A Strawberries for Dinner Summer Tablescape

This strawberry tablescape is a repeat of one I did a few years ago. I bought the green gingham tablecloth on Amazon several years ago. I have had really good luck finding tablecloths there that are great quality and inexpensive. The red placemats came from Pier 1 several years ago before our store closed.

These melamine strawberry plates came from Sur La Table online a few years ago. They often have cute plates and I wait until the end of season sales and buy them then. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying salad plates here.

I added an extra plate to the plate stack for design purposes. The next plate down is from Pottery Barn, their Cambria pattern in red. It is a smaller version of the charger plate that is on the bottom. Because of its size, it can be used as a dinner plate or a salad plate. I love these plates and I use them often.

This dinner plate is made by Fiesta and the color is Lemongrass. I think I bought them at Macy’s several years ago. I have Fiesta dinner and salad plates in a few basic colors and I plan to buy more! You can read about what you need to think about when you are buying dinner plates here.

The bottom plate in the stack is a Cambria red charger plate from Pottery Barn. I use this charger often in my tablescapes. They were one of my first purchases when I started tablescaping several years ago. I later bought this charger plate in other colors as well.

This flatware is made by D & D Inox in Italy. I bought it at Neiman Marcus or Bloomingdales during a major sale a few years ago. There are similar patterns available online right now. This red set pops up quite a bit in my table settings. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying flatware here.

These strawberry napkins came from Sur la Table a couple years ago and they are a close match to these salad plates from there that I bought a few years ago. I bought the wood strawberry napkin rings on Ebay several years ago. I only have six, I wish I could find six more to match them. Ebay often has different strawberry napkin rings for sale.

Can’t remember where I found the glass jar place card holders but it may have been online at Wayfair or one of the wedding supplies sites. I filled them with tiny strawberries but I couldn’t find enough to fill all the jars, still looking for more! I printed the place cards out from free online designs.

I am using my red Waterford Marquis Brookside goblets on this table. If I were starting a tablescaping hobby, a set of red goblets would be one of my first purchases. I bought these red glass goblets years ago at HomeGoods. They are available on Ebay from time to time. The green spiral glass goblets came from Pier 1 several years ago, I use them several times a year. I like how tall they are and the simple design. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying goblets for your tablescaping collection including the colors that I use most often here.

This strawberry salt and pepper set and the strawberry cookie jar centerpiece came from HomeGoods a few years ago. They were made by Arlington Designs.

I have had this tiny plastic salt and pepper set for many years. I probably found it on Ebay. It isn’t marked. I just love their expressions!

I have had this small jam jar for a long time. It has a cute little spoon with a strawberry on it too. You can just see the tip of it. The jar is labeled MWW Market. I can’t remember where I bought it but it might have come from a wonderful gift shop near here that went out of business several years ago.

I usually don’t start planning a tablescape until I know for certain what the centerpiece will be because I struggle with that sometimes. I had been looking for a red strawberry cookie jar for a while but they were all too expensive or not the right color red. I finally found this one a few years ago at HomeGoods. I put it on one of my Pottery Barn Rhodes drink dispenser stands to give it a bit more height.

I love the bright red and lime green color combination!

Now I’m ready for some strawberry shortcake!
