Elegant Al Fresco

The summer season is upon us, and it's time to spruce up your outdoor dining table with a splash of cheerfulness for Memorial Day Weekend! The warm weather and longer daylight hours create the perfect setting for al fresco meals with your family and friends. At Susan Semmelmann Interiors, we love to create visual interest in any space with accessories. The elements pictured in these gorgeous tablescapes capture the essence of summertime bliss! Create this look in your backyard through the magic of accessorizing with colorful dining decor. Start by choosing a tablecloth or runner with a lively pattern to set the stage. Next, adorn your table with mix-and-match dinnerware and napkins in coordinating shades or patterns. You can tie them with ribbon for an extra touch of charm! Showcase your creativity with centerpieces that embody the joyful spirit of summer like fresh flowers and fruits. As the sun sets, luminous accents such as candles or fairy lights will infuse the area with a warm ambiance. To complete the look, add textured cushions in outdoor-friendly fabrics to provide a cozy spot for conversation. Voila! You now have an enchanting outdoor oasis where you may enjoy seasonal delights and soak up the sun. Happy summer dining! Design/image credit to @casadopassadico @unetablebytania @julianleaver
