Sea Turtles on a Spring Tablescape
I have always loved sea turtles and their story. Six different species of sea turtles are found in the United States in nine different states, mostly on the East Coast, but also in Southern California, Texas, and Hawaii. I have created several different ocean themed tablescapes over the years and I am always looking for more ideas so when I saw these sea turtle themed salad plates I knew I could create another ocean themed tablescape using them. I found this Tommy Bahama blue coral tablecloth at HomeGoods a few months ago. It is a heavier broadcloth type cotton material and I love it. It is an easy iron.
Sea Turtles Salad Plate
I found these melamine sea turtle salad plates at HomeGoods a few months ago. I love the color combination of lime green and different blues and I have used it before on my tablescapes. The salad plates were made by Sigrid Olsen Home. When I saw them I knew I had other dishes and goblets that would work well with them. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying salad plates here.
Fiesta Lemongrass Dinner Plate
I am using my Fiesta dinner plates in the color Lemongrass. I probably bought them at Macy’s or online several years ago. I really like Fiesta dinner plates and salad plates. They have bold colors and they are the perfect basic building blocks for a plate stack. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying dinner plates here.
Villeroy and Boch Verona Charger
This is one of my favorite glass chargers. I bought them when I first started tablescaping. They are a heavy blue glass and I love the color and the tweed like design in the glass. They are made by Villeroy and Boch and the pattern is Verona. I am not sure where I found them online. I have this charger in a few other colors as well.
I wanted to break up the busy tablecloth a bit more so I added blue placemats to the table. I have read that you should not put a placemat on a tablecloth on tablesettings but I do it anyway sometimes. My tablescapes are more informal so I think I can get away with it. The blue placemats probably came from Pier 1 years ago before our store closed.
Frosted Blue Flatware
I have had this frosted blue flatware set for a few years. The flatware was made by D & D Inox in Italy. I bought the set at Neiman Marcus or Bloomingdales during a major sale several years ago. There are similar frosted patterns available online now. If you google frosted flatware and the color you want, something should easily pop up.

Wilford & Lee Home Accents Aqua Sea Turtle Napkin Rings
Bella Coastal Decor Sea Medley Turtle Napkins
These cute ocean themed cotton napkins came from Bella Coastal Decor online a few months ago and they are called Sea Medley Turtle Napkins. The colors are perfect for this tablescape. I was so happy when I found them. I found the beaded sea turtle napkin rings at Wilford & Lee Home Accents online a few months ago.
I found the imitation coral place card holders two years ago at KateAspen, a wedding site online. I often find napkin rings and place card holders on wedding sites online.
The plastic blue goblet on the left came from Pier 1 several years ago. Dollar Stores sometimes have this style of plastic goblet for sale for summer in bright colors. I bought the green spiral glass goblets on the right at Pier 1 several years ago. If you read my blog you have seen these green goblets several times on my tablescapes. These are both taller goblets and I like the height. I try to buy taller goblets now. They show better on my tablescapes because I have a large table.
HomeGoods Coral Centerpiece
I found the white coral centerpiece at HomeGoods a few months ago. The centerpiece sea turtle came from Wilford & Lee Home Accents online a few months ago.
This tablescape makes me want to be walking along the ocean right now!
