Disclosure: This casual blue & white holiday table post is sponsored by   As always, all opinions and words are my own.

I have some more fun goodies sold exclusively at to share with you today!   Of course, I’m inspired by classic blue and white color palette.  They are definitely speaking my language.  As I was looking through their home items to decide what to share today, I kept coming back to these playful blue and white dishes.   Most of the pieces I use for my own table settings as well as ones for photoshoots are vintage or antique, which can then be more of a challenge to duplicate.  For this casual blue and white holiday table, I thought it would be fun to use dishes from and other accessories and decor from so it could easily be replicated.

that inspired this casual blue and white holiday table…

I started with an antique table runner that I made out of a piece of toweling years ago.  Here are a few blue and white runners from Walmart that would also look great for this casual holiday table…

On top of the runner, I placed this and some pinecones I collected from my neighborhood.  If you can’t forage pine cones, you can buy some .

is very realistic-looking and a nice garland for the price.  I also like that it’s not overtly Christmas, so it can be used for many different occasions.  This casual blue and white holiday table is meant to be a table that could work for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and any event during the fall and winter months.

I mixed one bunch of live seeded eucalyptus into the faux garland to fill it out even more.  Mixing live and fax greens is a trick I’ve used for years.  It makes the fake pieces look more realistic, but saves you from having to buy a lot of live greens and flowers.

When mixed together, you can’t even tell where the live sprigs end and the begins.

I used a couple of the lunch plates from the set as “candle holders” for some plain, .  I really like that this place setting comes with a dinner plate, luncheon plate, a shallow soup/pasta bowl, and a deeper soup/cereal bowl.  It’s much more practical than a teacup and saucer in each setting and a better combination for families today.  If you need them, you can buy a set of mugs that match the dishes

I added blue and white gingham ribbon to the garland on the table and also used it for place cards.  I tucked some live persimmons and walnuts (in the shell) in the garland as well.

I ordered some little brass bells to tie place cards to for this casual blue and white holiday table.  Place cards are fun to use even if it’s just your family or a casual gathering of friends.  It is a personal touch that doesn’t take long.

I wrote our names on some scrap pieces of paper in blue ink…

…and tied each one with the gingham ribbon onto a little brass bell.

I love how these turned out!  They are so simple but look really cute draped over the bowl.

I think the shine of the bells adds that holiday touch to this casual table and warms up the blue & white color palette.  This is another example that Christmas doesn’t have to be red and green and Thanksgiving doesn’t have to be earth tones!

I surrounded the pillar candles with to fill out the plates a bit better and add some texture.

I don’t think you can go wrong mixing in pretty seasonal elements like fresh fruit, nuts, and pine cones.  The ribbon adds a nice pop of color and ties the natural elements in with the blue and white dishes.

I think this casual blue and white holiday table is a good example that pretty doesn’t have to be expensive or fussy.  It also shows how you can mix patterns and new and old.  I hope you are able to pull a lot of inspiration for your own holiday tables!

I love how it turned out!  It’s fresh, playful, but yet feels festive and elegant all at the same time.  That’s a holiday decorating win in my book.
