I wanted to do something special for Father’s Day.  Our son has been blessed with a wonderful father.  Other than just giving my husband a card & gifts, and make his favorite dinner (Rigatoni),  I wanted to make the table feel as special as he is.

When I found this fabric, I just had to have it.  It reminded me of menswear.  Perfect for a tablescape for my husband.

I made the placemats with the patterned fabric on one side & solid navy blue on the other side. (I usually make reversible placemats so I can use them twice, with half the storage)

Since it’s a darker fabric, I wanted to lighten the table, so I used a plain white cotton tablecloth.

I thought about using clear plates, so the pattern would show through, but I thought it looked a little boring busy. And I folded the napkin to look like a menswear shirt.  I thought it was fitting for Father’s Day.  I found the napkin folding instructions here at NapkinFoldingGuide.com and it was surprisingly easy to do.

I decided on plain white dishes.  I had to include a pasta plate, (since we’ll be having Rigatoni)!

Trying to create a centerpiece for a man is tough.  It couldn’t be too ‘girly’, so that left out flowers.  A Father’s Day Cake?  No, I didn’t like that idea.  I racked my brain for something that was a bit more masculine, but something that let him know just how special he is.  I used the Father’s Day Photo Centerpiece that I made from my previous post.  I set it on top of 2 beveled mirrors.  One 8″ and one 5″.

That’s when it all came together.

Hope you enjoyed my Father’s Day Tablescape.  And I hope you got some ideas from it!

Happy Creating everyone!
