Sparkly Sand & Seabirds Table Scene

Bring out your inner beachcomber when you summon the salt-kissed serenity of the shore with this seabird themed table scene.

This design delivers mood, movement, and meaningful detail--perfect for hosting coastal dinners, beach-themed brunches, and celebrating your love for seabirds and sparkle.

CENTERPIECE IDEAS:

Expressive seabird figurines take center stage, each posed and styled to bring personality, motion, and a sense of life to this coastal scene.

A gold-sequined runner mimics sunlit sand, adding a striking shimmer that contrasts beautifully with soft blues and weathered textures.

Handcrafted mini florals rise from birch wood disc bases, evoking windswept dunes with a natural elegance that feels intentionally coastal and one-of-a-kind.

Additional Supplies

Gold sequin fabric
Light blue table cover

Create Mini Florals

Use 2 small birch wood discs as bases to mount the floral clusters.

Drill holes into each disc, matching the width of your floral stems.
Insert and glue in foxtail stems and sparkly blue laurel.
The birch discs will blend with the natural tones of the centerpiece.

Lay the Foundation

Start with a serene base that nods to open skies and sun-drenched shores.

First, cover the table with a white tablecloth to add stability and prevent the top fabric from shifting.
Layer a light blue fabric or table cover over the top for a calm, coastal backdrop.
Cut a piece of gold-sequined fabric (approximately 16 inches wide) to use as a table runner.
Center the runner as a shimmering strip of golden sand beneath your scene--no actual sand required.

Set the Scene

Now comes the fun part—bring your cast of characters to the stage.

Place the large white pelican at one end of the runner—he’s the showstopper.
Anchor the blue lobster buoy lantern at the opposite end for height, color, and balance.
Position the seabird figurines in between, spacing them naturally like they’re strolling a sandy shoreline.
Nestle in your completed floral arrangements to add rhythm and elevation.
Add two seashell groupings—one near the pelican and one near the lantern—to reinforce the beachy vibe.
Top the shell cluster on the end opposite the lantern with the blue crab ornament for another splash of color.

Guest Experience

Set place settings with brushed gold utensils for a luxe glow without feeling too polished.
Choose a deeper shade of blue for the napkins, neatly centered at each place setting.
