Summer Entertaining

August 17, 2017

What goes into good summer entertaining?  I am going to take a page from my friend’s book to answer that question.  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?  Keep it simple.  Everything white, with hints of blue and turquoise.  Beach rocks were place cards, flowers were from the garden.  One glass style was used for water and wine.

More of our kids put to work.  Bartending, serving and clearing.  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.  The color scheme fit in and they didn’t blow out in the breeze!

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.  Summer entertaining at its best!

I have loved design ever since I painted my bedroom walls high-gloss lime green in the fourth grade. A lifelong hobby, mixing low cost items with a few pricier pieces thrown in, has become The Wry Home. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t!
