Welcome!
Special occasions deserve the imagination and time that go into a well-dressed table. Tablescapes at Table Twenty-One is a teaching blog showcasing tablescapes I have personally designed to truly entertain my guests while making them feel pampered and special. Many are perfect for at-home entertaining as well as weddings, showers, rehearsal dinners, and engagement parties (I am, after all, a retired wedding designer!).
There are several ways to find just what you’re looking for:
Kick off your shoes & stay awhile!
Thank you for visiting, and I hope you enjoy!

Thank you, Ebony! I miss those days…sometimes!
We had a lot of fun, but we worked like dogs!!! The Dockhorn wedding remains as one of my all-time favorites! We got to do pretty much anything we wanted!!! They will always be in my heart, as will YOU!

Everything is simply fantastic! I am telling all my friends about your blog. I will be in touch soon. We have to break bread together very soon. You are amazing! However, I knew that years ago. Do you know we are still receiving praise about Ebonie’s wedding and reception? You go girl!

Alycia, I finally had time to browse through your blog…It is great! Thank goodness I found you for my kids’ weddings. But, mostly I’m glad I found you for ME. You are truly inspirational in many ways. Your friend, Rene

Hello Alycia: You don’t know me, however, we have a bit in common. I am from Kansas City, Missouri and I graduated from Central High School with your cousin Deidre. I have been following your Facebook page vicariously for many months, but I thought I would write to let you know how much I admire your design and style. Colin Cowie and Preston Bailey have bigger names but you are truly an inspiration to all of us who know that presentation is everything. I have a small company in Los Angeles called “I’ll See To It” and I do special events and provide services for people who know the difference between ordinary and extraordinary. Keep up the good work and I hope you don’t mind the intrusion.

Absolutely love the pink stemware. I would like some pink glasses, but first I have to find places for the red ones I just bought. My husband keeps asking when the boxes are going to be cleared out!
By: Jacqueline on September 29, 2010
at 10:26 PM
Thank you, Jacqueline! Actually, I wish I could find THIS pattern in red! Oh…and tell your husband you’re trying to be a responsible citizen and waiting for just the right time to take the boxes to the recycling bin. That’ll take care of that!

First of all, thank you for visiting my little blog and for your wonderful comments. You may have made my hubby impossible to live with. Haha! Just kidding. Lots of people think he looks like that Viggo actor. One lady in our phramacy just about passes out everytime we go in. She’s so cute and I can’t blame her. Haha! Makes me laugh just thinking about it.
Secondly, I am happy that I figured out your user friendly format. Very cool!
And finally, your tablescapes are gorgeous!! I love them ALL!
Thank you again for visiting. My husband thanks you, too. :/
Blessings,
Teri

Hi Alycia
Thank you so much for stopping by the Back Porch. You are about 3.5 hours from us, I believe. Our daughter lives out at Independence. We aren’t far from I-70. You would absolutely love visiting All About Home.
I am trying to rebuild my blog. I have had a blog for 3.5 years. It vanished about three weeks ago. I can now get back into that blog but decided to move. Almost like starting over new!
I am going to browse your beautiful site.

I just talked to my Mom, and she corrected me: It was Troy, KS where we visited. Nonetheless, Troy, MO sounds like a wonderful place to visit for shopping!!! It’s possible that my husband and I passed through there on our recent visit to Tennessee. We went through St. Louis which is along I-70, so I’m just guessing. At any rate, beautiful display! I’m sorry to hear about your blog vanishing on you, too, but glad you were able to find it again. I didn’t know that could happen! Now I’m a little freaked out! I’ll have to take some kind of precaution for back up. Thanks for the heads up. ENjoy your weekend!!!

Alycia-
Thank you for that GREAT comment, I was laughing so hard– especially about the wine stopper!!!! I was looking through your blog and you are VERY talented yourself. I can’t wait to sit down when I have more time and read more and more
I wanted to tell you that I had done a whole party with oranges, so for you to check it out. I actually wanted to leave this in email form, but I don’t see where I can email you privately! Anyway, check out the August archives of my blog and see. I saw that you did a table with oranges as well, and it was GORGEOUS!

Alycia, Alycia, Alycia!!! I have just figured out how to navigate your blog and I have spent part of the afternoon and evening checking out every single page. Believe me, nothing was uninspected! I even took my laptop into the kitchen so I could keep browsing while I cooked dinner. And now, I can’t BELIEVE that THAT Alycia is sending me such sweet comments on my postings. Wow!!!

Hello sweet girl,
Thank you so much to come and dropped by in freezing Stockholm, every now and then. I had a problem logging in your blog last week-end with my Shadow meme.
Anyhow, girl! you really rocks! My daughter and me love the colour combination and the stemware? I do adore it. My style, my likes…very romantic, girlie and so elegant. Me LIKE.
Take care and happy TS to you.

Hi, Katy, and thank you so much for stopping by! I’m glad my comment made you smile, but turnabout was only fair play because your family-style table was fantastic! I just think family- and Tuscan-style tables make dining so much more fun and the decorating possibilities are absolutely endless!!! The sight of multiple dishes and stemware and flatware and centerpiece items marching up the table…it takes my breath away just to think about it! SO…looking forward to keeping in touch as we scape away in the coming months! Have a terrific weekend, and I’ll see you next week on TT!

Hi, Denise! I just couldn’t resist! Your story was SO funny!!! I could just imagine the negotation that took place between the two of you! I don’t know how much of an age difference there is between us (hubby & I are grandparents), but I am SURE we could be friends! Thank YOU (and your husband!) for the grins on this end!

Hey! Thanks for visiting my magnolia tablescape … but don’t hop a plane to Chicago because I’m 6 hours south … just 100 miles from St. Louis … Probably closer to you than to Chicago! That’s why we have magnolia trees …

Hi, Debbie! I just re-read that and saw how I misunderstood. Duh! I need to put my thinking cap on a little tighter!!! I’m looking out the window now at my neighbor’s magnolia tree and wondering how I might dig it up and transplant it to our yard without them noticing!
Have a happy and warm weekend!

The progressive dinner looked really fun and the food sounded great. We had a family progressive dinner last Sunday and the extended family wnts to do one this Sunday. I love seeing everyone’s homes. I would love to see yours in person, wouldn’t that be fun! I am going to have to use the ribbons on the plates and chargers, that is so fun, like a present, which giving a dinner really is. We had a surprise 50th birthday party for a friend tonight at our house and it really felt like a present that we were giving. Have a great day!
By: Jacqueline on December 16, 2010

Hi! Great to hear from you!!! Progressive dinners ARE fun…I’ve always thought it a good way to see how everyone’s homes are decorated (holidays or not!) and take the pressure off of a single household. I wish my extended family would want to do this…we’d have a blast! Glad you like the idea about the ribbon on the chargers. Just another way to add a little pizzazz, a little color. I’m always trying to think up new (an cost effective!) ways to bring a little pow to the table. Have a great weekend!!!!!!
By: Alycia Nichols on December 16, 2010

Thank you for stopping by On Crooked Creek for a visit today!
YES! I have many wonderful memories of growing up in the Kansas City Area. . .East of the river for me! We left KC when I was 12 and I met the “love of my life” in High School at age 13! We’ve been together ever since.
It’s Christmas Eve, I work retail until close today, Christmas Eve Services tonight, family coming tomorrow; therefore I will come back another day to see your gorgeous blog! Again, many thanks for your kind comments!
Merry Christmas!

i was jumping a few minutes ago when I saw you name. That set me to thinking what was the correct name of your blog. I kept trying different things and VOILA`. Your comment had a no reply return address. Please send me your email. We got lots of talking to do do sweet lady. OMG! Love you girl. Ginger
You are still pumping out the elegant bling. I hope you are settled in. The blog looks beautiful.

Thank you so much for your sweet comment about my screened in sun-room that Susan featured today for her Metemorphosis Monday.
We’ve enjoyed our little room so much this summer minus the bugs and the baking sun! Plus I can go in and change it up every once in a while to suite my mood and or season!
Thanks again,

Hi my sweet Alycia! New Year’s Eve I’m going to be kind of busy, I’ll be having the family for an early dinner, which I did my last table post of 2011 on. Most of them have parties to go to…we’re going to stay home and watch some movies and I am looking forward to do so! I didn’t want to go ahead with plans without thanking you, my dear blog friend, for all the wonderful posts you have shared and for the great inspiration from them I received, therefore, I only wish for you and yours the very best of everything for the New Year 2012!

It toke me forever to do. I am not good in this either, however, you have to register first on Networked blogs. Then, I manage to find out:You have to go to your own blog where you can add friends.
I will revert later and will give you the specific answer.

Awesome table. Wedding perfect. Great use of patterned tablecloth to support the simple blue and white dishes. The peonies are the snap, crackle, and pop that make the table delicious. You’re a master! Happy days in May.

Alycia, Thanks for your lovely comment on my tablescape!! About the work light, it is a clamp light that just attaches to anything and has a plug. No wiring, or anything required except something to clamp it on to. You can turn the light in any direction to highlight whatever you want also. They have them even at Walmart in the work lighting section. Funny thing is my mom has been using them for years and I never even noticed.

How cool is that that you were on TV….probably not your first time, but I think it’s awfully, awfully cool!!! You know what I think of your incredible talent–it’s way, way, way extreme, and it’s so cool to see it recognized! Your table was beautiful. I chuckled because your host talked about people being intimidated–can you imagine if she’d seen some of your gorgeous, over-the-top tables??!!
Thank you for visiting me and your sweet, warm comments–they always mean the world to me. I even read them to my husband.
Way cool, my friend. ~Zuni

Hey there, Lynn!!! I’ve been slacking lately. I had to take a little break from blogging and the computer so that I could focus on getting Christmas stuff put away and then resting my shoulders and back. Now it looks as if my surgery won’t be until mid-March (after my Spring tablescaping classes and wedding workshop), so I’ll have lots of time after that to rest. In the meantime, though, I’m poppin’ pills to quell the pain. I’m taking Meloxicam which is very hard on the stomach. I think I may have developed an ulcer because of it. I am now down to taking it only once or twice a week. The rest of the time I have to just suffer in silence. Well, not exactly silence![?]
I’m going to get around to visiting blogs later tonight or perhaps tomorrow. I’m busy trying to get ready for another TV appearance on Monday. That kind of came out of the blue, but I really want to do it so I’m piecing it together little by little. Why couldn’t all this have come when I was a younger, healthier, more mobile woman?!??!?!?!?[?]
So glad you stopped by! I hope all is well in your camp and that the new year is being kind to you. I’ll be by to see what you’ve been up to creatively a little later. Take care![?] Alycia

I just got home from 2 weeks away and walked in and gasped at all of the Christmas decor to put away (and I don’t think mine comes close to rivaling yours!). My oldest daughter came over the next day and she helped for 2 hours and that got me started and YEAH – I am done!

When I talk about tablescaping with co-workers, inevitably I end up saying: “Oh, gosh, open up your browser, you have GOT to take a look at this blog.” Then, we proceed to ooh and ahh over all your wonderful tables. I am looking forward to a year of your amazing table designs!
