A Cool Summer Tablescape

This Popsicle Tablescape idea started when I saw the two melting popsicles that are on the table at Michaels last month. Over the years I had seen popsicle plates from time to time and I knew I could probably find some so I bought the melting popsicles. I googled popsicle tablecloth and this Ambesonne Ice Cream Tablecloth popped up on Amazon. I love the bright colors for a Summer tablecloth.

When I googled popsicle plate, these C&C california melamine salad plates popped up on Ebay. They came in a set of four; yellow, green, blue, and red, and I used three of the designs on this Popsicle tablescape. The one I didn’t use has watermelon colors.

I wanted the plate stack to pick up some of the colors of the popsicles on the tablecloth so I decided to use green and yellow plates. This green dinner plate was called Fun Factory and it was made by Waechtersbach. I have had them for several years and I can’t remember where I bought them. I think the color was called Apple Green.

This is a Color Spectrum charger by Mikasa, the color is Sun Yellow and I love how bright it is. I bought these chargers on Ebay a few at a time over several years because I loved the quality and the colors. I have them in several colors now.

This orange flatware is labeled Mepra Inox and the pattern is called Fantasia. We bought it on sale at Houzz online last month but several stores sell it. I also have this flatware in blue and yellow. It comes in several other colors also and it is difficult to find flatware sets in different colors so I have my eye on a few other colors as well when it goes on sale again. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying flatware here.

I looked for popsicle napkin rings with no success but I finally found these wood ones on Etsy last month. They were natural wood but Hubby painted them yellow, orange, and green for me. I attached them temporarily to plastic napkin rings that I already had. I can’t remember where I got them, I have had them for several years. I think the blue napkins came from Pier 1 several years ago.

I found these standing popsicles on Etsy last month and I knew that I could use them as place card holders on this tablescape.

I am using some of my favorite goblets on this tablescape. The green glass goblet on the left came from Pier 1 several years ago. It can be difficult to find yellow glass goblets that don’t have a gold tint to them so when I saw these yellow goblets on the right on Etsy a couple of years ago I immediately bought them. I love the color and the size of them. 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 popsicles centerpiece was a challenge to make but Hubby did a fantastic job on it. I knew what I wanted and he made it happen. I bought these natural wood popsicles on Etsy last month from the same seller that sold the popsicles that I used as napkin rings. Hubby painted them and built the white stand they stand on and then we placed it on a square white stand that I already had. I scattered popsicle cabochons that I also bought on Etsy across the white stands to break up the white expanse of color a bit.

This melting popsicle and the other one in different colors are what started the idea for this tablescape. I was in Michaels last month and I saw a summer display in the distance and I walked over and suddenly saw these popsicles and grabbed them! I love them with this popsicle tablecloth!

It is such a bright and happy tablescape for Summertime!
