The ladies that support the football coaches are the gems that no one thinks about! The women spend many long hours away from their husbands keeping the home fires burning.  Many of them work outside the home, take care of the kids and keep coach’s Friday night attire clean and ready to go!  Coaches are special people.  Especially coaches that are pouring into young athletes. So we want to keep their wives happy, who keep them happy!  So Sweet Flower Home hosted a Saturday morning brunch for these ladies.  While the coaches were going over film and practice, we were eating a delicious meal and learning about hospitality.

The table was set with fresh vegetables and fruit as the centerpiece of the tablescape.  It is colorful and edible after you are done with your dinner! A win win situation!  I used warm colors and multiple colored plates.  It’s hard to have enough of the same color plate so pick a color palette that you can use several colors with.  Layer the different elements on your table for a full rich look.  I tucked in some tiny little vases of fresh flowers.

We had a wonderful time with each other around the table.  We engaged in some fun questions to help the ladies get to know each other better.  Good conversation and good foo equals a wonderful gathering!

I hope you a preparing for your Thanksgiving meal!  Whether you are eating on fine china or paper plates make sure your space is cozy and welcoming for guest.  Remember the time together is the most important ingredient to a successful gathering of friends and family!

So I’d like to give a big Thank You to these women who took the time out of their schedules to come to my home!  They are such an enthusiastic and thoughtful group of women!

Have a Thankful week!
