Along the same theme...

18 years ago

Since we are on a theme of beach tablescapes lately, thought I'd post some pics I took last year which had a similar look although are more blue & white than "beachy". They were from a dinner party we had on a rainy day last summer (thus, again indoors!) I used a light blue tablecloth, brown woven placemats, my large square charger plates and a mix/match of blue bowls/shell plates. I think I like the one I did this year better (Seaside Setting Post) as I didn't have all the shells, etc then but there are so many different things you can do for beach-themed tablscapes, I am already thinking of other ideas. Which do you prefer?

Very pretty! I love floating candles. I like to float roses or hydrangea with candles.
Those cobalt blue bowls are wonderful!

DD, both table settings are very nice! The flowers, floating candles, and the blue bowls are so pretty with the white dishes and I really love those large candle holders!

I'd have to choose this one because I love cobalt so much.
But still a hard choice between the two settings.

Kathleen, Jane, Mary, Prosperity and Karen, thank you for your comments and opinions. Kathleen, I also like to sometimes put flowers in with the floating candles but certainly wish I had some of the beautiful hydrangeas you get to choose from. The cobalt blue bowls/plates were from the Dollar Store. I have been on the look out for some glasses or other pieces in the same colour (at a cheap price) but haven't come across any yet.

Oh, this is so pretty too. I'm sure your family/friends really enjoy how pretty you make the table look for them. I think the different shapes of the bowls adds to the interest. I too really love blue dishes. Luvs

Very pretty, 2 of my favorite color combos! I am off to look at your other thread (I am trying to play catch up) LOL

OK, I am back after reviewing both, I like the first one you did best for the beach theme, but don't get me wrong, I like this one too!

DD,
I found cobalt blue glasses that look similar to your clear ones at the Dollar Store here in the spring so keep a check and maybe they will get them in there. Wish I could have found the bowls there also. DH bought some from an Avon catalog for me a couple of years ago that cost more than a dollar!

Thanks Betty. I would LOVE to have glasses that colour so will keep an eye out here! Too bad it is too late for the Avon ones even if they were more expensive...maybe they will make a come back!
