How to create Clodagh’s Seaside Tablescape
What you need:
Blue and white striped tablecloth
Blue and white Napkins
By The Sea Platescapes (learn how here)
Lobster Crackers
Candle holders and lanterns
Yellow dining candles and pillar candles
Budvases
Jugs / large vases / pots of flowers
Flowers (I’ve used daisies, cornflowers, cosmos and long grasses)
Lemons
An assortment of Shells
Straw hats
Steps
1. Cover the table with the tablecloth and lay down the plates and glasses.
2. Have your napkins folded into a square, then take one corner and point it forwards allowing the rest of the napkin to fall naturally. Place the lobster cracker over the centre of the napkin and place them to the left of the plates.
3. At the top of each place setting add the condiment bowls and fill with salt and pepper. To the right of each plate place the lemons.
3. Place your largest jugs or vases at either end of the table and fill them with flowers. Next to these pots/vases place large lanterns with the pillar candles inside.
4. Along the centre of the table place the candlesticks and bud vases, fill them with flowers and candles. Scatter the shells around the candles and vases.
5. Add the straw hats to each chair.
