An Icy Table Setting for Winter

Capture the heavenly hush of fresh fallen snow with a tablescape from the January/February issue of Southern Lady that’s draped in lovely layers reminiscent of winter. Once the jubilation of a new year settles, take note of the season’s quieter side for table inspiration.

Dress up a simple duo of blue and beige runners with an overlay of heirloom doilies joined together end-to-end. Then continue to wintery charm with icy-blue plates from Sugarboo Designs.

Crafted by hand, each features a freeform edge and beautiful patterns made from pressing lace into clay. For a final flicker of frosty allure, cluster a variety of glass candlesticks as an effortlessly elegant centerpiece.
