Tablescaping for the Academy Awards

Dining at The Academy Awards
Are you a movie lover? Do you faithfully watch The Academy Awards every year? Wait until you see the wonderful, creative tablescape my friend, Bonnie, created recently for Oscar night!

Bonnie told me for this dinner party, the girls wore jeans and BIG sparkly earrings and the guys wore tuxedo T-shirts.  The menu was pizza, salad and champagne. What a fun night that must have been!

Bonnie set the mood for the night with this fun vignette…

Lots of glitz and glamour…after all, it was a night at the Oscars!

Star chargers coordinate beautifully with the star napkin holders…

I love these plates from Pottery Barn!

Bonnie said they came packed in a film can…don’t you love it? 🙂

Beautiful flatware…and a starry, starry tablecloth!

Bonnie told me that each plate has the movie name, date it was released and a line from the movie on the back. For example, this plate says: Casablanca, 1942, “Of all the gin joints in all the towns, in all the world, she walks into mine.”

Of course, every Academy Awards table must have one of these guys!

Bonnie, thank-you so much for sharing this wonderful and creative tablescape! It is definitely one of my faves!

    Wow, she must be on the prowl for items all the time. My brain is now thinking about how she can use the star theme in more settings.

  30. I have those Pottery Barn film plates and my love for life thinks they are not-so-great. Another guy I dated, with whom I owned a house that included a media room, thought the plates were "hideous." Sigh. I might as well put them up on Craigslist or Ebay. They are never going up on the wall.

  31. Hey Gina………any interest in getting rid of them? I'd love to buy them from you. Searched pottery barn and couldn't find them there. discontinued, maybe?
    My DIL is an aspiring actress and would be so excited if I surprised her with a dinner set with these dishes!! If you're interested, come by my blog and lemme know, k?
    Thanky ma'am!!

  32. Isn't she amazing? Of course with that DISH ROOM, she has plenty of things to be creative with:):) I am so happy she is so willing to share her talents with all of us! NowI will go over to the give away blog to leave a comment so I ahve a chance at the prize:):) XO, Pinky

  33. Beautiful! Very creative! I couldn't believe you had a Oscar statue, too!
