SUMMER TABLESCAPE INSPIRATION
Choose the perfect location in your home or garden to host a summer BBQ.
Come up with a theme like I did "Smokin Hot" and create your decorations around the theme. I took a mini bbq with dry ice and coke bottles for my centerpiece.
Plan out your details: Linens Decorations Dishes Flatware Place cards Menu
Plant a few herbs to use on the table with some vegetables.
Create beautiful lighting to welcome your guests . I started with a garden wire basket and wove strips of fabric through the wire. You can read more in my post about how to make these shadpes.
Use fruits and vegetables to decorate your table with. I used assorted lettuces, radishes and lots of tomatoes.
Use lettuce with lots of color.
Make place cards for each guest. I simply placed a fork into a styrofoam ball inside of a flower pot, added some moss, and placed the name card into the prongs of the fork. Place marshmallows, chcolate and graham crackers for S'mores in the box.
All of the personalized touches will make your guests feel special.
Mini BBQ filled with vintage coke bottles and dry ice take center stage on this summer tablescape.
Design your menu you work with your theme. Being our these is Smoking It, We smoked tri tip, made a smokey brussel sprout side dish and served a smoked Old Fashioned cocktail.
