Taste of the Tropics Porch Supper

Taste of the Tropics table set with tropical flowers and green glassware

Set against nature’s brilliant backdrop, an array of reds and a spectrum of verdant hues transport guests to a tropical state of mind. Layer a solid green tablecloth with one covered in a motif that depicts the lavish flora of a warm-weather oasis, and continue the scheme on dinner plates bearing illustrations of palm tree leaves.

Red-and-white gingham napkins topped with brass dragonfly napkin ringsPlace setting featuring a palm leaf plate

Classic red-and-white gingham linens pop with a contrasting pattern; dragonfly napkin rings provide a bit of pizzazz. Incorporate orchids and mangoes into bright bouquets, allowing the fruit to tumble onto the table for a relaxed top note.
