• The Coral collection from Chilewich

• Confetti Dot Silver Beverage Napkins from Crate and Barrel, $4

• Metallic Thread Placemats from West Elm, 2 for $12

• Unison Porter Silver Linen/Organic Cotton Tablecloth, $57 at Design Public

• Kosta Boda Glimmer Votive with thin stripes (also available with wide stripes), $65 at Amazon
