A Lovely Dockside Tablescape

As a blissful day on the water winds down, bring everyone together around a colorful dockside tablescape that evokes the carefree feel of vacation.
With a gentle breeze blowing, relaxation and fellowship will rule the afternoon. Cloak the table in bright colors to evoke the carefree feel of vacation. Create a festive runner-style centerpiece with a parade of seasonal blooms and red lanterns.

For a special touch, encourage friends and family to decorate their own stone place marker with colored pens or paint—a token of remembrance for this fun-filled occasion. 
Give the event a patriotic feel with red, white, and blue décor, punctuated by dashes of cheery yellow. Housing dishware and utensils in stylish wicker baskets makes transporting them simple.

As the fanfare draws to an end, enjoy the scenic outlook with those you love most.
