Party around a Summer Theme
Nothing says Summer quite like a beautiful tablescape. Whether you’re hosting an outdoor picnic or an indoor dinner party, a Summer tablescape can help create a fun and festive atmosphere. One of the best ways to create a seasonal feel is to use bright, warm colors. Try combining bright oranges, greens, and pinks to create a cheerful and sunny atmosphere. For a garden-inspired look, use wildflowers and a variety of fruits. Bowls of fruit will not only add a lovely addition to your decor and centerpieces, but they also make for a great touch to a bar cart. This way when you run out of cut lemons or limes you have them ready to go for your next round of cocktails.
To make sure your guests stay refreshed throughout the evening, include a variety of refreshing drinks and snacks in your tablescape. Be sure to have some options available for both adults and children. From lemonades and teas to fresh fruit and popcorn, you can create a fun and inviting atmosphere for all of your guests to enjoy.
To add to the Summer feel, play music or create a playlist to set the perfect seasonal mood. This can help get everyone in the party mood and keep the energy up throughout the night. Also, to keep everyone entertained, add a few outdoor games like horseshoes, cornhole, badminton, or croquet. With a beautiful Summer tablescape, you can make sure your guests have a great time and create lasting memories.
Set an Easy Table
A great way to start is by choosing bright Summer colors for your tablecloth and napkins. Adding a few colorful blooms in vases will instantly create a cheerful atmosphere, and the vibrant scent will certainly add to the ambiance. Placemats are a great way to add even more color to the table, and they can protect your tabletop from spills. Place a few small dishes on the table to hold condiments, salt and pepper, and other items while utilizing them as a decorative element. And finally, top off the table with a centerpiece that reflects the season, such as a bowl of fruit or a vase of flowers. With a few simple touches, you’ll have a beautiful Summer tablescape that will be sure to impress your guests.
For this super simple tablescape idea, I went with small bistro tables. You can add several of these to your yard for intimate conversation and quiet areas to sit in between playing yard games or swimming in the pool. These come in multiple colors and are foldable making them a great addition to your party planning collection. Linked -here- and below for you.
Creating the perfect Summer tablescape is one of the most enjoyable parts of the season. To make it extra special, a centerpiece is a perfect way to liven up the table and my signature start to any table display I put together. To make a beautiful centerpiece, start with bright-colored flowers to create a garden variety display. To add a fragrant touch, incorporate some of your favorite herbs into the design. Place the centerpiece in the middle of your table to be the focal point of your Summer tablescape. Have extra flowers on hand? Make additional floral arrangements to add to your bar cart or drink area, inside of your home to keep the party going in all areas and in the bathroom for a pretty piece of decor when guests use the powder room.
