    Phillip, you are a man born in the wrong century. I really appreciate the way you boldly go about being your true self. The world would be a better place with more real gentle and kind men like you. I am so happy that you found your love and lifestyle that so well suits you.

      a magnifcant steed so you can gallop through those gates, into the Courtyard, dismount and hand the horse to a lakey and stride into the chateau and sweep Stephanie off her feet. ahh.. fantasties.. lol..

    Your gift of setting tables is marvelous. 👍🏼💖one small idea for this late afternoon tea setting would be that some greens instead of flowers had given a touch of nature to it like small pine twigs in between 🌿

    I love when the actual food that will be eaten is visually beautiful on the plate and has many heights, colors, so it can double as a center table scape. It allows the guests to also continually and more easily help themselves to more since the food is on the table instead of on a server without the table feeling crowded or food taking away from the centerpiece. I love when the table decor not only looks beautiful with the room but also considers and visually compliments the food being served. I so enjoy how you create spaces that are elegant and beautiful, yet comfortable, inviting, and where you would want to linger with good company!

But I love it!! The way you show it makes it easier to remember. Thanks and congrats from Canada ❤!

    Philip - I find myself expecting a pan shot/very close up showing us the patterns of the plates/cutlery/napkins before you put them on the table. I miss this detail. It feels like you are rushing us through and sending us on our way too quick - you could be sharing your knowledge of the pieces you choose and perhaps even why you like these items (or like them for this particular setting). We'd enjoy that...we like that from you... we're here after all!

    Hi there! As always, a most festive & beautiful table Philip! You definitely have THE most fun jobs these days! ( I love, love LOVE setting the table!) Perhaps instead of flowers, which can be rather elusive this time of year, you could collect greenery ( pine, redwood, rosemary, cedar, anything green could work really) and make tiny wreaths to go around the candle base. Or lay the greenery along the length of the table, interspersed amongst the plates of food or maybe just in the middle 1/3 of the table. You can accent with pops of color using gold baubles, beads, small ornaments from the Christmas tree, bons bons, OR pinecones, acorns, horse chestnuts.... you get the idea. ( you could paint some of the natural treasures in gold to use every year, they look so pretty!) If you need height, use a pedestal bowl in the middle of the table, filled with some ( or all😄) of the things mentioned above. You could make a “pedestal” bowl or plate out of orphaned china & a wine glass. I think you’ve had practice doing that, right? Didn’t Kat absolutely LOVE that craft project? Perhaps not so much)😆
    I hope you know that I am in no way suggesting that your lovely table is anything less than perfect! I most assuredly am not! I’m just responding to your invitation to us for suggestions. And I apologize for the dissertation length comment... I get waaaay too excited about table setting. Thank you for sharing this with us Philip. And thank you so much for being such a perfect, magical Prince for our precious & beautiful Stephanie. You are both so very much loved by us all. With love from the Northern California Coast 🐾

    Beautiful..thank you Philip..... enjoying your snippet vlogs 👍🏻.
    Personally would have put the dessert spoon and fork across the top of the place setting..... my preferred way......or if you don't want .... would have put the cake fork and spoon inside the knife and fork....as you always work outside in....also would have added a teaspoon in the saucer for stirring tea....but it all looked delicious and I hope you all enjoyed 😁!
    I too love collecting china...cutlery...
    glassware etc.....silver... candles and linens
    ...am so surprised that not a lot of people want them these days....it's a shame as very few people set a table and enjoy a conversation..... preferring to sit with a tray in front of the TV...or any other screen.... and not communicating!
    Stephanie's Advent present to you...book on table settings was perfect and a lovely way to build memories👍🏻.
    My Father worked on Cunard liners as a First Class Steward....plus other liners...working his way up from bellboy.....and he still sets the table properly for every meal and taught me too as a child.
    Mt Grandfather too always set the table properly even when he ate alone.
    Father coming would not sit down if our table was not set properly....you had to check everything...but it was all done in a nice way never shouted at....the look was enough 😂!
    He also taught me how to lay a tray and everyone loves it when I do the "tea tray".
    My daughter takes photos and sends to her friends...as they love it too when I go to hers and they come round.
    Even our very youngest generation always insist on eating cake with a patisserie fork!

    Congratulations Philip on another lovely video. Thank you for sharing the overall process, as well as highlighting via the additional footage, some of the details. Is there a possibility you will also do additional videos, (these could be put together eventually as apart of an actual particular focused playlist) with guidance as to the various recipes used for each particular occasion created? Perhaps also step by step videos could be provided (within the eventual playlist also) of the how-to aspects of the actual food preparation as it goes through to the stage of considering layout & presentation on specific types of dishes? If not, (as that would be a great additional undertaking no doubt), what is currently being shared is certainly just so lovely and so very inspiring, so thank you very much again for sharing another lovely and inspiring video. Well done Philip, on embracing your joy of beautiful household items that help to be hospitable and a gracious host. It is wonderful to see someone doing that here on the RUclips platform.
