SET YOUR SUMMER TABLE - Bradley Agather

TABLECLOTH (SIMILAR HERE) // PLACEMAT (SIMILAR HERE) // PLATE // NAPKIN // FLATWARE

Whether it’s a sit-down dinner or a casual BBQ, anything goes when it comes to a summer table. No surprise here: I love a theme – and what better time than right now to set a nautical scene?

From vintage finds (see: these fab placemats) and one-of-a-kind oyster plates to ocean-inspired glassware and the chicest shell accessories your table has ever seen, there’s no shortage of items to help you set a (chic!) seaworthy scene. Below, a hit list of favorites.

STRAW FISH PLACEMATS

Amazon for the win! Snag these fish placemats just in time for your next dinner party.

ESTE CERAMICHE SPLATTER PLATES

Layer in the blues for an ocean-inspired table.

ELIZABETH LAKE SHELL NAPKINS

These hand-stitched linen napkins are exquisite. They look just as good at a formal table with fine china as they do for a more casual scene.

VINTAGE BURLAP FISH PLACEMATS

How fab are these fish placemats? Sold as a set of six, these vintage fish are sure to be a conversation-starter.

BAMBOO FLATWARE

If you only invest in one item for your table, let it be bamboo flatware. It’s the quickest way to add texture to a table.

VINTAGE FITZ AND FLOYD CARIBBEAN SEA SHELL SALAD PLATES

These vintage shell plates are the perfect size for salad or small bites. Snag this set before they disappear.

POLSPOTTEN FISH GLASS JAR

This quirky fish adds something whimsical to a table. Use it for holding the utensils at a more casual gathering or fill it with candy and pass it around at the end of the meal.

When your table is missing that last little something to tie it all together, napkin rings just might do the trick. I love these handmade seahorse napkin rings. Not only are they very on-theme, but they add great texture to the table, too. Bonus: they come in so many good colors!
