But this blog is about tablescaping - not Elvis. But why not combine two things I really like? So, I talked Pat into doing a table to honor Elvis. It didn't take much to convince her. I think she did a fantastic job. (She is not quite the fan I am - however, she still has Elvis' iconic "Elvis' Golden Records" album from 1958......) And don't tell anyone - she bought the Elvis dishes.
Sorry, I couldn't resist....This was Elvis' debut album that was released March 23, 1956. It was the first ever million-selling rock and roll album.

Overview of the table. Black and white - somber but beautiful.

Close up of one of the settings.
|
Black goblets with just a hint of crystal from the champagne flute to add sparkle.
|
Silver flatware is King James (from one King to another......sorry, I can't help myself.......)
|
WOW! What else can be said???
|
Square salad plate set on a diagonal works perfect with the black square dinner plate.
|
The dinner plate is from World Market (Cost Plus.)
|
This simple yet gorgeous white charger is by Bernardaud.
|
The tall crystal candleholder is from Pat's personal collection.
|
Black flowers in the black satin-finished vase look just right.
|
Pat used a black sherbet on a square bread and butter plate.
|
Black and white napkin rings around black and white napkins to carry through the theme.
|
Faux leather placemat sits on top of a white one. (Elvis would have loved the leather one.)
|
Betty is an Elvis fan, too.
