No, I do not set the table like this every night for dinner…. but, for a dinner party, isn’t this simple and pretty? These pretty blue and white placemats really set the table for a preppy, Southern place setting – I have it set with our everyday flatware and casual Kate Spade plates.
The pretty flatware was a wedding gift from our registry and looks brand-new after nearly daily use for thirteen years. It’s really sleekly (I still love the design!) and clearly a sturdy purchase because we’ve run them through the dishwasher a million times… and a few have accidentally been mauled by the disposal.
The plates are Kate Spade, which I found in the Lenox outlet a decade ago. (Available on Replacements now) and the linen hemstitch napkins were a wedding gift.
I’d love to add these tassel cocktail napkins as a layer under the dinner napkin – aren’t they fun?
Who’s ready to throw a party?
