Two ways of getting blocks next to each other are to use either tables or 
lists.

Based on your limited description, I would choose lists:

  <list-block
   <list-item
    <list-item-label
     <table
     </
    </
    <list-item-body
     <table
     </
    </
   </
  </

Be careful to set your indents on your label and body not to overlap, as 
overlapping list item component areas is an error condition.

I hope this helps.
