I wanted to go with a “Gulf Coast” sea theme… using everything that is so delightful about living on the coast. Seashells, star fish, hydrangeas, mason jars and sweet tea…all enjoyed with a gentle breeze under the rising moon. An absolutely perfect setting to enjoy the company of someone special.
I started with a lovely Waverly print table cloth… pretty yellow and white stripes set the back drop for bright hydrangeas colored in periwinkle, purples, blues and greens.
Hope y’all enjoyed my first Tablescape with a little taste of the Gulf Coast. You are welcome back anytime. 
I wanted the boldness of the table cloth to really stand out… so I chose a green plate set to match the leaves of the hydrangeas. I topped the plate with a Star Fish accent to give a “lucky to live by the sea” feel. 
I tied a simple white napkin (to accent the stripes) with a floral hydrangea print ribbon.
Mason Jars were filled with sweet tea…there is no other way to relax and enjoy a warm spring evening. I tied sheer periwinkle bows onto the mason jars. Such a simple but special way to make a jar go from plain to pretty.
The center jars were filled with hydrangeas and lavender. I arranged the flowers in two old antique bottles and a mason jar filled with shells.
…and they were trying their best to stay lit amidst the gulf breeze.
Good evening Moon… so glad you came to share in our dinner party. 
Oh you have my head just buzzing with all these great ideas. :0) Love the shells in the mason jar. The tablecloth is fabulous…
omg..this is great! i love it!!
I loved it! So pretty and simple…You have a knack girl. ~Athella

You really know how to coordinate the colors ! I added starfish to my scape this week too – seems like they go with everthing, lol !
Thanks for sharing, Hugs ~ Kammy
I grew up on the gulf coast and just love your tablescape. Yellow and blue is my favorite combination and you did it so well! The shells and starfish really add the beach element and the mason jars say southern gulf coast! Wonderful post and your blog is so lovely! Thanks for visiting my blog! Miss Bloomers/Sonia
beautiful…you did a wonderful job! Happy Tablescape Thursday ~ Susan
Beutiful colors and great theme!
Love the “by the sea” feel of your table. It all fits together so beautifully!
This is simply lovely, and I’m sure even more delightful with the gulf breeze blowing. My sister lives in Panama City and I visit often, so I have felt those warm, wispy breezes!! We get the warm, tropical breezes here, too. I’m about 30 minutes from Daytona Beach…for me the Florida climate is heaven on earth!! I am the real-deal sunshine gal born and raised here!!
Thanks for sharing!! Like Kammy said, your blog is great!!
Blessings,
Becky
