Navy and white, a classic pairing that’s sophisticated yet casual. The colors evoke warm summer days, blue skies, ocean breezes and lazy lunches al fresco.
Mini geometric-patterned napkins bring a modern feel to a casual table setting.
Tonal stripes, abstract florals and graphic patterns are whimsical, cheerful, fresh.
A simple glass of iced water looks thirst-quenching when dressed in this turquoise Hobnail Tumbler.

Gorgeous pictures, I love this pairing! Since I started food styling, it’s SO hard not to buy something every time I’m out and see color plates, place mats or pretty napkins. It’s an addiction, these look great!! :)
I LOVE these blues and the pictures are awesome.
I have to stay away from linens as I would buy way too many…I just get so wrapped up in all of the color choices.
I love the blue and white combination. You have such an artistic eye. These pictures are beautiful!
How gorgeous! Thanks for the tips. I always have a hard time choosing which goes with which.
I rather suck at food styling so your tips here are a Godsend! So useful to know… I love your blog already, and I haven’t even looked at a single recipe yet ;-).
Thank you for your comments everyone… I know exactly how most of you feel about buying too many linens. I try to stick to my favorite colors and blue is definitely high on that list.
Maya, you really put a smile on my face!
I see I’m not the only one who can’t resist buying beautiful props. Thanks for such great posts and picttures. As a food styling newbie they’re very helpful.
Thank you Sandra!
