I’m so excited today to be sharing a special Christmas project I’ve been planning for several months!
This year I wanted to create an extra special dessert table for a home holiday party. Something to kick off the Christmas season in style! I took my inspiration from some vintage pink pottery I’ve been collecting and then added some color accents of light blue and aqua. As a former florist, I had to include some beautiful flowers, and then some sparkle in the form of both new and vintage ornaments helped complete the design.
Please enjoy my Vintage Pastel Christmas…
Included on the table were…

Vanilla Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting
White Chocolate dipped Oreos (store bought) with custom royal icing transfers (by me)
Decorated Sugar Cookies
Handcrafted Marshmallows (by Fusion Sweets)
Assorted candies
I thoroughly enjoyed exercising my rusty floral design skills and made flower arrangements that included pink roses, pink and white mini carnations, light pink alstroemeria, and seeded eucalyptus. I also tucked in some pretty ornaments along with the flowers.

This is the most amazing I've seen lately!
This is AWESOME!!!!
Wow, this turned out so beautiful. I love the color combinations and all of the little details.
YAAAOOOW!!STUNNING!! so so so beautiful!!!!
"WOW" seems to be the #1 comment, followed closely by "stunning" and "gorgeous." I would also like to add "breathtaking." These photos are SOOO magazine-worthy; I totally expect to see your work emblazoned across a major publication at the grocery store check-out in the near future.
And whaddaya know? I was just about to make some pastel snowflake cookies, too (just got the Wilton pastel pink, green & blue sugar pearls – no dragees in my area, I'm afraid, nor friends from NZ. Lucky you!) What an inspiration your photos are to me! Thank you SO much for sharing your incredible gift with us.
*GASP* That is just simple breathtaking!
Cecilia- Thanks! I didn't end up having to glitter the ornaments… I just kept searching and found some!
As for the Hull pottery, it's there, you just have to really dig through pages and pages of listings. Hull apparently made a ton of different lines of pottery, and only a few are the same style as what I used.
This turned out so beautiful! I love the "hull" pottery! I tried to look it up on ebay but I didn't see any as pretty as yours! Did you glitter those ornaments???? Good idea!
