Dinner at the beach….isn’t that what summer is all about?! If you have a beach house, the “dinner at the beach” is easy enough! If you don’t live near water, invite some friends over for a casual summer dinner alfresco this weekend (with a beach theme, of course!). Create a casual, yet put-together outdoor space that will have your friends toasting your inner “Martha Stewart!” Set up a sitting area complete with the typical comforts of an indoor living room – pillows, lanterns with candles to create some mood lighting, a bowl of flowers or fruit on a table – make it an extension of your home. Serve dinner on your patio table – no linens necessary, just a centerpiece of fresh flowers or pots of grass to give it that casual, beach feel. Add a special touch to your place setting by tying a personalized tag to a starfish, and slip it into your napkin. Make sure to add some votive candles or small lanterns to your centerpiece to give an additional glow. I’m always looking for new dishes to try…..top of my list for this weekend?!

Add a little fizz and some retro fun to your next party with a soda bar! Whether you decide to use old-fashioned soda pop (available in a variety of flavors – all with fabulous vintage logos on the bottles) or the modern day versions – choose a variety of colors and flavors and prominently show them off. The colorful bottles can act as decorations for your party too! Keep the bottles refrigerated until right before the party starts, and then arrange the bottles by color on a table. Add a bucket full of ice, a stack of cups, and for those wanting to drink right out of the bottle – brightly colored plastic straws! I think this idea would be darling for a child’s birthday party, an outdoor BBQ, or even a casual, summer wedding. Images via Project Wedding

Now that the summer months are upon us, we will take to the patio for all of our family dinners. There is just something about being outside that makes everyone relax and enjoy themselves. This weekend, gather your family or friends for a simple dinner on the patio. Add instant ambiance by hanging mason jar lanterns from your umbrella to add a little twinkle. Dress up your table by adding a touch of nature to your placesetting. I love the idea of tying a leaf or flower from your garden onto everyone’s napkin…it’s the perfect touch of color! I’m on a bit of a fruit kick lately, so for dinner serve a peach, arugula and goat cheese salad, mango and chicken skewers, with brown sugar peaches with ice cream for dessert. Yum! What will you be serving at your next family dinner?!
