What goes into good summer entertaining? Â I am going to take a page from my friend’s book to answer that question. Â She effortlessly hosted an al fresco evening in her backyard for 35 people last month.
Outdoor gardens are the perfect decor.
One long table kept the seating easy.
Color scheme? Â Keep it simple. Â Everything white, with hints of blue and turquoise. Â Beach rocks were place cards, flowers were from the garden. Â One glass style was used for water and wine.
Hire your children! Â Emily and Mae set the table.
More of our kids put to work. Â Bartending, serving and clearing. Â Great job ladies!
Little white lights hanging over the table were simple and provided just enough light for dinner.
Wry Home candles lined the table. Â The color scheme fit in and they didn’t blow out in the breeze!
Three delicious coconut cakes for dessert.
  
The evening was a celebration for two friends getting married in the fall.
The food was farm fresh and delicious, served family style at the table.
A lovely toast to the happy couple.
Such an elegant evening.
After dessert, there were more toasts and dancing. Â Summer entertaining at its best!

My fifteen minutes of fame! Love it! Kudos to Alicia and Philip. Amazing hosts , amazing friends
Spectacular. Does she “hire out”?
She had an amazing eye and style! Not sure she hires out 🙂
Would love to know how they constructed the light supports – my current back yard challenge.
I know! She has a very handy son who helped her construct it.
