Now that is creative & thinking OUT OF THE BOX! I got rid of my small, round table with the glass top, years ago, GO FIGURE!!!

That is AWESOME! Would've worked great for my wedding. Geez why couldn't I be creative and think of a such a thing.

I have some small tables... I may have to try this. I'm hosting an early Christmas dinner next Sunday. This could be the dessert table.

Wow, that is so pretty! What a great idea!

Sheesharee, we had the same thought. I'm hosting a dinner for some of my family the week of Christmas and was thinking of trying this for the dessert table. I was planning to do my Flake Off table for that dinner, so this idea would go along perfectly with it.

Luvs, I love that floating table idea. I saved it to try. Sheesharee & Dreamgoddess, I think it would be great for a dessert table.

Did you see the rest of her pictures... beautiful table and PINK tree!!!
Thanks for the link Luvs

Here is a link that might be useful: more photos

I have seen this picture and love it. If any of you try this you have to promise to post pics!!

Bright, I spent quite allot of time yesterday looking at her past posts. I like the way she uses that cute little mirror and decorates it differently for each holiday. On the page you posted, there are little angels and feathers on it, then for Fall, she did it with a leaf border. Says she keeps it on her coffee table and just changes it out for the seasons.

I love that the bloggers are doing Tablescape Tuesday, I love looking to see what each of them have created. Fun, fun, fun. ;o)

I still use a round table in my guest room, doesn't have a glass top though. I really want to use this idea sometime too, it is such a pretty and dramatic accent the way she did it.

Luvs

That is absolutely stunning - such a clever simple idea and yet so beautiful. I have that table under my handmade ornament tree but covered the glass and everything with a drape. You can bet I will do that next year maybe with my angel tree since I will be redoing that tree also. Oh this place is so bad - not even to Christmas yet and I am planning next year trees - lol ......

I do not think you need a small table or a round one. Try floating a glass piece in the middle of a table. Great table and idea. Thanks for sharin.

oh I agree twomonths - there are so many ways you can use that idea - it doesn't have to be round either - a rectangle would work - oh the gears are turning .....

I can see myself using this for a backyard party next summer. I have an old round glass patio table that I cut down (shortened the legs) to make a sort of outdoor coffee table. For reasons to stupid to repeat here, I ended up with TWO glass inserts. I think I see an outdoor hors d'oeuvres table in my future.
Luvs, thanks so much for bringing this to our attention.

The above is full of mistakes. Sorry. I clicked the Submit Button after I fixed them.

Not a problem OA, you would laugh at how many times I reword one of my posts because I'm not sure how to spell a certain word--or how many times I click on submit before I remember to proof read it. LOL

I think doing this out on the patio would be really pretty too, would really add to the ambiance.

Luvs

Luvs, I'm so glad you posted this link! I keep going back looking at it. I'm hosting a dinner party the week after Christmas and I'm planning to use this for my dessert table. I ordered the glass today to fit the table...I can't wait to get it all put together!

Wow! This table is gorgeous! Great idea and thanks for sharing!

Hey, Dream, you know we will want to see your's too, so don't forget us, okay? Luvs

I have a stupid question I hope someone can answer. Where does one go about getting a glass table top? I have a skirted table without one.

Luvs, my party has been moved up to next Monday instead of the week after Christmas. I picked up the glass yesterday and have to try to find some lights with white wire this weekend. Our Walmart was out of the white wire lights when I went in today at lunch. Hopefully I can find some in Mobile this weekend. I'll be sure to take lots of photos to share!

mamarazzi, I called a local glass shop and gave them the measurements of the top of the table. They had my glass cut the next day.

mamarazzi,

If you have those standard "decorator's" round night stand/end table size I bet you can find the glass for them at Walmart. I usually see it in a bin next to the 'decorators' tables and the round table cloths that go on them.

Other wise, check with a glass or mirror company.

Dreamgoddess and Melvalena, thank you both so much for your help. I will try Walmart first and if I have no luck will move on to a glass company.

Dream, don't forget that you could probably use a strand of the dangly lights used for outside. You might already have some of those on hand and they have white cords. Good luck with your party, I just know they will be impressed with this table idea. Luvs

I think the icicle lights would work well with this and I think I see tulle over the lights.
I have one of those tables and I'm going to do this next year also. Thanks so much for posting this.
How do you supposed they lifted the glass up to place the lights under it? I was thinking clear shot glasses.

Aunteyp, the original blogger said she raised it with small glasses. If you go to the blog linked, you can read all her detailed description. Luvs

My dinner party is tomorrow night and I have my table all set up ready for the desserts. I love it!!! I think it's really pretty. I used votive cups to raise the glass.

The only thing I want to change before tomorrow night is to go and buy more tulle to cover the lights. I bought 3 yards and in my opinion, it isn't enough. I can clearly see the votive cups and the wire on the lights. I'll probably get several more yards to put over the lights to try and disguise them just a bit more.

I hope to have lots of photos to share by Tuesday. I'm doing my Flake Off table tomorrow night also, so I'll have those photos to share too.

I've been thinking about this and wondering if using 2 layers of glass would be workable.

sandwich a gauzy (but not too sheer) table skirt between them. you'd be less likely to see the supports for the table glass or the lights.

I'm going to try this soon.

I Can't wait to see all the pictures Dream. Your settings are always lovely.
Melvalena make sure you take photos also.

Looking fwd to your pics Dream!
I did a table for Tablescape Tues...so I will have some pics too...

Here are photos from my dinner last night. I did go back and buy more tulle for the table. I was really pleased with how it looked after adding more.

Dreamgoddess, it turned out lovely. You said you used votive cups to support it, right? And only one strand of lights with the white cord? Six yards of tulle? So tell us what kind of comments you got from your guests about it? Hope they all thought it was gorgeous. Luvs

Luvs, I did use the votive cups and white wire lights. I think I have about 6-8 cups holding up the glass. I actually have about 8 yards of tulle under the glass. I started out with 3 yards, but I could see the wire and I didn't like the look of it. I added 5 more yards and that worked much better.

My family loved the idea! I got so many compliments on it and I'm sure they'll probably use the idea themselves in the future.

It looks just wonderful!!

Did people go ohhhhh and ahhhhh a lot?
