CC: What was the inspiration of this look?
SS: We were inspired by the blues and whites of Cailíní Coastal and wanted to get tonal with the blues. We went richer with the navy blue taper candles - great for day or night - and lighter with the Coral Harbour Table Linens - and added both shades of blue in the florals. We opted for some more casual pieces, like melamine and teak, that could lean into more of a spring brunch, but could also take us into an evening dinner setting.

CC: Let's discuss the mixing of place settings. It's an art! How can our readers easily recreate this at home?
SS: Start with a s solid foundation - we selected the Hope Ranch Placemats and used them at each setting. We chose a patterned edge melamine plate mixed with a solid edge teak plate, that offers a nice contrast and layering effect without making it too busy. For the center plate we chose a completely different plate, but the teak salad plates tie in across the entire table to give it a cohesiveness. Even with 6 people it creates enough variety that doesn't feel too matchy-matchy or too boring. There are a lot of things to see and explore on the table!

CC: Florals are so essential to creating a gorgeous table. What is an easy way to make statement floral arrangements like this?
SS: Floral arranging can be overwhelming! A simple floral arranging tip is to stick with mono-botantical clusters. Use all of the same florals in different height vessels. It gives the variety across the table like you're doing the arrangement; however, there is not too much styling needed for each piece. It's a very simplified look. You can go to your local floral shop, grocery store, or farmers market and pick bundles of florals you like all within a similar palette.
We like to work in odd numbers. Group clusters of 3 vases together and you can mix in candles. You'll get height with the different vessels and florals. This is the easiest way to style!!

CC: Any other tips for this table?
SS: Opt for clear glassware against patterned linens and plates. It creates more movement on the table because you can see through!
