Summertime events are all about creating looks that are light and inviting. When creating looks for your July events, using shades of blue can be a great way to add intrigue and drama to the table. This month, we’re showcasing three amazing tablescapes that feature different shades of blue

Cerulean, White, Cornflower, and Yellow 

This first look is a breath of fresh air. A deep blue paired with white and cornflower blue is an unexpected and gorgeous look for a summertime event.

Short bud vases with just a few blooms in each encourage intimate conversations, and the whole look is topped off with bright lemons for contrast. It’s a small yet powerful way to add a pop of citrusy brightness to a cool-toned look.

Wood farm tables accentuate the crisp blue and white design—it’s natural, versatile, and perfect for a summer event.

For this look, the design is reminiscent of a magical forest, with guests greeted by clusters of tables draped in rich, Blue Twist table linen. Each table has a mossy, intricate centerpiece, and place settings features gold charger plates and jet-black napkins. Welcome to the secret garden!

Recreating this look for your own event is simple, too. Start with a rich blue linen like Blue Twist, add gold accents like gold charger plates and flatware, and maybe even add some black finishing details, maybe a Black Shantung napkin. This color scheme would be perfect for a summer evening event—the look is cool-toned, perfect for getting out of the daytime heat.

Cerulean, Stripes, Ivory, and Navy

A third way to use this deep, rich blue shade for your July event is to incorporate clean, modern lines like black and white mod striped linen. 

You can never go wrong with black and white or a good stripe. This bold and playful stripped linen paired perfectly with bright blue accents and fun geometric elements. From the unique centerpiece of stacked cube-shaped planters filled with succulents, to the blueberry pastries, you can see modern elegance everywhere.

Black Mod Stripe table linen sets the stage for this contemporary tablescape. Place settings alternate from black and white striped plates to blue, ocean-inspired charger plates, and candles in shimmering silver holders add a bit of shine to this theme.
