Summer Dining and Table Settings
Do you enjoy al fresco dining with the sounds of nature providing a little background music? If you’re a little reluctant to eat with the bugs, maybe these summer dining ideas and table settings will coax you to sup outside. (This post contains affiliate links.)
Even if you don’t have a designated outdoor dining space, you can create an impromptu spot by taking a small table outside and placing it anywhere. Add a few Edison lights to the trees for ambiance.
Even a rustic background can be romantic and inviting for outdoor meals.
Summer table settings don’t have to be ornate and fancy. Create a simple tablescape in blue and white – complete with a few decorative sailboats as a centerpiece.
Summer dining is always pretty in white. White plates, white napkins, and a few white flowers from the garden tossed in for fragrance and beauty.
Don’t forget to include brightly colored fruity drinks! Whether you choose to add alcohol or not, you can’t deny their pretty appeal for al fresco dining. Add a brightly colored centerpiece to match!
Why leave the fun to kids’ parties? Add brightly colored paper cups and striped straws to create a fun festive mood. You can mix and match them in a variety of patterns and colors.
Decorative lanterns hanging from the tree, flowers from the garden, and a soft flowing tablecloth create a romantic scene for al fresco dining. Think about creating an outdoor summer dining space where you normally wouldn’t eat. You might be surprised what you come up with. And it’s just one more way to enjoy the long, luxurious days of summer!
