CENTERPIECE IDEAS
Use fruits to portray the freshness of summer. Think of the fruits that you want to eat or juice up on a hot summer day and make use of them. Fruits like mangoes, apples, pineapples, oranges, peaches, watermelon, papaya, avocado and bananas will be some of the great options. Put them in a beautiful basket and place them on the center of your table.
Side Tip: Use a red cloth to envelop them in before actually putting them in the basket. This will make them look even more bountiful and delicious.
Another great tip is to scatter their seeds all around the table. Just make sure that your seeds are already dried up or you would invite unwanted guests like ants, rats and other pests. Scatter them as you would scatter rose petals on your table on Valentine’s Day.
You can also use flowers for your centerpiece. Sun flowers are big and gorgeous flowers that will help you send the summer theme all throughout your table setting. Put a generous amount of sunflowers on a little basket and also use a red cloth to enhance its features.
Scatter sunflower seeds and petals everywhere. Remember, there is an art to scattering. Be sure to have an equal amount of material on all sides of your table. Don\’t overcrowd the east side and have nothing on the west side. Balance it and make sure that it will look enticing and summer-y.
Put a beach ball, buckets and shovels and a fair amount of sand for the centerpiece. Arrange them stylishly on the middle of your table.
THE LITTLE ONES MATTER THE MOST
Use earth toned napkins, placemats, table runners and table cloths to exuberate the summer season. Just remember to balance the color out. Don\’t use dark colors altogether. Offset this dark color with a lighter tone.
Make your drinks exciting by placing mini umbrellas on them. Send out a tropical-summer-y vibe by doing this.
Use colorful pails to house your utensils in. Nothing sends out summer fun than lots of colorful buckets!
Put starfishes and fishes figurines all throughout the table. You can even give them to your family and friends as giveaways after the dinner.
Translate summer fun unto your table setting. It will be such a joy to be able to celebrate this beautiful, zesty and fun filled season in the midst of a great meal with your so loved family and friends.
