Pom Pom trim: A bit of pom-pom trim on a napkin is a very quick and easy way to make your table-top look festive.
Placesetting: A ginger candy, a tooth-pic and a little card stock make an easy-peasy place-setting that you can use to clean your palate after dinner 
Vine, not twine: Use vine in place of twine to wrap cutlery, and other places that you’d use twine normally. The vine makes the whole table have a woodland-magical overgrown jungalicious vibe that I can’t get enough of.
Colormixing: As centerpieces I’ve used vintage Japanese fishing floats which look a lot like huge Christmas-tree ornaments–also, draping wild berries or red peppercorns with air plants around the table creates that splash of holiday color without over-doing it. Mixing a lot of solid colors together creates a feast for the eyes, and ensures a happy, bold and bright tabletop.

I’ve been meaning to swing by here for the longest time–love your blog! Adore these colors/ideas for the tablescape! My house has an aqua/sea glass theme happening–where did you get those pretty plates?

hey! thanks for the visit! The plates are from R. Wood Studio — link at the bottom of the post. Aren’t they great!??
Love the pom poms and the vine. Such a great idea, and soooo easy. I am not a big DIYer so those ideas are perfect.
The ceramics are excellent – I love this kind of ceramics that is perfectly imperfect in shapes and textures. Just like handmade.
T this is just gorgeous! A jungalow dinner party? Yes please! LOVE!
