When I registered for wedding gifts thirteen years ago, I didn’t take a lot of chances and asked for all white dishes. They’ve served me well, but I love the idea of having a second (patterned) set to mix and match. (Plus, most of my original white plates and bowls have bit the dust thanks to lots of little, unsteady hands.)
So, I was thankful for the chance to partner with Mikasa recently. And, when they let me choose my pattern to create a pretty table scape, I went a little bolder but still classic with a mix of cobalt blue and white.
Their Cadence collection in cobalt worked great with the blue and white pottery collection I’ve started. I also mixed in touches of silver with chargers and little dessert cups.
For my table, I used a mix of the crisscross and zigzag accent plates. (I’m a fan of mixing and matching lots of different patterns on a table, actually.)
I love that this collection can be dressed up easily for a dinner party, but is casual enough for every day use. In fact, I’m thinking of ordering another set of six plates so that we can start using these on a regular basis. (On second thought, maybe I need more than six. . . )
Need some blue and white for your table? Mikasa is giving one of my readers six place settings from the Cadence Cobalt collection. (The winner will be able to choose between the zigzag or crisscross patterns for their accent plates.)
This giveaway is now closed. Congrats to the winner:

You can find more Mikasa collections at Macys.com, or follow along on Facebook and Pinterest.
Thanks to Mikasa for providing the dishes for this post.
My first set of dishes was Blue Danube, many, many years ago, and sadly, very few remain in my cupboard. Still a fan of blue and white, I would love to win these beautiful Mikasa dishes!
I am a fan of blue and white as well. These are beautiful and I would love a chance to win a set! Thanks

Beautiful tablescape! I inherited a set of Blue Danube dishes from my mothers parents and during our last military move they lost a box containing many of the pieces. I was devastated! And am slowly putting my china collection back together again, this would make a fabulous addition :-)
my current dishes are red and brown, in a grey, blue and white kitchen. i would LOVE to win. thanks for the chance!
Love that you can use the “old” blue and white pattern with these dishes… and because they are casual enough that you can use everyday is just icing on the cake!
Gorgeous table, those plates would look oh so lovely in my home!
Super cute plates. Would be so fun to win.
Emily, your table is beautiful, and what a great mix of dishes! I’m starting to add in a little blue as well and love it with all of my greens. Mikasa has always had such beautiful collections, I’m a fan!

Cobalt blue is my favorite color!

I love that blue and white is making a comeback!
Love the blue!

I have the Blue Willow dishes and love blue and white! It sure would be nice to add to my collection :)
How fun is this? I too chose the safe route and went with all white dishes years ago. It would be a treat to mix things up a bit and not be so safe.
Love the table. I’ve always loved the cobalt blue….I grew up with dutch accents and the deep blue reminds me of that decor. Beautiful!
Gorgeous! Love the blue!
I have white dishes as well, and would loveto have either of these to go with them!
I love blue and white pottery! What a fun prize!
I chose all white dishes when I got married 13 years ago! They are so timeless! But, I’m a little bolder in my old age and not so scared of color!! ;) Love the pops of blue! Also, a classic combo!!
Blue and white is so timeless!! Love!! ❤

Blue and white is my favorite look for any room– I actually need help to break out of it and branch out into more colors. But I still would like more blue and white dishes. :)

Beautiful! I have orange dishes, but I need a change, been too long!

When my husband and I got married, we neglected to register for gifts. Instead, we asked for donations towards the two of us going on a mission trip with our Church. Although the mission trip was truly life-changing, I’d be lying if a tiny part of me doesn’t wish we had a nice set of plates for entertaining.
I love the timelessness of blue and white!! We also have white dishes, but no kids, so they are mostly intact! I would love to layer these beautiful Mikasa with mine!
I love your table setting, Emily! I also love the mix and match look. Thanks for this amazing giveaway. :) I also have a lot of white plates and would love to add a splash of color.
Love all the blue mixed with the hits of green from the apes. Gorgeous!
Apples, not apes! Ha
Beautiful! There is no better color combo than blue and white. I’d love the chance to win. Thanks for the giveaway! x

My blue and white Dansk Dinnerware is at a minimum. I need to replace it soon.
I also chose white dishes when I was a bride — I would love to add in some pattern. Thanks for the chance!
I love this! I have the plain white everyday, ginger jars…all I am missing is the Mikasa! Soo beautiful. Fingers crossed

Love the blue and white, as did my mother.
Love the blue and white. I always come back to it.
You had me at blue and white. Love the patterns you chose. I also have a good set of white china so this would be a welcome addition of colour.

You had me at blue and white. I love the patterns you chose. I also have a plain white set of china and it could certainly do with some sprucing up.
I love the colors! Thanks
Love your tablescape! I let my husband choose our dishes when we got married, and he chose…black. They’re actually kind of cool dishes, but I need a little color in my life. I love the crisscross accent plates, so fun (I especially love them mixed with the zig zag, but if I have to choose…;))
I have all white dishes and love them so much… makes the food truly be center stage. However, when I am entertaining, I wish I had some serving plates that had some color to help add to the ambiance.

I am always drawn to blue and white. It would be such a fun addition. Thanks!
I am embarrassed to say that I don’t really have a “set” of dishes..I have just a Hodge podge collection that I have picked up randomly. I guess its just something that I don’t “think” about buying. These are gorgeous, love the blue and white contrast, thanks for the inspiration to pay more attention to my dishes!
These are beautiful…very classy!
I absolutely love blue and I absolutely need new dishes. Love, love, love!!
Those are so pretty! I love the cobalt blue against the white!

This is exactly what I’ve been looking for! Great giveaway! I didn’t register for dishes because my Grandma got a complete white set of Crate & Barrel from her moving-away neighbors for $20, and she gave them to us. I got married quickly, so EVERYTHING I registered for was white. Now I’m coloring up and looking to dress my table. :)
I LOVE blue & white china!!
I have mostly white dishes, as well. But I have added a few pieces and they happen to be colbalt blue!
I LOVE these!! We have some blue and white dishes they would work so well with! Thanks for a great giveaway!

I have started my own blue and white collection for my entryway shelving. Would love to have dishes for the adjacent dining room!
love blue and white!
Blue and white has been my go-to choice in tableware for more than 40 years. It NEVER goes out of style and the patterns are NEVER boring.
These are so nice–I think the blue is classic enough that it wouldn’t get old, either.
Oh, how I would love a place setting like that!
Really digging the blue and the modern patterns!
Oh my goodness……how amazing would it be to win these! Fingers crossed!
Love the everything about them!
My china is Mikasa and would look lovely mixed with the crisscross pattern!
If I knew then what I know now, I too would have chosen a white pattern over my now dated mint and peach place settings :-(… Would be fun to have a redo!
The blue and white is so pretty. I love it. Timeless.

Pretty! Would look good along with those white dishes whether in my cabinet, dishwasher or sink. ;-)
Love adding pattern to a table setting. I’d love to win!
I, too, have all white dishes. These Mikasa dishes would make a beautiful accent on a table.
Thanks for the give away offer!
Beautiful table :)
Blue is my husband and my favorite color!! Loves these dishes and they would fit perfectly in our kitchen ;)
I’ve always been partial to plain white, classic dishes but it never hurts to try something new … Am hoping to win this giveaway! Thanks for partnering with Mikasa, Emily.
Oh I just love the blue and white and Mikasa too! Thank you for the chance!

I would love to step out of the box and add color to my white dishes as well! Thank you ;)

This collection is so fresh looking! I love it!
Love the splash of color! Thanks for the giveaway!!
Love your style and colbalt blue :)
Love the blue and white – the husband is a huge fan of the colors. Not having registered for china when we got married years ago makes me think that this set might be the one I should get!
You had me at blue and white–cobalt–zigzag–crisscross–I’m all in!!
I just recently discovered your blog and I love your style. You have become a new favorite with my morning coffee.
Very, very pretty! I love mixing it up too!
Love how striking blue and white is! Currently I have a cream and navy set of daily use dishes but they are definitely not nice enough for formal dinners! I would love to win such a beautiful set of dishware!
Love the plates! Love both patterns!
I love this place setting!
I am a succor for navy blue. Please pick me. They would look great in my kitchen.
Pick me! I love these blue and white plates! I think I’d choose the zig zag plates.
Gorgeous! Love that cobalt blue!
I love the blue and white! Reminds me of my mom’s table when she used to pull out blue willow plates.
That table is gorgeous! Love how you mixed the table setting up and couldn’t stop oogling the blue bowls (my classic white bowls are chipped and bland compared to my collection of blue and white plates….) would love these, whether I win them or buy them. Thanks for inspiration!

How fun and what lovely colors!

Absolutely Lurve the tablescape! Such an admirer of your designs.
I have always liked blue and white dishes! Would love a set of these!!
Oh, this is beautiful, Emily! And your styling is just lovely. I love that they are classic in color, yet a bit more modern in the patterns. Thanks for the chance!
What a fabulous give away! Your table is drool worthy!! I love mixing and layering too.
Love the bold blue accent that those dishes provide! I’m in the same boat in that a lot of my 8+ year old wedding registry dishes have bitten the dust so I’m looking for replacements!
The giveaway ends on my birthday! Oh, how cute those dishes would look with my new Threshold/Target white dishes! I still love my V&B Petit Fleur from 1986 mixed with my basic white dishes.
Absolutely gorgeous!!!
Such an amazing giveaway! Crossing my fingers I’m picked :)
In love with that fresh blue and white!! Would love to use it on my table!

My PB great white dishes could use a little inspiration too! The dinner plates are so big they do not fit in our dish washer so we eat off the salad plates.
My Mom has collected blue and white since before I was born. I’ve started to pick up pieces her and there as a tribute to her. This would be a great collection with a fresh take! Thanks, Mikasa!

I’m loving blue and white and am actually on the hunt for a piece to fit a new fern that I bought for our entryway sideboard. Those plates would look cute on my wall rack in the kitchen!

I have three blue and white pieces from:

I like what you’ve been doing with blue and white! I have five kids too, but would never be able to do all these projects you manage… so I just look at yours. Thanks, Emily!
In my house, navy blue is a neutral! I would love to add this fun set of dishes to my all white collection. I need to become more bold with patterns.

Ooohhh – would LOVE to win! thanks for the giveaway!
Awe:) I love this! I, like you Emily, registered for the basic, white W & S plates and have enjoyed adding seasonal flare & color to our table with accessory salad & dessert plates. My all time favorite table is an emotional set we acquired while honeymooning 14 years ago. Our only honeymoon purchase was a set of blue & white salad plates that every year I bring out to commemorate our anniversary. Winning this set would add so much more love to our table:)) thank you!
I love the blue and white pattern. I have been really into that color combo lately.
Great giveaway! Really enjoy your blog and the blue accent place settings are timeless
Great blog. I think the blue and white accents are timeless .

Just building a new home and using blue as my main decorating color. These would fit so nicely and I too have all white dishes. A little pop of color would be fabulous!
I’ve got some Japanese blue pottery, bought in Japan, that this pattern would look really well with.
I also registered for white dishes for my wedding! I think I would love to add some blue into the mix! 10 years of white is starting to feel boring!!!!
Love a classic blue and white setting! I could use to be a little more bold in my kitchen style!
I love your table and those plates are gorgeous!
