Children’s Dinner Setting

Occasion:  Children’s Dinner

Style:  Colorful, Playful

Color Scheme:  Red, Blue and Yellow

Flowers:  Mixed Bunch

I have this set of dishes I purchased years ago at a Mikasa outlet which are white porcelain with a pattern of thin stripes in yellow, blue and red. They inspired me to create a children’s dinner setting in these basic colors.

Luckily, I found the water goblets with a similar pattern at a Dollar Store near my home and believed they would match beautifully.  They have an additional moss green stripe which I blended into the setting with the placement of the moss green taper candles.

I used a white linen tablecloth as my canvas and then dressed it up with a red border runner and matching napkins.  These last two I purchased at a holiday sale from LandsEnd.com, and the quality is outstanding.

As always, I opted for contrast by placing the blue woven mats and then the blue chargers on top of them for a more layered look. The napkins are bound by white porcelain napkin rings and placed on an angle on the main plate so as not to obstruct the design.

I purchased the adorable red clothespin card holders from Michael’s for about a dollar each.  How cute are they?

And lastly, to bring it all together, I placed a small bowl of the theme color mixed flowers inside a white gloss lantern (I took out the glass panels to fit the flowers).

All in all, I think any child would get a kick out of such a colorful and playful setting, don’t you?
