Bathing Beauties on a Summer Tablescape

I love the beachie colorful summer vibe of this tablescape. I found the red striped tablecloth on Amazon a few years ago.

This theme was not on my list of Summer tablescapes to do but as often happens, when I saw these small melamine appetizer plates at World Market online a a few years ago, I knew they could make a cute tablescape. There are four different designs in the set and I used three of them on this tablescape. The fourth one had turquoise stripes so I left it off because it wouldn’t have matched anything on the table.

I decided that I wanted to use a blue, red, and yellow color scheme for this tablescape. I used our everyday Fiesta salad plates, the color is scarlet.

The next plate down in the plate stack is a Fiesta dinner plate in the color Sunflower.

This bright blue metal charger came from Pier 1 several years ago.

This flatware is labeled, Made in Italy, Inox. It was made by Zaffiro and I think I bought it on sale online at Horchow several years ago. I have the set in a few other colors as well. I love the intense deep blue color.

I found the beach umbrella napkins on Etsy and the beach ball napkin rings as well. The napkin rings were custom made for me after I bought some other napkin rings and mentioned to the seller that I was looking for beach ball ones too.

I really wanted a beach ball place card holder. I finally found these small plastic beach balls at Oriental Trading online a few years ago and figured that I could use them. (You do have to blow them up.) They could be given as party favors as well. I used my colored place cards that I found on Amazon.

These cobalt blue and yellow goblets were made by Noritake and the pattern was called Perspective. They were made between 1970 and 1983 and I found them on Ebay several years ago. This pattern came in other colors, I have them in sage green also. Ebay often has this pattern for sale in various colors. It is difficult to find yellow goblets and I was glad to find these.

I had seen some female swimmer figures that I could use as a centerpiece several places online but they were really expensive. I went over to HomeGoods a few years ago and I was lucky enough to find this one. She is sitting on a blue drink dispenser stand from Pottery Barn that I bought a few years ago.

Time for the beach!
