Mix and Match: Coastal Contrast

Mix and Match: Coastal ContrastWhether the water is near or far, you can draw from its shimmering shoreline for a variety of looks for your summer table.

The Inspiration
Set the scene with Marchesa’s Shades of Teal Dinner Plate by Lenox. Its soft blue hue and gold-scalloped edges are reminiscent of gentle waves gracing the shore. 

Causal Possibilities
This fun maritime motif is perfect for laid-back summer gatherings. Pair the simple dinner plate with nautically inspired patterns and prints, such as a white charger bearing classic blue stripes and a tablecloth featuring watercolor scenes of ocean life. A salad plate in the shape of a fish is a fitting final touch.

Elegant Options
Elevate the subtle sophistication of the dinner plate with a seaside tablescape that offers a refined spin. The intricate beauty of a coral reef reimagined as a place mat brings movement to the scheme with the help of a tablecloth that echoes its texture. Gold notes throughout, from the wide rim of a salad plate to details in the flatware, draw the mind to scenes of the shoreline. A coral napkin not only lends color but also captures the palette of dusk on the water just before the sun slips behind the horizon.
