Ribbon-Belt Place Card

Top-Notch Refreshments

mwd104504_spr09_drink3.jpg
View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

Serve the ultimate country-club libation: gimlets. Swap out vodka and Rose's lime juice for cucumber gin, fresh lime, and simple syrup tinged with mint, and serve them with tea sandwiches -- sans crust. That picnic perennial, gingham, looks just as crisp indoors as out, and polka dots in a similar shade pack a coordinating graphic punch. "Pearls" paper napkin from Caspari [casparionline.com].

Teacups

mwd104686_spr09_threecups.jpg

Register for single teacups in many different coordinating motifs that you can mix and match -- it makes for a whimsical and eclectic table.

Green and White China

mwd104684_spr09_greenplate.jpg

When you choose a single color to anchor your table, you can blend different china patterns, as we did here. The natural motifs make these designs even more interchangeable. The bamboo lattice pattern calls to mind afternoons lazing on the patio furniture, and the abstract leaves are softened by the organic lines of the vines they grow on. A touch of formality comes from the gold-edged and fluted rims of overlapping scales. "Fish Scale Green" by Herend from Bergdorf Goodman [bergdorfgoodman.com]. "Gardner Street Green," by Kate Spade for Lenox [katespade.com]. "Bamboo Casual," by Monique Lhuillier for Royal Doulton [royaldoulton.com].

Dragonfly Bouquet

mwd104504_spr09_bouquet1.jpg

Stems of the feathery, crepe-like blooms add tons of texture to this green-and-white delight. Bunched together en masse and tied together with a crisp, multihued striped ribbon, the vibrant bouquet is more like a portable garden -- cheerfully, blissfully uplifting. A sleek white dragonfly (we painted it white) perches atop verdant masses of green and white, giving this bouquet a fresh, summer-day feel. Dragonfly from Floraltrims. Two-inch cotton-striped ribbon (#2101, color #277) from Hyman Hendler and Sons, 212-840-8393.

Bid adieu to your guests with these snappy favor boxes. Make each box with a tag bearing your and your husband's initials, then slip it under a fancy knot -- like those often employed in sailing -- made from a length of cotton rope. Arc box from Parapluie Designs. White cotton rope from Pacific Trimmings, 212-279-9310. French almonds from Koppers Chocolate. We've got some great spring clip-art to download to make these favors including the horseshoes, a dragonfly, a butterfly and a four-leaf clover.

Tea Sandwiches

mwd104504_spr09_sandwiches1.jpg

Make a graphic impression with a selection of geometric tea sandwiches. Spread cream cheese onto bread, and layer on thin slices or strips of cucumber (the key is to leave the colorful peel on), then cut into shapes. Blanched asparagus, sandwiched and sliced, presents an equally striking -- and tasty -- option.
