Jolie Inspiration: Tante Lucile's Birthday Tulips

Inspired by the elegant tulips she brought to her 89th birthday celebration this weekend, I set a festive luncheon table in honor of my husband's (French) Aunt Lucile. It seemed only fitting to use vintage pieces such as the Gorham Silver Chantilly pattern, the Franciscan Rose plates, and the silver pitcher for the tulips. I was inspired by the early spring outside and put together every flowery thing I could put my hands on!

custom tablecloth set with colors of spring

inspired by the early spring birthday tulips

from Chris's Aunt Lucile

along with vintage pieces, I mixed in deep pink bowls

and shot glasses from Anthropologie

and bread plates by Phillipe DesHoulieres for Limoges;

the goblets are a French Country pattern from Mikasa

addendum:

It was just pointed out to me that my tablecloth/tulips are

eerily similar to Pottery Barn's Spring Sparrow linens

below...I guess so! I never saw these

before designing Aunt Lucile's Birthday Tulips table!

Great minds, etc etc!
