Mother/Daughter brunch!

A few weeks ago I decorated for an event at my church.  It was our annual Mother/Daughter brunch and the theme was DAUGHTERS OF THE KING.  I started with burlap, antique dishes, tea cups, crowns and pearls.  I hunted through every thrift store in the area for several weeks to find my treasures.  I had such a good time shopping and finding great one of a king pieces!  Then I went to a great antique store, owned by some long time friends, The Red Rooster.  They gave me the best deals and helped me find incredible pieces and adorable hankies!  (you should stop in there).  Here is some pictures of my table centerpieces.  I think we did a total of 45 tables (including the entry tables).  It only took about 9 hours to do, and that was just because each table had it's own unique centerpiece.  I have the best sister and friends that helped out and understand how I work.  They are so great to put up with me going behind them and changing things!  (I might be sort of a control freak). 
There are a ton of pictures, and I didn't even post one of each table!  ENJOY!
Burlap coffee bags were the center of each table!  
crowns & pearls...oh my!
I used crowns a lot since the theme was "Daughters of the King" 

Feathers!  I just couldn't help myself! 
I used these large glass jars for stacking high! 




candlesticks topped with tea cups, oh yeah!




The thing that made each table was the live flowers that I potted in the tea pots and tea cups!

This may have been one of my favorite things...printed black & white mother/daughter pics and hung them in the entry with the lights & burlap!
