the colors are devine. The dishes from TJ Maxx are beautiful with the orange, peach, green and blue colors in the swirls. The peach tablecloth really makes them pop so good choices or your white accent pieces on top too. Glad you could get another tablescape with your tulips, I do love seeing them droop over the vase. Beautiful, I always love to see what you have created for the week.

Beautiful beautiful beautiful. Your tables are ALWAYS so beautiful. Love the peach color and the plates are so pretty. Your flowers just blow me away. And I need to mention that I too love a bread plate. At my luncheon last Friday there wasn’t room on the table for them… to my chagrin. Oh Alycia I was so embarrassed when they had to use the other plates the different foods came on. That will not happen again. Next time I’m using a bigger table. *smile) Why weren’t you here to help me anyway. I’m waiting for you to move next door!! I guess I just can’t expect you to fly out to all my soirees though. But it sure would be fun if you did!
Luv ya girlfriend,

This may reveal something about my organizational skills (or my memory), but I THINK I have the appetizer plates in that pattern! I think it is a very sophisticated design, and I love that you kept everything else simple so the plates could take center stage. I really love tulips whether they are standing tall or gracefully bowing. Yours are a beautiful color. And now, I have to put those bird S&P shakers on my “gotta have” list! Those are just too cute! You have also inspired me to find some good bellini recipes!

Tulips have a mind of their own, and I love the way they change from morning to night, from day to day. I even like them when they start dropping petals! Your TJ Maxx plates are very much like some I have. With all their wonderful colors, there’s a world of creativity waiting for you. If it weren’t so early, I’d join you for a bellini. Later?

Hello, Alycia! I always feel like I am sitting down with you when I read one of your posts. I just love this peach. Who knew? Somewhere, down deep in my linen armoire is a peach tablecloth. You have inspired me to dig for it. I have have never been much inspired by it. Your tulips (sigh, I LOVE them) and those pretty dishes just look gorgeous on the peach background. My baby set of silver was Royal Danish and I have always loved that pattern. Too bad no one bothered to get me the whole service, 12 would be nice. 🙂 Have a wonderful weekend. Have a bellini for me!
