Tablescape: Easy Summer Lunch

In Charleston, the summer weather has been mild (well, mostly). In honor of the low 80s (not the era, the temperature), we decided to style an outdoor lunch tablescape. We gathered our favorite summer entertaining items and threw together a tablescape in under five minutes. Easy peasy!

We used sunflowers and our favorite home-made vases to create a center piece.

If you are low on place cards, flip over the back of unused business cards and use an ink pen to create a simple place card (Shhh...that is my best kept secret).

There you have it, an easy summer tablescape. Just add your favorite salad and enjoy.

Tablescape: The Rustic Table

Last night, I had some girlfriends over for dinner, even though it was just a casual get together, I still wanted it to be pretty. When I got home from work, I searched the internet for some inspiration (and drank a glass of wine) and then it was time to begin styling the table. I picked neutral elements and then added a splash of blue. It was simple, but still lovely! Some people enjoy to cook, I enjoy the set-up and thus, the table was prettier then the food.

These were some of my inspirations:

The inspiration image (below) from MarthaStewart.com, is a tablescape that I would love to recreate on the next girl's dinner. I love the rustic feel, but the touch of gold keeps it elegant.
