A Palm Trees Tropical Summer Tablescape
I have been gathering palm tree and tropical leaf items for a while to create a tablescape but I couldn’t find salad plates that I liked until I saw these salad plates on Ebay. I have had the green tablecloth for a few years, I think I bought it at HomeGoods.
These palm tree salad plates were made by Sauvignon and the pattern was called West Indies. I found them on Ebay.
I bought these heavy melamine cream dinner plates at HomeGoods a few years ago. I also bought the same plate in a deep turquoise color. They were made by IL Mulino New York. A basic beige colored dinner plate comes in handy especially on Fall tablescapes. I often use this dinner plate because of the color and rim design.
If you read my blog you have seen my red Cambria chargers from Pottery Barn several times. They are one of my favorite chargers to use on my tablescapes. Pottery Barn is discontinuing this pattern (on clearance now) so over the past few years I added these chargers to my tablescaping collection in a few other colors including this celadon color. It is a somewhat neutral green color that goes well with several other colors and it can be used as both a charger and a dinner plate. I often use it on Spring and Fall tablescapes.
I bought these banana leaf foam placemats at Bed, Bath & Beyond online a couple months ago.
I have had this faux bamboo flatware set for several years, I can’t remember where I bought it.
I found the tropical leaf napkins on Amazon last year. They are still available. The tropical leaf napkin rings came from P. C. Fallon Co. online earlier this spring.
These tropical scene place card holders came from Etsy.
I found both of these acrylic tropical themed goblets at HomeGoods earlier this year. They really started me thinking about creating this tablescape.
I found this centerpiece at Hobby Lobby but I removed some of the leaves and added palm leaves. The container was tin and Hubby painted it green for me. I am not a fan of tin. Because this centerpiece is large it should be removed before dining so people can see each other across the table.
A local art center was having a rummage sale and there were photos online. I saw these palm tree candlesticks and Hubby went and got them for me. They are heavy metal and the bottom is bronze.
California has lots of palm trees, my neighbor out the back has several tall ones around their pool.
