OUTDOOR SUMMER TABLESCAPE IN BLUE AND WHITE

| |

Summer entertaining should be easy. I know that when I have friends or family over, I keep it very simple – from the tablescape to the food, I like to create a feeling that’s relaxed and laid back. Welcome back to the Styled + Set Holiday Entertaining blog tour – Summer edition! If you’re coming from our very talented host of the tour, Lory, from Designthusiasm, welcome to our backyard! Lory is such a huge inspiration and her tablescapes always have me drooling. If you’re new here, I’m thrilled to have you and I hope you love it enough to stay a while! I’d love it if you signed up for my newsletter to get my weekly updates! If you’re here often, you know the drill! Come on in and relax on our new patio with me…An outdoor tablescape with blue and white ginger jars and a mix of blue and white patterned dishes brings a casual yet elegant look to your outdoor space.Last week, I revealed our brand new patio makeover, so the excitement is still very much alive in our home when it comes to spending time out here! We are so happy to have an incredible space for entertaining and relaxing, that we absolutely love. You can read all about the reveal here.

It’s fun to use things you may not normally think of, when layering and creating displays around your home.

I wanted a seamless flow from indoors to out. I did the same here when designing this table, and used my indoor pillows to create that same feeling.
Bring your indoor pillows outside for your Summer entertaining and create a comfortable and inviting ambiance for guests.There’s no reason you can’t use your good dishes and decor outside when you’re entertaining! I actually keep a lot of my ginger jars and other accessories out here now as well, because I want the feeling to be as comfortable and welcoming outside, as it is inside.

I used some gourmet sparkling water (these are actually ‘props’ in my accessories arsenal, but I would use the real thing normally!) and a few vintage inspired details and accessories to bring the book together.

On a side note, I placed small dishes below my candleholders to catch all of that dripping wax! The slightest breeze can create a lot of wax…I’ll have to remember the dripless kind next time!An outdoor tablescape with blue and white ginger jars and a mix of blue and white patterned dishes brings a casual yet elegant look to your outdoor space.An outdoor tablescape with blue and white ginger jars and a mix of blue and white patterned dishes brings a casual yet elegant look to your outdoor space.An outdoor tablescape with blue and white ginger jars and a mix of blue and white patterned dishes brings a casual yet elegant look to your outdoor space.
