Summer time entertaining is the best. Who doesn't love the warm weather, or if you're lucky an ocean breeze, easy cooking (BBQs) & cleanups, and relaxing outdoors with the ones you love. Some fun ideas for your summer entertaining:
Color palate: Nothing beats bright, fresh, clean white for the summer. Try amping up your summer whites with some juicy citrus and calming blues.
Fabrics:
Linens, cotton - anything versatile and easy to clean. Burlap makes the perfect table cloth.
Ambiance:
Candle light- votive candles in mason jars or lanterns, oil lamps in hurricanes, substitute candles for fireflies
Galvanized tubs- hold everything from beverages, to shawls & flip flops
Red wagons- are not just for toting around your little ones, load them up with picnic or BBQ supplies/food
Sidewalk chalk- perfect for directing people to the backyard or lake house or to create a menu
Easy Dining:
Fruit ice
Mint or lavender infused lemonade
Get creative with your cutlery holders
Bright water- with lemons, mint or cucumber in adorable Ball Mason jars
Smores, need I say more?
