Please join our hostess, Susan, for more beautiful and unique tablescapes at Between Naps on the porch.
Today, I've set this outdoor table with fushia and green. Odd color choices, I know. It is not even close to anything I had envisioned in my head. I took my cue from the centerpiece. This green pot is planted with this beautiful geranium. You wouldn't believe how hard it was to match these plates. The fushia and purple are unique colors and nothing I had came close to matching or complimenting. 
I bought these melamine plates and bowls at Target for a cool $1.99 each. I bought them for Katie's college apartment. I felt so inspired by them. But once I got the silver charger and the bling napkin rings out, I hit a dead end. What now. Nothing I had went with them. All the colors I had were wrong. I then spied my green pot with the geranium.
Perfect. I already had the green napkins, so I was good there. I didn't have any kind of tablecloth or placemats to go on the table. I popped over to Joanne's and found this fabric for $2.00 a yard in the clearance bin. Bingo! I bought 1 5/8 yards for a square. It fit perfect on the table. 
I added the green votive holders to the table, but they seemed kinda lost on there, so I put them on top of my crystal candlestick holders. 
I used my etched glasses from Anthropology to finish the setting. I then sprinkled the table with green rose petals (bought in a box at Michaels, years ago).Thanks for visiting, I hope you enjoyed the table.

Janie...I think pink and green in any shape or form is wonderful... and I love the drama of the deep fushia. Every detail is superb. Your centerpiece I'm in love with, the plates are yummy, right down to the pedals on the table...Great job. Etched glasses...I need those! xoxo~Kathy~ @ Sweet Up-North Mornings...
Oh I really love this deep rose table with the green! Just gorgeous!!
Janie, your table is so attractive and unique. You don't see fushcia that often on a table and it is perfect with the green. Great job!
Thanks for visiting me! I don't think that's an odd combination of colors at all! Everything fits together so well and is so elegant. I would love to sit down to eat at your fuschia and green table!
With your table and the view from your patio, you have a winner!
I have an award for you over on my blog.
Oh I just love all your colors and the glassware and the centerpiece, Janie. What's not to like on this lovely table? Goregous!...Christine
Your colors are gorgeous, Janie! Pinks and greens are my favorite colors. I love your plates, centerpiece, the setting outside...it's just beautiful and just calls to you to come and enjoy! I wish I was there!
Janie, I think your table is stunning. Such wonderful colors! You did a great job coordinating the table with the centerpiece, and I really, really like those plates. WOW on the price, too! It has a very designer look because of the unique colors. Love it! Good job...
Happy Tablescape Thursday!
XO,

I love these colors together!--very Lily Pulitzer! Those glasses are just beautiful and I love the scattered green rose petals! Lovely!
Hi Janie! I love the fusha and green! They really play well together, so festive and very dramatic! Your tablescape turned out stunning! Those etched glasses are beautiful! I love your potted geraniums. The pot itself is fabulous!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful and dynamic table!

OMG! Janie, this is my absolute favorite table you've ever done! It's perfect. So French. So Fresh. The geranium is really pretty too. Fifi needs to paint this one.

Great colour choices! Those plates are lovely but I can see what you mean about trying to match them. You were smart to think outside the box. Love the votive holders placed on the candlesticks!

I love this color combination! Beautiful table, Janie!
I think you did a great job of pulling it all together. Love that geranium.
Janie, I love the fushia and green together!!! You did good! Fushia pink is about the only pink I like! The Anthro glasses are very pretty!
WOW! I love the colors. It very "garden party".
I love the glasses from Anthropology. I need to stay out of that store as I spend way to much $$$ there on clothing and table finds. I scrolled back to see the wedding photos and what a lovely couple and Mother of the Bride or should I say new MIL:) I had no idea you were coming to Charleston and Savannah as I right in the middle here on Hilton Head in my summer beach house. If you come this way again let me know.

This is absolutely gorgeous! I LOVE those colors together! So fun the way it all came together for you, thanks for the details! The voltives on top of the candlestick looks great!
I enjoyed seeing all of this!

WOW, I agree Janie, your tablescape is gorgeous and I love all your photos and treasures but the first photo should be on the front cover of a magazine. your garden is so gorgeous too. happy summer days, Kathy.
I love it! One of my favorite summer color combos! Great table, Janie!
Thanks for visiting my little blog!
Hi Janie,
Love the color choices. For not having a vision ahead of time you sure pulled off a lovely, lovely table. I love these colors together and they look so pretty with your gorgeous yard in the background. Those melamine dishes are fun, did you get them this year? I am having a spa day for some friends and these would be great for around the pool.
Thanks for sharing and enjoy your day.

What a gorgeous geranium! I have never seen one like this. Please share the name...Your table is lovely!
Thank you for your kind comments. The blood lily is quite unusual...started from one bulb from my uncle. There is no evidence of the plant in the ground until the stem with the bud emerges. While blooming, the leaves finally shoot up. These remain for months...then disappear for the cycle to start all over again. This year I have 20+ blooms!!!
Oh Janie, I love these colors! I'd say it's rather fetching! Bright and colorful and elegant. You know how to set a table with style!

Your table is very pretty and I love the color combo.

love,love ,love this table. Anything pink and green and I am so there. All you need is some pink lemonade and have the girlfriends over to chat and it would be the perfect day :)
This is gorgeous!! Love the colors! I used to live right outside of OC- went to church in Lake Forest. Miss Cali! Thanks for stopping by my blog!
Nice job--I love the smack of color and the contrast of it with the garden.
Janie, gorgeous color combo, I love it! So bright and fresh. Wish I could have done one outside this week, maybe before the summer is over I will get there!
Really beautiful setting to eat in, enjoy!

These colors are such a great combination -- I saw these plates today at Target -- you've really made them look wonderful on your lovely table -- thanks for your visit!
I think the creativity of these colors together is great. Love that wonderful centerpiece, and your plates are so pretty. The addition of the green rose petals makes this table look so romantic! laurie
Janie, I lean toward pink and green quite often and love the boldness of the fuschia. I have been looking at those plates for awhile...I might just have to go pay more attention to them. I really like how you used the silver charger with them. Thanks for sharing!
