How To Create A “Peachy” Summer Tablescape
I had so much fun creating the tablescape this month for our monthly dinner club! We decided on a summer theme, so I thought it would be fun to do a peach theme. Come along and let me show you how to create a “peachy” summer tablescape.
If you are coming over from Simply 2 Moms welcome! I’m so glad you are here! Wasn’t Ann and Anne Marie’s tablescape so beautiful and creative?
My inspiration for this table was the cute peach melamine plates I bought at Hobby Lobby several months ago. I picked up a few of the salad plates to layer on top of my thrifted white dinner plates.

My sweet friend Shannon (aka My Little White Barn) and I had a barn sale a few weeks ago at her adorable white barn.
We used my white farm table for display and it was still in the barn, so I decided it would be the perfect setting for my summer tablescape.
She also happens to have a small peach orchard in front of her house, so I was able to cut some branches to use on my table.
To be perfectly honest, the peaches aren’t quite ready, so I couldn’t use real peaches for my tablescape. Luckily, you can find some fairly nice looking artificial ones.
place settings for a “peachy” summer tablescape
For each place setting, I used a large white dinner plate, layered with a smaller white dinner plate, then topped off with my peach pattern salad plate.
As I’ve mentioned before, I have a lot of thrifted white dinner plates I have collected over the years. I’ve never paid more than a couple of dollars per plate and they come in very handy when doing any tablescape.
I highly recommend starting a collection of them, if you don’t already have white dishes.
I also have thrifted clear vintage goblets that are used at most of my table settings and for entertaining.
Those are also easy to find at thrift stores and estate sales. You can find lots different color goblets too. I have a set of amber ones I like to use with fall tablescapes paired with my brown transferware.
For this peach themed tablescape, I used ivory linen napkins I purchased on clearance at Arhaus several years ago, and pulled them through woven napkin rings.
I finished off each place setting with gold flatware and a clear goblet.
centerpiece ideas for a “peachy” tablescape
Three rectangle woven placemats were placed down the center of the table to create a runner. They were touching each other, with no space between, so you can’t really tell it’s not an actual table runner.
This farm table is very narrow, so I opted for a table runner and no placemats. The plates slightly overlap the table runner.
A large white pedestal bowl filled with peaches and a few peach leaves was the perfect centerpiece for a “peachy” summer tablescape.
The large bowl in the center of the table added some drama.
I use this bowl for so many things. On a daily basis, it sits on my kitchen island and holds fruits and veggies.
I added several branches from the peach tree down the center of the table and sprinkled a few of the faux peaches along table between the leaves.
For a finishing touch to my centerpiece, I added 3 vintage brass candlesticks with ivory tapers.
Candlelight adds such a nice ambiance to a dinner party, don’t you think??
I hope you enjoyed this tablescape idea and found some inspiration to create a peachy summer tablescape of your own!
