Beachy Tablescape Summer Party Idea

Beachy Tablescape Summer Party Idea
Wouldn’t it be a dream to live by the beach? Well I can’t so I am just going to pretend I do by creating a beachy tablescape.

Centerpiece

For my Beachy Tablescape Summer party Idea I came up with this Centerpiece idea.
I chose to use my Ikea lantern filled with shells and a tall white candle surrounded by two other glass apothecary jars filled with sea shells and gold silverware.

Tablecloth

 The gorgeous satiny fabric that is flowing all down the center of the table is actually a $5.00 bolt of fabric from Wal-Mart! Yes indeedy cheap it the only way to go! It looks so romantic and kind of sexy don’t you think?

The little details

I love how all the gold forks just shine sitting in the tall glass apothecary jar filled with sea shells. The Little Mermaid herself would love to sit down at this table.

  My incredible chandelier was purchased at a consignment shop here in Salt Lake and it just adds that sparkle to the room. My hubby installed a dimmer switch so we can light it up or turn it down low for a more romantic feel.

Dishes

I found these clear slightly green salad plates for only .99 each! They were on clearance at a store called Tai Pan. Are they not perfect or what?! Layering the plates make it look luxurious.

Footed dishes or bowls elevate food to make it stand up and out. This trifle wish filled with seashells and chocolates will make your guests drool!

 These turquoise blue salad plates are from Tai Pan as well but they don’t sell them anymore. I wish I could find dinner plates in the pattern and color! Notice the sea horse chocolates sitting in its own shell…they make such a nice gift for your guests.

 More of these delectable chocolates sitting ready for me to eat!
Actually I have already eaten a few ha ha!

Mixing gold and silver

You will notice I used silver charges, silver candle sticks, mixed with “King Triton’s” gold forks, spoons and knifes but it all works beautifully. I love my white napkin rings and I wish I had more to sell but they are no longer making them 🙁gorgeous beachy tablescape using sea shells

My daughter came up with the idea of putting all the gold forks in the jar. I leave this on my buffet most of the time..it is so fun. By the way….those gold forks are from Big Lots..ha ha years ago!

Now If I could just have this all set up in a beach house overlooking the ocean it would be perfect wouldn’t it?

      Amy,
      Thank you so much! I really loved putting this together. I used to live in So. Cal and I too miss the beach…so if you can’t be there at least we can pretend… right? 🙂

Happy heavenly Mother’s Day to my mom! How we al Happy heavenly Mother’s Day to my mom! How we all loved her! I miss her funny sense of humor, her fierce love of others, her cooking and desires to always please everyone. Mom had strength beyond my comprehension she was always gardening… moving heavy pots, digging in hard soil and creating an oasis everywhere she lived. Her love of all things French was something to admired. Everyone who ever walked into her home could immediately feel loved and cared for. Mom worked tirelessly in her chocolate company right up until just a few months before she died. Her sacrifices for us were uncountable. I love my mom and all she was and did and especially her faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Here’s to all the moms past present and future and to all the sacrifices, teachings and loving us even when we drive them crazy. 

Loving and missing my mom! ❤️
