Ahoy, mates! Welcome to Tablescape Thursday hosted by Susan at Between Naps on the Porch! Today I am taking a short break from spring decorating to set an ocean inspired table. Friday is Mr. Panache's birthday and we are having a seafood feast! So in keeping with my menu I've gone a little coastal with this week's table.
Of course we couldn't have an ocean inspired table without lovely shades of blue. I am using four varying shades of Mr. Panache's favorite color. I have used two placemats layered one on top of the other. They are aqua and royal blue. The napkin is a medium blue-teal and the decorative glass candle plates are translucent turquoise.
I filled a hurricane with glass beads of clear, teal and aqua to help tie in the color scheme.
Invited some little sea creatures over to decorate my table. A cluster of Starfish and shells picked up on Clearwater Beach during the years I lived there were the perfect accents to my Ocean Breeze table.
A lovely bronze Starfish securely holds my napkins in place.
I found these blue and white clam shell coasters at Target. They add a touch of whimsy.
A silver plated shell-shaped serving dish holds more aqua glass beads and a Starfish.
I just got these two large metal lanterns from my Celebrating Home interior accents line. I love them. They are so sturdy and versatile.
I love the way Vanilla Creme candles glow and flicker. The little candle plates were a find at Everything's A Dollar store.
I picked up three styles. I like this one. It looks like a flower or if you use your imagination, a Starfish.You may remember my Shell salad plates from my Florida Sunset post a few weeks ago. This picture also gives you a better look at the layered placemats.
This candle plate is shaped like a daisy. My Eternity silverware add shine and sparkle in the candlelight. I hope you've enjoyed the Ocean Breeze. My seafood feast will feature Grilled Salmon with lemon-dill sauce, Peel 'n Eat Shrimp, crabcakes, stuffed mushrooms with crabmeat in hollandaise sauce, roasted garlic potatoes and a leafy green salad. Mr. Panache has requested a Strawberry Cheesecake for dessert! I'll post pictures on Saturday of our feast. We will pick back up with our Spring and Easter feature posts on Friday. Until then,

I wouldn't add, change or delete a thing from this tablescape. You have given such detail and taken pains to pull this off so stunning.
I'm sure your hubby will so enjoy his birthday and dinner served on this beautiful tablescape. This is absolutely beautiful and I am removing the walls to feel like I'm outdoors.
Great ideas! That table is very "sea worthy". I love the blue accents. Thanks for sharing!

Always love seashells, they work for any kind of setting, being casual or as elegant as yours.
