All things pretty in pink have burst into the limelight with renewed moxie this year. Bubble gum, rose, magenta, and more inspire this roundup of entertaining ideas on point for get-togethers during the season’s final hurrah.
Mottahedeh’s Pink Lace dinner plate (top) and Ginori’s Vide Poche Oro Di Doccia dessert plate in magenta (bottom) are perfect jumping-off points for chic table settings. Accents like cheetah-print napkins, bright woven place mats, orchid napkin rings, and colorful flatware bolster the charm factor.
Sherbet-hued roses and ranunculus mingle with Barbie pink peonies in this cheery centerpiece. Rattan accessories and dashes of citrus further the allure of a tablescape ready to welcome friends for a laid-back affair.
A brass vessel anchors a profusion of showy gerbera daisies, fuchsia carnations, and tangerine ranunculus, interspersed with fern fronds, for a bouquet that captures the spirit of the tropics.
Accentuate the botanical motif of Wedgwood’s Charnwood luncheon plate with a curvaceous dinner dish and a ruffled straw place mat. Pink-and-white linens, tinted glassware, and fresh posies complete the look.
Citrus notes play up lipstick-hued florals in a bouquet as refreshing as a cool sip of water in summertime. Begin with two clear vases of the same height, one slightly larger in diameter. Place the smaller vessel inside the main one and use a bamboo skewer to slide lime slices in the space between. In the inner container, fashion a base of water-soaked floral foam, hydrangeas, and green kumquat branches. Fill in with vibrant carnations, anemones, ranunculus, and snapdragons.
Radiant calla lilies star in a duo of sunset-toned arrangements nestled in wicker and beaded containers atop a basket weave tray. A muted blue-gray tablecloth and understated dishware temper the prismatic splendor.
