From everyday get-togethers to parties and showers, blue-and-white tabletops lend an air of Southern hospitality to any gracious space. We’re sharing some of our favorite place settings inspired by this timeless color palette.
Lively Layers
Shades of sapphire and white lay the foundation for this artful arrangement that takes cues from Mediterranean shores. Surrounded by seashells and citrus details, a speckled salad dish animates the Perlée dinner plate and Aegean charger by L’Objet.
Refined Delight
Complementary florals dance across the Felicity Blue dinner plate and Arden Blue salad plate by Burgess & Leigh, a duo all the more chic among gilded accessories, rattan place mats, and a trellis-motif linen.
Dashing Vibrance
The abiding versatility of Staffordshire’s Calico Blue transferware suits any occasion year-round. For summer, the lemon tones of a seersucker linen and a geometric place mat epitomize the carefree spirit of the season.
Pristine Elegance
Herend’s Fortuna Blue china, graced with flowers and fluttering creatures, sparkles atop a baby blue charger trimmed in gold. Creamy linens and a pearl napkin ring round out the genteel aesthetic.
Singular Splendor
An azure-and-white tablecloth, pastel flatware, and a curvaceous charger rejuvenate Camilla Blue by Spode. Tie the scheme together with a sassy scalloped napkin sporting an oversize floral monogram.
A Bright Outlook
Vista Alegre’s Pavilion collection showcases the classic appeal of yellow, blue, and white. A gently ruffled dinner dish nestles between the sunny charger and decorative salad plate, accompanied by modish tinted glassware and radiant blooms.
Enduring Charm
Sweet scallops, dainty blossoms, and shades of cornflower and cobalt make Consort by Minton a perennial favorite. A damask tablecloth grounds the setup, which garners allure from a watercolor napkin and metallic accents.
