Set Your Table With Flair--Masculine Yet Elegant Nautical For Father's Day


Hello, friends!  Thank you so kindly for stopping in to visit me today!  I hope everyone is enjoying the Summer thus far.  We are, save for the drought still prevalent here in California...hoping for an end to it soon!

I have always been a fan of waterways....maybe because we went to the beach often as I grew up.  Nevertheless, I wanted to combine subtle elements of nautical nuances for this Father's Day table.  Father's Day is just a few short days away, so I wanted to share an inspirational setting fit for the occasion.  I hope you enjoy the post! 

I began the setting on a crisp hemstitched cloth in vibrant white.  For the setting, elements of white, gold, and navy were utilized.



Navy-edged placemats were placed with navy chargers



white plates,



and clock plates with gold detail.



I love these plates,



they remind me somewhat of those large compasses you might see on a very old vessel.



Crisp whites held by brassy rings sit perfectly beside the plate.










Knots of tied rope at the top of each place setting



hold flatware of gold.







A mug for coffee or tea,











combines with a pitcher for pouring.








A preppy creamer and sugar


are the perfect compliment to the mugs and pitcher.



A small handwritten note on the other side of the plate lets dad know how much you appreciate him.  ;)




No elaborate centerpiece,


but a small boxwood






handsomely dressed in navy ribbon






completes the setting.

    As always, another amazingly creative tablescape. I absolutely adore the clock plates! They are so elegant. You could use them for a New Year's dinner, birthday, graduation-events that celebrate the passage of time. Enjoy your week! ~Nora

      Thank you, Nora! I actually have used these for New Years; the plates come in a set of four varying plates...I've used the alternative plates before...the post is in the archives (winks slyly).

    It always amazes me (and inspires) how you take a few non-related items and create such beautiful tables! Do you just "see" things in the store and think, "Ahh! Someday I can do something with that!"??? I love this table setting. I am more determined than ever to eat outside more - once it stops raining. And raining. And raining!

    Oh, my, I can't tell you how very much I LOVE this tablescape! You have hit it "outta the park!" with everything: your clocks plates, the knotted rope holding your flatware, your note next to the plate, your centerpiece........everything works perfectly to create a space that is sophisticated, yet warm and welcoming. Bravo!!! Rosie @ The Magic Hutch

    Oh so pretty and Oh so handsome in the style and the execution of the design of this marvelous nautical Fathers Day table. The clock plates are beautiful! Ralph Lauren certainly knows how to make a beautiful product and you knew how to set this table to perfection for sure. Of course you can never go wrong with blue and white, you just kicked it up a half a dozen or so notches. Bravo!!
