rose birthday party table centerpiece

What’s the celebration? My birthday!  I had fun creating this birthday table and thought you could steal some ideas for your own parties.  Roses freshly picked from the garden garnish the cake and decorate the table!

I used vintage plates with roses for each place setting.   You can find them at local antique stores and malls, estate sales, or eBay.

Scalloped edged plates from Williams Sonoma sit below each vintage plate.  The runner is actually just a piece of fabric.

Vintage French pink goblets are perfect for this rose themed party.

The David Austin roses are so romantic – my absolute favorite!  I wrote about baking my cake here in this post – I had never baked a cake from scratch before!

When I was baking my cake I had enough to make a little mini cake. Isn’t it cute?

For those that don’t like cake, I have a few macarons too.  Actually, no, I have macarons because I like them and it was my birthday! Ha! *affiliate link* If you like the scalloped plates, they have them with both a green rimmed and a blue rimmed version!

To get this look of your own… you can make your own cake or buy a plain white store made cake.  Then pick some roses from your garden and simply place on top. Use small vases in the center of the table.  I actually use a few small lipped plates to display some of the roses as they had very short stems, as pictured below.

The roses are from David Austin – I love the look of these roses as they are old world type roses.  

What I love about my dining room is that you can dine with the doors open and hear the fountain going… that is, if you lock the indoor cat away so she doesn’t get out!

Well, the sun is setting and I’m ready to eat my cake!  It was delicious, btw.

    Oh, my sweet friend I always enjoy visiting your beautiful blog. What a lovely setting, hey I have that same runner with a red stripe ( it’s just a piece of fabric at this point too. I love, love, love the scalloped edged rose plates, and the fresh David Autin roses. They are my favorite rose. It’s a pleasure to be part of the tea and roses blog hop with you. Hugs!

    How lovely and serene! My middle name is Rose, so I love the nod. Thanks for the chance at winning the Amazon card– I think if I was the winner I’d use it for goodies for my little one’s upcoming birthday party in two weeks… this year she’s having it at a trampoline park, but check out her own tea party from two years ago: http://untoadoption.org/let-her-eat-cake-a-marie-antoinette-themed-birthday-tea/

    Oh gosh, your cake is beautiful! A big Happy Birthday to you!! Your entire table is delightful and I love the view with the door open. Nothing like the sound of running water. Love David Austin roses. Only have one in my garden, but would love more.

    How beautiful! I’m glad you specified “roses picked from the garden” as so many people put commercial roses on cakes without realizing that commercial roses are saturated in pesticides, herbicides, every kind of “-cide” known to man and shouldn’t be anywhere near food!

      To my knowledge we haven’t had to put any kind of -cide on these roses! But you are right about the commercial roses!
