A Black and Green St. Patrick's Day Tablescape

I’ve done green St. Patrick’s Day tablescapes a few times but when I saw this black and green shamrock tablecloth on Amazon last month I decided that I would create a black and green St. Patrick’s Day tablescape this year. I will be doing one or two green ones as well probably.

Shamrock Salad Plate

I found these inexpensive square melamine shamrock salad plates at Hobby Lobby last month. Sometimes it is difficult to match greens but these plates worked with the green in the tablecloth. When I saw them I remembered that I have square black dinner plates and chargers so I knew I could create a plate stack for this tablecloth.

These square melamine black dinner plates are labeled elite global solutions. I don’t remember if I bought them on that web site or somewhere else a year or so ago. They are good quality and a good basic black square plate for your tablescaping collection. Read about what you need to consider when shopping for dinner plates here.

This square black charger was made by American Atelier and distributed by The Jay Companies. I have had them for several years and I can’t remember where I bought them but it might have been Amazon or Webstaurantstore.com. They look like glass but they are some kind of resin. You can see the same charger on a Valentine’s Day tablescape that I did last week here.

Ginkgo International LePrix Flatware

This black flatware set is Ginkgo International LePrix. I have had it for years but it is still for sale online. Not sure where I bought it. I have this flatware in other colors as well. You can see my red flatware set like this one on a Grinch Christmas tablescape here and my orange flatware set like this one on a Crabby Tablescape here.

Crate & Barrel Black Cotton Napkins

I found the green and clear acrylic shamrock napkin rings on Etsy four years ago. The black cotton napkins came from Crate and Barrel online last year. I wanted some basic black cotton napkins and Crate and Barrel always has good quality items. You can read my blog post about how to store napkin rings and place card holders here.

My daughter-in-law gave me these Kate Aspen Topiary Tree place card holders several years ago. I see them for sale online from time to time online on various sites. The green place cards came from Amazon last year.

I have had the green spiral glass goblet on the left for several years. It was one of the first goblets I bought when I started tablescaping. I love the spiral design and the height of it. The goblet on the right with the black bowl and clear stem was made by Classic Touch and it is called V-Shaped Water Glass, Black With Clear Stem. I bought them at Houzz online a couple years ago. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying goblets for your tablescaping collection here.

Last year I googled large shamrock and found this wood one on Etsy. I actually bought three and Hubby glued them together so they would be thicker and he made a stand for them. The shamrock came unfinished and Hubby first painted it green for me and then I decided I wanted gold to match a St. Patrick’s Day tablescape that I did last year (you can see that tablescape here) so he painted it gold. This year I wanted it green again and he painted it green for me. When you are out and about looking for tablescaping items keep in mind that you can usually paint anything a different color if necessary. The black stand the shamrock is sitting on was a natural wood color but Hubby painted it white for me to use on a few of my Beach tablescapes and then black for a couple Halloween tables. Now I wish I had bought a couple more to paint other colors! You can see the stand painted white on one of my summer tablescapes here. The small metal green shamrocks on the black stand are actually bells, I can’t remember where I found them.

I bought the two resin leprechauns last year somewhere but I don’t remember where. I like their cute faces and all the detail, gold buckles and all!

This tablescape definitely says Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
