The Greatest Showman Tablescape

This glam circus table was inspired by The Greatest Showman movie

Have y’all seen The Greatest Showman yet? My kids are obsessed with this movie! It’s been out for a while now and I actually created this table a few months ago for the kids and forgot to share it with you. I have to admit when I first saw the movie I didn’t really get what all the hype was about. But the more I watch it, the more I fell in love too. My son bought the soundtrack with his own money and it pretty much plays on repeat. If you haven’t seen it I recommend you give it a go.

There is no telling how close the movie is to actual events but it paints a beautiful picture. Rich colors and glorious costumes give more of a romantic touch to the circus than the traditional kid themed red and white striped scenario you see so often. I had fun drawing on the more glamorous touches The Greatest Showman highlighted.

Whatever inspires you, a table is a great place to bring it to life in your home, and it doesn’t have to cost a ton. Use things you have on hand like wrapping paper tablerunners.

The I always hit a homerun with details from the dollar store…like the velvet plate chargers, garden pots I used for peanut buckets, peanuts and faux flowers that can only be used for something fun like this tablescape! I used lots of pink inspired by Anne’s hair (the trapeze artist).
To add the “three ring” circus feel I painted embroidery hoops a deep navy.

The circus animal stands were plastic cups from my pantry painted with acrylic craft paint.

I love the pomp of individual cake stands that I found in the dollar bins at Target and topped with store bought cupcakes for a fun after school snack for the kids.
