Low country boils are typically laid back and casual – but I opted to dress the table up a bit and really lean into the theme with some fun accessories. I wanted to go for a coastal blue and yellow theme for this dinner party with lots of natural elements. I think the key to an interesting tablescape is having lots of layers and textures – my formula is a beautiful tablecloth, chargers, stacked plates, accent dishes and beautiful platters and topping that off with a contrasting napkin in an fun fold – I went with kind of undone knots for this look.

Whenever I see a traditional Christmas plaid, my mind immediately goes to anything Ralph Lauren. It has such a classic holiday feel! I leaned into that aesthetic with by letting the linens and greenery make a statement, and keeping everything else simple. I went with pine and magnolia leaves for a center garland, and used simple matte white dinnerware. To finish the look, I added pops of silver through flatware and candlesticks - another nod to the Ralph Lauren vibe!

The delicate plaid pattern on this tablecloth felt so fitting for one of my first fall tablescapes of the year. I paired is it with some of my favorite crochet chargers to give it a bit of a rustic feel, layering on terracotta pots with fresh herbs, twisted taper candles and mini pumpkins. Whenever I serve fresh pasta, I love to have additional seasonings (cheeses, salt, pepper, herbs) for guests to add to their dish based on their preferences. It makes the experience more interactive and personal!
