I set the shark buffet desk with my blue and white striped tablecloth first seen at Disney Dinners: Hercules and added a nautical rope and hung light-weight vintage-looking lifesavers within the entrance of the desk.
I used all blue, white, clear, and rattan serving items and used two seashell bowls so as to add to the east coast island really feel. The meals was so colourful and beautiful and actually added to the decor! Extra on that later.
The again of the buffet desk was lined with flowers, white nautical lanterns, and an abundance of enormous seashells and shell garlands. I particularly love this “respect the locals” signal I discovered on Amazon.
I scattered smaller seashells all all through the desk and set out lovable shark cups and “chomp” napkins which might be cute as may be.

I add Amarena cherries and a little bit of cherry juice to the underside of every cup to be the blood within the water. Get the recipe right here.
