My Easy Summer Table Formula
Want a no-fail summer tablescape formula that feels chic but oh so relaxed, channeling those sunny carefree summer days?
Try this!
Start with a patterned topper...
Set the stage for your summer table with a pretty pattern. My go to for summer is an Indian block print cloth. It feels just the right amount of laid back and charming!
Both toppers are available in the shop: blue feathered tile and green florets!
Layer a rustic charger under refined dishware...
There is something about the playful mix of rustic and refined that feels so carefree and just right for summer. Mix your elegant dishes with a wicker or copper charger for the perfect summer pairing.
On the blue and white summer table a copper charger shows off this gorgeous Wedgwood Belmar plate with flowering basket.
On the green table wicker chargers set off a cabbage ware dinner plate with Royal Doulton salad plate.
Add chic glassware and a nonchalant napkin...
Just because you are setting a casual summer table doesn't mean it should be boring. Make it pop with chic glassware in a fun color or playful shape. I just snagged my dream Portieux Vallerysthal goblets in white on LiveAuctioneers!
Now you're probably wondering...how can a napkin be nonchalant?
It's all about a casual elegance! Think textured linen like this or even one that matches your cloth for a seamless look.
Arrange bold summer flowers in a casual vase...
Go bright and cheery with summer's vibrant blooms -- if they are from your own garden even better. Here I've arranged the same happy sunflowers in two different ways - both in casual but pretty vases: a wicker wrapped glass and a vintage sponge ware jug.
Set out fresh fruit and baked goods...
My summer table formula wouldn't be complete without a little edible bounty on the table. Whatever fruit or dessert you are serving with the meal go ahead and place it on the table. It is a feast for the eyes too!
I hope you've enjoyed this look at setting a care-free summer table!
