diner en blanc

i heard about this cool diner en blanc theme and we thought we'd give it a go for our turn at dinner club.

it was a fun night!

i liked the idea of old pictures and torn out pages from old books hanging over the table. i found as much white stuff as i could, thanks to my neighbors :) washed out some old lemonade bottles and used them as candle holders. i used old music flash cards as place cards. put white flowers and candles everywhere and it was fini!

a diner en blanc! my guests did not bring their own food tho. but it was a surprise to them. other than i asked them all to wear white. they thought it was a p diddy white theme. nope.

i made some white feather headbands for the ladies and had a few white props out for pictures. i think the men liked the big white fur coat more than the ladies.


the menu:

two garlic and thyme roasted chickens
roasted brussels sprouts
sweet potatoes with rosemary & olive oil
mesclun salad (french greens) with balsamic vinaigrette
saffron baked brown rice
french bread

and a delicious chocolate cake for dessert (courtesy of my sissy)
bon appetit!
i had fun with these silly girls!!!
