I have been watching and waiting for this Royal Wedding to be. I love fairy tales and this fits my every longing. I can't wait to see what Kate will be wearing! She is beautiful just like Diana. It all makes me want to close my eyes and dance around the living room like I am at a big fancy ball.
To have a little taste of excitement I thought we should have a Royal kind of day...
The table is set
I did some research to make sure it was set properly. We don't have the 3 sets of forks or 3 different glasses on the table... for one, I don't have enough silverware that matches, and two, these are our only fancy glasses, lol. But I did have chargers to stick under the plates!
The table cloth is made of 3 different vinyl table cloths I found at the dollar store and the flowers were cut from the garden. I just cut the red and white table clothes in strips to mimic the British flag.
Don't they look happy and in love?! This crown was given to me by a friend a long time ago. She had ordered something from Oriental Trading and they sent her this with it. I saved it thinking that one day the girls would dress as princesses for Halloween or something but noooo. I finally get to use it!
Our menu for tomorrow consists of:
Breakfast
Rutland Savoury Cheese Custard (traditionally a supper dish)
Isle of Wight Doughnuts
Lunch
cucumber sandwiches
scones
Supper
Somerset Chicken
Jacket potatoes
Green vegetables
Dessert
Eton Mess
I found most of these recipes in the cook books that Lily sent me. Thank you Lily! I haven't made any of these recipes except for the cucumber sandwiches and jacket potatoes (baked potatoes) so I am hoping for the best, lol.
It will be a knees up!!

What a great idea for the table cloth. I found it hard to find anything with a union jack for my Royal table, and the dollarstore one you made looks great. Looking forward to a royal day too!

I found myself watching all the goings-on with the royal wedding on t.v.
Wasn't planning on it, but there it was and soon I found myself feeling quite caught up in all the excitement.
Hope you have a wonderful day and that your royal plans turn out smashing :)

That's a table spread for royalty for sure, Mandie! And the menu sounds amazing!
Wow! That is SOOO awesome!!! Wish I could have joined you, lol!
What a lovely tablescape. You did a great job. I remember seeing Diana walk down the aisle, and was just as anxious to see Kate!
