Under the Sea

I mentioned to you a while back that

 I had been asked by ASID to design a table 

for a charity Luncheon for KIPPS.  

The theme was "The Wonderful World of Disney".  

Since it benefits kids and education

 they usually pick a theme that will apply.

  I chose The Little Mermaid thinking that I could possibly incorporate an Ocean Theme

 and use items that I already owned. 

 Everything is at your own expense so that makes it easier.  

Besides, Ariel is Miss Beaux's all time Favorite !!!

I just decided to try and have fun with it.  

I was so lucky to have Alycia from Table Twenty-One 

 lend me the beautiful ocean blue plates

 and the little votive holders. 

I was also lucky to have my good friend Kristy help me set up and give me moral support. 

 I ordered two Little Mermaid Life Sized cutouts and put them back to back draping the fabric in-between so you wouldn't see the cardboard in the back. 

I think it makes her look like she is 

swimming in the Ocean don't you?  

 I placed the Urns from Nell Hills on boxes covered

 with white fabric and draped the "Bubbles" around them.  The Bubbles were from my very first post EVER!!! 

 You can see it here.

The plates sit atop Coral chargers from Michaels.  

The table runners and napkins were purchased at ZGallerie.  I ran into an old friend who is now the Assistant Manager there.  He moved away and is now back in KC.  It's a well kept secret that it's a great place to live. 

 People always come back!!!  

Seashells and sand in Apothecary Jars sit alongside the Urns on top of netting from Pottery Barn.  

I folded the napkins in a fan fold and placed a starfish in front to finish it off.  You can barely see the little votive cups with a battery operated tealight candle in them, but they were really cute and added a little sparkle to the table. 

 There were a few more things that I wanted to do but time and money were an issue.  Overall, I was pleased with the way that it came out. 

 More importantly I was happy that they were able to raise money for such a worthwhile cause! 

 I will post pictures of the other tables this week.

Until Next Time,

Beaux R'eves
