At Boone Square, inspiration is always close at hand. For this styled shoot, we partnered with our neighbor, Terry Smedley of Beau Paperie, to showcase the perfect pairing of vintage tableware and bespoke stationery. Terry created six unique stationery suites, each with its own personality, and together we matched them to our curated collection of vintage china and glassware. Adding the perfect finishing touch, The Flower Patch provided glorious, complementing florals that brought each tablescape to life. In this post, we’re highlighting three of those designs—including two featuring our beloved purple goblets and one with timeless gold and cream details. Stay tuned for our next blog, where we’ll reveal the remaining looks and even more creative combinations.
The second tablescape radiated classic elegance in gold and cream. Vintage plates with delicate gold accents and rims set a luxurious foundation, paired with gleaming gold flatware that elevated every detail. A crisp white tablecloth provided a clean, timeless backdrop, while gold napkins added warmth and sophistication. Beau Paperie’s coordinating table numbers and menu card completed the design, tying the tabletop together with understated refinement and a touch of glamour.
The last design brought us full circle with a return to our beloved vintage purple goblets and lilac napkins, this time tied in a graceful bow and placed atop each plate. Vintage floral plates added layers of delicate charm, while vibrant, colorful blooms filled the table with richness and joy. Beau Paperie’s floral menu card and coordinating table number echoed the beauty of the flowers, creating a look that felt romantic, fresh, and delightfully timeless.
These first three tablescapes showcase just a glimpse of the creativity that happens when vintage tableware meets Beau Paperie’s stunning stationery. From romantic purples to elegant gold and white, each setting tells its own story—full of texture, color, and thoughtful details. We can’t wait to share the remaining designs in our next blog, where even more playful palettes and inspired combinations bring Terry’s stationery to life on the table.
