We’re back with Part 2 of our styled series, and this time we’re featuring three new pairings of stationery and place settings. Each design highlights a different mood and personality, showing how thoughtful details—like vintage china, distinctive goblets, and beautifully crafted paper goods—can transform a table into a story. From bold and tropical to soft and refined, these looks celebrate the art of mixing timeless tableware with modern touches.

The first look layers timeless elegance with a playful twist. Our vintage cream-and-gold china pairs gracefully with clear and gray goblets, setting the stage for a refined yet modern table. Beau styled the design with tropical floral menu cards, a delightful nod to the season, while pink ginger jars and gold figurines added pops of color and whimsy. The result? A tablescape that feels both classic and fresh, with just the right hint of exotic charm.

For the second design, the vintage clear and gray goblets return, this time paired with elegant gray-rimmed plates. The muted tones of the stationery—a softly understated menu card—echo the refined palette, creating a cohesive look that feels calm, timeless, and sophisticated. This setting is a perfect example of how subtle details can elevate a table with quiet grace.

For the third design, our vintage clear water goblets from the first two looks joined Beau’s collection of clear goblets for a layered glassware effect. The stationery featured a simple menu card, letting the florals take center stage. Flower Patch’s glorious, colorful bouquet became the undeniable star of the table, its vibrant hues playing beautifully against the white and gray plates. White taper candles, set in clear hurricanes, added a soft, glowing finish to this elegant, garden-inspired scene.

Each of these three designs shows how a thoughtful pairing of vintage tableware, distinctive goblets, and carefully chosen stationery can set the mood for a celebration. Whether accented with playful tropical touches, refined muted tones, or vibrant florals, these tablescapes remind us that beauty is in the details. We are so delighted to share this collaboration and hope it inspires you to dream up your own unforgettable settings.

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.
