7 Secrets to Creating a Jaw-Dropping Summer Table Setting in Minutes

July 5, 2023 · In: Entertaining, Interior Design

There’s something so magical about these festive summer days! The warm sun, the vibrant colors, and the joyous atmosphere make it the perfect time to gather friends and family for a delightful meal. And what better way to elevate your summer dining experience than by creating a gorgeous table setting in minutes? Here are my top tips to help you achieve just that!

Use an umbrella to get the sun off the table! With scorching temperatures reaching 90+ degrees, like here in Hotlanta, providing some shade is essential for everyone’s comfort. A umbrella not only protects your guests from the sun’s rays but also adds a fun and elegant element to the setting.

Set the foundation with a rattan charger. Placing a rattan charger beneath your plates adds a natural and rustic touch to the table. It acts as a base and sets the stage for the rest of the look, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Opt for crisp white dinnerware. White dinnerware always exudes elegance and versatility. I personally love the fluted ones I found on Amazon because they add a subtle detail that catches the eye and enhances the overall aesthetic.

Elevate the look with stunning napkins. A luxurious napkin can transform an ordinary table into an extraordinary one. For a patriotic touch, I chose blue toile napkins for the 4th of July. However, don’t be afraid to switch them up for each occasion to create a fresh look every time.

Choose the perfect napkin ring. The napkin ring is a small but impactful detail that can make a big difference. Depending on the napkin, you can go for bold or subtle options. I opted for stunning dark woven napkin rings to add a touch of elegance and to complement the summery texture.

Don’t forget the glassware. As the temperature rises, staying hydrated is key. Provide the perfect glassware for your guests, including water glasses to quench their thirst and smaller glasses for refreshing beverages like juice, soda, or even a summer cocktail.

Add the finishing touches. To inject whimsy into your table setting, consider using a charming salt and pepper shaker. This playful addition prevents the table from feeling too serious and adds a lighthearted touch. Additionally, arrange fresh flowers in silver julep cups to infuse romance and elegance into the atmosphere.

With these simple yet effective tips, you can effortlessly create a stunning table setting that enhances your summer gatherings. Embrace the magic of these festive summer days and enjoy the beauty and joy that a thoughtfully arranged table can bring!
