"I went with a supersimple, inexpensive, nature-inspired tablescape," says Houzz user editedinteriors. "It is basically white, silver and blue with some natural color coming from the magnolia leaves, pinecones and burlap. I picked up the two white bird ornaments at a local florist. As it happened, a guest brought everyone chocolates in blue and white boxes — perfect fit for the table!"
