How to set up an effortless summer tablescape

June 6, 2018July 5, 2022 Andressa Hara Comments Off on How to set up an effortless summer tablescape

Friends, summer has arrived with full force here in Texas. It’s been over 90 degrees, sometimes 100 degrees every day. Yikes! It makes almost impossible to entertain outdoors unless you are inside a pool. Not to mention, if you re throwing a birthday party, there’s no way your cake and cupcakes will survive this type of heat if you are planning a fun set up to welcome your special guests!

Today, I am showing you how you can set up a casual summer tablescape for effortless entertaining you can do it on your own in no time. Whether you are throwing a birthday party or just celebrating the season, this modern simple set up will do the job.

PICK A COLOR SCHEME & SELECT YOUR TABLESCAPE ESSENTIALS

Opt for great pieces that are easy and kid friendly, such as melamine plates in different sizes you can layer to add texture to your table set up and platters for serving drinks, sweets or appetizers. The stylish and vibrant Orangeade collection inspired me to also add a pop of yellow for a fresh look!
