A Peel the Love Summer Tablescape

I did another oranges themed tablescape three years ago but this one has a different color scheme. I bought this cotton sateen orange and white gingham tablecloth at Spoonflower online. I have a few dishes with an oranges pattern on them because I was born in a town called Orange, graduated from high school there, and was later married there even though I didn’t grow up there. You can see my earlier Oranges themed tablescape and 270+ other tablescapes that I have created on my blog here: https://www.whispersoftheheart.com/tablescapes . I also have written several blog posts about Tablescaping DIY and you can read them here: https://www.whispersoftheheart.com/tablescapehowto .

I found these Foster Icon Stoneware orange themed dinner plates at Anthropologie earlier this year. I have such a soft spot for dishes with oranges on them and I love the color combination of orange and this bright blue color. I didn’t buy a salad plate because I didn’t want to hide the design on the plate.

This is a Fiesta dinner plate in the color Poppy, a perfect color for an oranges themed tablescape. I can’t remember where I bought them online but if you google it, there are several sources where they can be purchased. I have this plate in several different colors and I use Fiesta plates often on my plate stacks when I need a simple solid color dinner plate.

This is one of my favorite glass chargers. I bought them when I first started tablescaping. They are a heavy blue glass and I love the color and the tweed like design in the glass. They are made by Villeroy and Boch and the pattern is called Verona. Not sure where I found them online. I have this charger in a few other colors as well.

I have had this frosted blue flatware set for several years. The flatware was made by D & D Inox in Italy. I bought it at Neiman Marcus or Bloomingdales during a major sale many years ago. There are similar frosted patterns available online now. I have a frosted red flatware set from the same company with a different stainless design. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying flatware here.

I found these oranges napkin rings on Etsy a few years ago. The orange color was off but Hubby saved the day by painting them a better color. The blue napkins came from Amazon sometime. To read about the What, When and How of napkin rings please click here.

I found these faux orange slices on Etsy. I had bought lemon ones for another tablescape and I knew they had oranges as well. I set two of them on a Oleg Cassini clear glass square place card holder. I bought the place card holders at HomeGoods several years ago when I first started tablescaping. They are heavy and solid and I really like the simple design. I often use them as a stand for place card items. They pick up whatever color the tablecloth is and I love that. You can read my blog post for ideas about how to store napkin rings and place card holders here.

I think the blue goblets came from Pier 1 a few years ago. The orange goblets came from Michael’s a few years ago too. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying goblets for your tablescaping collection including the colors that I use most often here.

I knew that I wanted a blue bowl full of oranges on this tablescape. Hubby found a glass bowl and spray painted it blue. I wasn’t sure that painting glass would work but it came out perfect. The faux oranges came from Michael’s a few years ago.

I have many candles and candle holders and I decided that I needed to use them more often. I bought these blue glass candlesticks online last year at Sur La Table. They are a really thin and delicate glass and I love the design. The photo shows them darker than they really are.

I added a set of salt and pepper small oranges to the table. i think that I found them on Amazon.

This would be a perfect tablescape for a breakfast or brunch especially if you serve orange juice!
