Summer is in full swing around here and we just cannot get enough of being outside- and that means eating dinner outdoors whenever we get the chance! This was a simple tablescape I put together using easy to find, affordable pieces from places like Target, Ikea, Walmart and Amazon. I have linked most of these items below, but I am a firm believer that you certainly do not need to purchase everything new to do a table. See that gold candle holder? It’s actually a utensil holder! And raffia for napkin rings. Repurposing and being creative is the best way to go and you’d be surprised what you can pull together!
My favorite thing about tablescapes is the feeling it brings to any gathering. It says, “Welcome! Come sit and stay a while! We are SO glad you’re here!” It’s so delightful to gather around a beautiful setting, enjoy delicious food and simply talk, laugh and connect.
I fell in love with this simple blue vase from Target and I have used it over and over again! The gold candle holder is actually a utensil holder but I loved the way it looked with a candle. I’m always looking for versatile design pieces!
This blue buffalo check table cloth is an absolute classic and pairs well with so many summer looks!
And this gorgeous silverware. Need I say more? Cups are plastic and perfect for outdoor gatherings.
And, my favorite melamine plates! I found a similar option at Pottery Barn with a much larger price tag. These equally beautiful plates won’t break the bank at just $2 each!
I hope this post inspires you to put a table together and invite some loved ones over to enjoy. It’s the best way to spend a summer evening! Xx Heidi
