In the summer, we love to set a beautiful, elegant dinner tablescape on our screen porch.

My mom is the best at setting the table every night; she will use a different tablecloth and napkins from her collection. And while it is beautiful, it does lead to lots of loads of laundry. So when I learned about Lucy Grymes tear-off paper placemats, I thought they were the perfect easy entertaining idea!

Last night we set our dinner table using two of Lucy’s elegant paper placemat designs. 

Here is how we created this colorful and straightforward tablescape: 

• First, we mixed two of Lucy Grymes paper placement patterns – one featured a blue willow pattern and one had a beautiful blue floral design.

• We added our Green Cabbage Dinner Plates (use code NAN10 for 10% off) to continue with the blue and green color palette

• Next up: blue cotton napkins (similar here and here) and green sea glass napkin rings (similar here and here)

• The water glasses are hand blown Mexican glasses with blue rims and the wine glasses are from Simon Pearce

• We filled our favorite rattan wrapped bud vases from Brooke & Lou with fresh flowers from the farmer’s market

And in those simple steps, we quickly set this blue & green dinner table!
