Using colorful table decor inspired by nature is the perfect place to start. This floral tablecloth and matching set of napkins are my go-to for a garden party. I couldn’t find the exact match to my tablecloth, but this one is so pretty, and the cloth napkins to match.
I used a cabbage leaf placemat as a base for the place setting. And, of course, I love my Cabbage plates. I used a green cabbage plate charger, topped with a floral dinner plate, and a white cabbage salad plate.
I added my favorite pink water goblets and the cutest place card holders. I set a beautiful floral bouquet in the center of the table. It makes a gorgeous centerpiece.
