5 tips for a beautiful summer table setting for a party
A festive table setting doesn't have to be particularly difficult to achieve. With these tips, you can easily create a beautifully set table that suits summer parties, no matter the occasion!
1. Set the table outdoors
Nothing signals summer as clearly as being able to sit outside and eat without feeling cold. Take advantage of the opportunity and set the table on the patio, terrace, or in the garden. Do you have access to a larger courtyard? Even better! Make the most of summer and set up for the party outdoors if the weather permits.
2. Set the table with color
summer is filled with colors in everything from flower meadows to strawberry cakes. Let this be reflected in your table setting. Use colorful tablecloths, napkins, decorations, and seasonal flowers. Pastel colors like blue, yellow, pink, or green work perfectly in a festive summer table setting.
3. Serve canapés on different serving trays
Sandwiches are both simple and practical, the perfect snack for the party! Serve them in various serving trays or wooden cutting boards to get variety without having to complicate things. It gives a relaxed feeling, invites mingling, and makes it easy for guests to pick their favorites.
4. Set the table with napkin rings
Setting the table with napkin rings är ett litet, enkelt knep som ger stor effekt. Det gör varje plats vid bordet mer personlig och ger en känsla av att du lagt ner din tid och energi på dukningen. Oavsett om du använder tygservetter eller enklare engångsvarianter kan en servettring sätta den sista touchen på din festdukning.
5. Use light and heat
Even though summer days are warm, it can get chilly once the sun has gone down - but that doesn't mean the party has to end! Make sure to be prepared with candles and bioethanol lanterns. They not only provide warmth but also a cozy light that allows the evenings to continue late into the night.
