Blue and Yellow Summer/Fall Tablescape

I set this Blue and Yellow Summer/Fall Tablescape a few weeks ago for a family gathering, and I really love how it all came together! I had a lot of these colors in my kitchen and dining area from my summer decor, and I think these colors also work great for a decor transition into fall!

Summer into Fall Decor

I am never quite ready for summer to end and fall to arrive, so maybe that’s why I always do a Summer-into-fall transitional tablescape. I had found these yellow and blue plates at HomeGoods and literally went to every HomeGoods store in my area to find them. I never found enough of them for ten place-settings, so I used one of my favorite tricks to create enough place-settings for my table.

My Favorite Trick to Create Enough Place-settings

What do you do if you don’t have a full set of dishes to make enough place settings for your dining table? Mix and match sets of dishes! Click here to see how I set two tablescapes for twenty people using my favorite little trick!

Here you can see how I alternated the dinner and salad plates. This photo above has the patterned white and yellow dinner plate on the bottom and the solid blue patterned plate on top.

And here is the alternating place-setting where the solid patterned blue dinner plate is on the bottom and the white and yellow patterned salad plate is on the top. You can even mix and match the napkins as well.

The Place-Setting

Layering is the key to a beautiful place-setting. Mixing solids and colors is also a great way to contrast. For the rest of the place setting, I started with a matching navy blue placemat. Next, I used a white wood charger and then alternated the dinner and salad plates.

I used my gold and silver flatware and some dark blue goblets.

The Centerpiece Garland

To create the centerpiece garland, I layered a base faux eucalyptus garland on top of a navy blue table runner. I always “fluff” my garlands and faux greenery, and florals. This makes them look more natural and real!

Next, I took some faux blueberry stems and slid them into the garland.

I then slid in some yellow faux flowers to add a pop of color to the garland.

You can also leave the centerpiece garland on the table without the dishes as table decor.

I hope you enjoyed seeing all the details of how I created this Blue and Yellow Summer/Fall Tablescape and that you found some inspiration for your own home decor. Here are a few more photos of the tablescape, and I’ll link all the sources or similar items below so you can source things and replicate this look if you like!

Enjoy!

Here are the sources I could link for you to replicate this look. The blue dishes were from Pier 1, which is out of business, and the other plates are a HomeGoods find, and I’ve yet to find any more, but they often have other patterns that are similar. They are Italian-made dishes.

DECOR TRANSITION INTO FALL

The post Blue and Yellow Summer/Fall Tablescape appeared first on Home With Holly J.

I absolutely love lavender season and look forward to it every summer! I dream of creating a beautiful outdoor tablescape in a lavender field somewhere. Since I wasn’t able to do that this summer, I was inspired to create this Lavender and Mint Green tablescape for a luncheon I was hosting at my home.

I had planned this tablescape out in my head for months and just before I was ready to start putting it together, Yankee Candle Company reached out to me and asked if I would like to use their new Dried Lavender and Oak candle from their Farmers Market Collection.

Of course, I was thrilled because I love using candles in my tablescapes. These candles not only look nice, they smell amazing. The timing of this couldn’t have been more perfect.

Lavender and Mint Green Place-Setting

For the place-setting I chose these hyacinth placemats. I like layering different textures and patterns and these worked perfectly. I used mint green scalloped dinner and salad plates and for the top plate these colorful lavender dessert plates.

I chose a bright lavender cloth napkin and the napkin ring matches the charger. For the flatware I used a simple sterling silver pattern. The clear crystal wine glasses mixed well with the vases in the centerpiece so that is why I chose them.

The Centerpiece

For the centerpiece, I decided to use fresh flowers and a mix of vases and greenery to fill up the center of the table. I like to keep the centerpieces lower on the table so you can converse with the people across from you. A centerpiece should enhance and bring beauty to the table but not interfere with your ability to engage with the other guests at your table.

First, I layered a few faux eucalyptus garlands thru the middle part of the table and on top of a burlap table-runner.

I filled a large clear glass vase with purple, lavender, and white flowers for the main centerpiece and then added two smaller vases filled with more flowers on each side. Creating height in the middle draws your eye to the centerpiece.

To fill in the rest of the center of the table, I nestled in small purple bud vases and filled them with the leftover flowers and then set the Dried Lavender and Oak Yankee Candles all throughout the garland.

Mixing Fresh and Faux Flowers and Greenery

I get asked often if it is okay to mix fresh flowers and greenery with faux flowers and greenery? I say YES! I do it all the time! The faux eucalyptus is easy to work with and lasts forever! I have invested in some quality faux garlands and I use them over and over. I chose to use fresh flowers in vases in this tablescape but you could use faux too!

The Dried Lavender and Oak Yankee Candles added the perfect accent to the tablescape!

I’ve shared all the sources I can below! I hope you enjoyed seeing all the beautiful details of this lavender and mint green tablescape. As always, I hope to inspire you to set your own beautiful table and gather with those you love!
